IMy girlfriend works for a small consultancy which helps students with study abroad opportunities where she was laid off yesterday
It’s a Lala company which payed salaries of cash/ google pay
Today they sent a message on WhatsApp saying that she has to serve one month notice period but she does not want to work there
Will there be any consequences of not working for one more month regarding experience letter and other issues
Please help me as I am not sure what needs to be done

AIt is a fairly standard term in employment contracts. If she signed such a contract, she would be in breach of contract if she refused to serve. She may get sued and will at least get a bad reference from the employer in future.
I have personally had to serve notice periods I didnt want to because I wanted to stay compliant with the contract i signed. Some contracts allow the employee to pay the salary value to the employer instead of serving the notice if the employer allows it. Check if that option is available.

IThank you I’ll pass on your message to her
But what I am confused is if she is laid off doesn’t it mean that the company will pay the employee the notice period duration salary
-
ANot necesary. They can ask her to serve the notice or pay her salary in lieu of serving notice. It is their choice.

SUsually when an employee is laid off that day would be their last working day, they are expected to provide full and final settlement and severance package, as it a lala company do not expect latter part. If they are making her work as per notice period make sure she gets the salary (chances are slim though).good luck

SNo. Ask her to leave. These companies won’t spend money on lawyers to send legal notices or court cases.

IBut will they give the experience letter If she denies to work
Do we have any leverage or law to put some pressure on them

UThe standard is usually 1 month notice period or 1 months pay. It goes both ways. The company basically yold your gf her last date is 1 month from now.
That is the way to look at it.
It’s nothing personal. Best to deal with it professionally and serve the Notice period. 1 month passes very fast.
Think longer term. Does your girlfriend not intend to put this company in her CV? Will future employers never check references with this company? History is asset in the professional world. Be mature and serve the Notice period.
