Notice Period - MOM guidelines

[MohammedNiyaz]

Hello All, In my contract stated as 8 weeks notice period . But i can able to serve only 4 weeks notice period. In this case , i can choose compensation lieu of notice ? For this employer also need to agree or its only employee can choose this decision...
And also do i need to pay full amount for 8 weeks or only for remaining 4 weeks.

Please advice . Thanks a lot.

In Singapore it has to work both ways. If they can pay your off with salary in lieu, then you also can pay them off with salary in lieu. Two-way street.

Thanks for your reply. But my employer also need to agree ? Or i can tell them directly as i cannot complete notice period so i am choosing compensation of salary in lieu .

If they let you go by paying YOU salary in lieu of notice from them (they paying you off), do you think they need your approval to do so? As I said before, it's a two-way street.
