I'm Working in a company. It has been almost 6 months. And I am also studying at college. But now i cant handle both at same time. So now i want to leave my job but my employer told me to do notice period of 3 months otherwise i have to pay that 3 months salary to the company. But I'm not able to serve notice period. Notice period is compulsory? Can I take leaves when I'm on notice period? Additionally They took my original 10th Certificate. And I have also Signed on Confirmation letter. Here is the condition of notice period which is mentioned in the my signed confirmation letter - Notice Serving Period In case of any situation of leaving the title, a written application (Resignation) must be submitted to the company. You will need to serve 3 Months of your Service after your resignation is approved. Meanwhile you need to prepare/train a staff member who can work on your behalf with the same professionalism that you had. Please guide me what should I do?

Dear Client, If the company policy mandates serving of notice period, then it is an obligation over the employee to serve the notice period. It is legally binding in nature. If you want to take leave during your notice period, take approval from HR or or from your manager. In this scenario, try to do an amicable settlement and request your manager or HR to waive the notice period, explain your situation that you are unable to balance work and studies. Request for the return of your original 10th grade certificate. You can help in training any member staff, who can work on your behalf and complete all the assigned task given to you before leaving the establishment. This might convince your manager to waive the serving of notice period.
