        My friend works at an MNC and he has submitted his resignation 2 months back. The manager did not respond to the mail and said they will give him a better offer to retain him. They eventually did not and now after serving 2 months of notice period, when my friend asked for an email for the resignation acceptance and LWD confirmation they are using the excuse that since he has not raised the resignation on the HR portal, he has to serve another 3 months notice period from today onwards.

        What are his options? He joining date for the new company is in a month.

        Can a employer deliberately extend the notice period if we don’t follow the exact exit procedure?

        Need urgent help!

          Read the policy manual regarding resignation. Usually it recommends a set procedure for resignation. Your employment contract refers to this manual for guidance.

          Raise now in the HR portal with original LWD and add screenshot of original email to the portal.

          Did he mark the HR in resignation email? Why not? Escalate to the higher ups.

          Worst case scenario: if they deduct anything from full and final for shorter notice period, he can approach the labour court.
