Hi! I am working in a private company as an HR trainee. I have a query. There is an employee whose contract is ending on June 30, 2020, without any further extension. Should the employee be asked to serve a notice period? Kindly advise.

Hi SSR,

Strictly, there is no need to issue a notice of termination as the contract itself is coming to a close by 30th June. However, as a courtesy, there is nothing wrong in 'intimating' about the closure of the contract, mentioning that no extension is being considered. It should not sound like a 'Notice' or a notice period.

You need not ask him to serve notice period as the validity of his contract comes to a close on 30th June; it shall automatically be terminated. Notice period is required only in cases where the contract needs to be terminated before the actual expiry of the contract of services.

The question of 'Notice Period' arises when the contract includes a term to serve a 'Notice Period' and leaving prior to the end of the contract date. As a courtesy and a gesture of goodwill, inform the employee that his contract is ending on June 30, 2020, without any further extension due to the present situation, by calling him to the office.

If you want to dismiss staff or if your employee wants to resign, a period of notice should be given in both situations. There is a minimum period of notice that can be provided, along with rules to address any conflicts that may arise. Please read this article - https://rplg.co/71b89e00
