Hi,
I am working in one of the MNC company in hyderabad and 2 months notice period. Actually I got an offer from a company but they are asking me to join within 7 days else offer will be cancelled. I allready served 1 month notice period in the present company. I discussed with project manger and HR but they are not allowing to relieve immediatly. As per the offer letter clause mentioned as If I wish to resign and do not want to serve the notice period then I require to pay salary of the notice period to the company. and the company rerserves the rights to make this decision. But my manager not ready to releive even I told I am reay to pay the salary. please help me.

Are you handling any project right now which need to be completed, or have you given the handover to someone, please let us know to advise you accordingly.
If you are not handling any project or you have handed over your charge to someone, stop going to the office and join your new company (which is not ethical, but for career growth). Also inform your new company that you will not be able to give the relieving letter and experience letter.

But the new company is not agrng without experience/ relieving letter. Please help. Yes I am handling a project but as per the offer letter clause mentioned as If I wish to resign and do not want to serve the notice period then I require to pay salary of the notice period to the company. So what is your openion regarding this clause?

It is advisable to either complete the project as early as possible or give proper handover to have smooth and clean exit

I do not think you should accept a job in a company that wants you to join immediately (without even the standard 1 month notice period) and at the same time is inflexible in its own requirement that you get relieving letter from previous company. It smacks of arrogance to me that they think they are important and everyone else is unimportant and must fall in line
Hopefully you will get other opportunities.

As per your appointment letter, the buy out option is at the option of the employer The employer has chosen not to accept the buy out. Legally you are required to complete the 2 month notice period.

The employer in this case obviously is concerned with his rights and protecting his interest.

So he has drafted the appointment letter they way it suites him. In that, he chose not to allow an option of early departure. It's natural, since reimbursement of salary is not going to compensate for disruption of a project by an employee leaving suddenly.

Of course, for academic purposes I can argue that you signed the agreement on your free will. But the reality is that few of us have a choice of refusing an employment because we do not like the wording of the appointment letter. Sorry, the bargaining power rests with the employer.

You are stuck between the rock and a hard place, as the term goes.

Legally you can't do anything

You can't even leave without notice as you need a clean relieving letter.

Tough luck. But I doubt if there is anything short of criminal intemidation that will help

(Please do not try criminal intimidation, I am not suggesting it !)

Which is why my earlier post said that you need to look for alternate jobs. Both your current and future employers are inflexible.
