April 10, 2025 at 2:46 pmMy friend resigned earlier this week, with the intention of saving notice period of 1.5 out of her 3. And remaining she was planning to buyout the remaining.But they said she can leave on 11th itself, and no need to buyout. Her mail acknowledges it also. No mention of buyout.
Now today she got a mail to either pay 3 months or to serve all 3 months notice.
Her new company already thinks she will be able to join next week.
What to do? Please help.

April 10, 2025 at 3:39 pmIf the earlier proposal was accepted by your friend and acknowledged by the company in writing then no need to do anything. Simply tell the company that the previous offer was accepted and cant be revoked anymore. Tell them straight based on this they have made their future commitments and their last working day is Friday as agreed earlier formally and legally and there is no change/modification to it.Have all this in writing and if its over email it should be either to or cc’d their personal email so that they can prove this to new company in case the current company doesn’t provide relieving letter.

April 10, 2025 at 5:21 pmShe is worried that the new company will get contacted by her current, and that will ruin her chances. The new one is a very good mnc.The new mnc will do a background verification, will any of this affect it? Will they reach out to the current hr/team?
Thank you for replying

April 10, 2025 at 5:23 pmThe thing is they are saying its a miscommunication. Its a startup, one of the founding members and her current lead decided the dates and everyone else were cc’d. So they must all be aware, but today they are pulling this on her.Do you see anyway that she will get affected?

April 10, 2025 at 7:38 pmNo. Just tell her to avoid any other communication and she should be strong to the date they already communicated -

April 12, 2025 at 11:52 amTell her to forward all that email communication to her personal mail. Or maybe print it out even. If it was a company mail, she’ll lose access to her proof (the email) when they close her email id.Go ahead and join the new company, and if they bother you even once, tell them directly that you’d file a case against them.

April 12, 2025 at 2:22 pmShe has everything in her personal id, she returned the laptop as well.
She got a mail saying they will fail her background verification in the future because of this. Will that be a problem?-

April 12, 2025 at 2:28 pmI mean, it is a threat yes, and gives you the grounds for filing a case against them. I suggest you do that.And I am not an hr to know how that stuff works, maybe ask in r/developersIndia or similar sub, but in a nutshell it can be a problem.
I mean, they can’t just backtrack on something just by saying it was a miscommunication. But miscommunications do occur. Either they have a sure idea of being legally right, or messing with you.
Try reading up on some similar cases, and what the courts decided on it. For instance, just recently the courts decided that if an employer sends extra money to an employee by mistake, the employee is not liable to give it back.

April 12, 2025 at 2:47 pmOh they said they wont be taking any legal actions against her, just that they will fail her bgv. Which means they know they are at fault here.
