How did you sign the offer to join in 2 months when your notice period is 3 months?Rdxx wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 1:31 amHi All,
I'm new here. Been going through all the posts. And thought , why not ask here
I'm currently working in SG on EP for an Indian based IT company. I have got an offer in a MNC and accepted the offer letter too(joining date in 2 months) and HR has initiated for EP last week. ( Waiting for IPA to submit resignation)
Well, the problem is this - My notice period is 3 months. And going by the current trend, I'm being told that whoever resigns is asked to travel back to India and serve the notice period.
Can I stay stubborn and tell my HR that I can't go back to India citing the Covid situation and I can serve notice period here. And then ask if he/she is OK for 2 months notice or even lesser.
Or if I have a medical condition which advises against travelling, will it help make the HR agree?
What other options do I have?(is there any?!)
I went throught the link.. but I'd be joined in new company as direct hire. Is it possible that my IPA itself could get rejected?the observer wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 7:18 amIn a nutshell, if you get your IPA, count your lucky stars. There’s a human behind doing approvals, and whenever a human is involved, so do errors
I've mentioned about my medical condition while applying for the new job. My problem is that my current employer will ask me to leave SG and serve my notice period in India.singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 10:13 amHow did you sign the offer to join in 2 months when your notice period is 3 months?Rdxx wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 1:31 amHi All,

Don't come up with medical conditions, just to work around some issues. The same medical condition should not cause some issues on getting you employed in the new job. Better to be open and honest and speak with the current HR.
If they want to, they can. Technically, they can, but not sure if they will. As most of them will try to be reasonable.Rdxx wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 11:00 amI've mentioned about my medical condition while applying for the new job.

I just wanted to know if my HR can still force me to go back, even after highlighting my medical condition.
Whether they can send him back to India (to finish the contract) I would expect some specific clause has to be included to his contract, if not, what would be the base?singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 11:03 amIf they want to, they can.

If they have already told him that his work may include some travel, then they can?x9200 wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 11:24 amWhether they can send him back to India (to finish the contract) I would expect some specific clause has to be included to his contract, if not, what would be the base?singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 11:03 amIf they want to, they can.

If deputation = intra corporate transferee, then the rules are clear.simple_guy wrote: ↑Sun, 11 Apr 2021 2:25 pmAs far as I know, in India 3 months notice period is common. For people who are working here on deputation; their company has put a special clause for them to serve the notice period in India so that it's not easy for them to switch.
Hope the OP shares his/her experience in the end.
