Hi,
I resigned from the company and am going to join a new company. Currently, I am on the notice period with my current employer. I requested my Project Manager to release me asap, and he accepted the request, releasing me 15 days prior to the completion of the notice period.
I want to ask, "Do I have to pay the money to the company for the remaining 15 days (not serving the notice period)?" My HR is saying, "You have to pay money for the remaining 15 days, and they will deduct it as part of the final settlement."
Can I challenge the HR?

As during joining, you might have acknowledged the Standing Orders of the organization which state that you are obliged to adhere to the norms of the company.
If the notice period is 30 days, 15 days are served, and the remaining days are to be paid back; otherwise, they will process your Full and Final settlement with deductions, and there are high chances of withholding your relieving or service letters.
If you have a good rapport with the process managers, there are chances of waiving the notice period and relieving you early.

I am also in the same situation; my HR is telling me that since I have not completed the notice period, they will not issue a relieving letter. Can anyone from HR please confirm what I can do in this situation to get my relieving letter?

Dear Bharath,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I believe there is no legal recourse to take action against them.

Hi all,
The final settlement will be as per your appointment letter (with respect to notice period) or the rules governed. However, until and unless the HODs (authorized person) specifically mention that the notice period is to be waived off, nobody can do anything. Hence, you have to obtain clearance from the authorized person; the amount will be deducted in lieu of the notice period.
I have one small doubt - why don't you demand the new employer to reimburse the notice period at the time of the interview, which can be very much possible, rather than expecting the relaxation from the present employer? Because you know, as per the company rules, you should pay. Instead of requesting or begging the present employer, it is better to demand the new employer.

Dear avirocks,
You just need to check the terms mentioned in the Appointment Letter. If it states that you need to pay for not serving the notice period, then you have to do so.
Furthermore, you shouldn't challenge the HR on these matters as it could lead to trouble. Instead, you should appreciate your PL & HR for accepting your request to be relieved soon. Approach the situation in a factual manner. :)
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
