If an employee has 90 days notice period and wants to buy out 60 days - Can the employer deny the buyout?

Leave is not a right for employees not coming under the purview of the ID Act. However, if your employer is okay with that arrangement, he can permit you to get relieved in 30 days by adjusting your 60 days' leave against the notice period.

The employer has the discretion to accept or deny the buy-out option in toto or partially. Suggest approaching the employer with your offer.

This is for the employer: Once an employee submits their resignation, it is always better to release them as early as possible. The employee may influence others to leave, disrupt productivity, potentially engage in malicious activities like stealing customer data, and create bias against the employer in social circles. HR and management should swiftly find replacements by transferring staff from other departments or units and letting the employee go promptly. It is beneficial for the departing employee to leave with a positive mindset. In fact, I have also written articles on LinkedIn suggesting that a Farewell Kit be provided on the final day, including some goodies and a letter from the CEO wishing them good luck. However, these initiatives do not apply to employees leaving due to unethical behavior. Implementing such practices can significantly contribute to fostering a positive perception of the company.

Hi,
It depends on the roles and responsibilities of the resigned employee and availability of a replacement. If the roles and responsibilities are crucial for the operations of the organization, then obviously the employer will deny salary in lieu of the notice period.

Dear Kavya,
The applicable labor codes usually prescribe a notice period of 30 days. The purpose of the notice period is to ensure that there is no abrupt discontinuity of an assigned role or job in the organization, thus avoiding a negative impact on the business.
There is no way that the employer can force any employee to serve the full notice period. Therefore, it would be better if you handle it smoothly. I think 60 days is enough; therefore, you can allow them to buy the rest. The choice is yours.
