Notice Period

Yes the employee should  leave the premise immediately after resignation.

well resignation creates negative energy and which is not good  for the comany. It might create confusions, fear in other emplyee's mind. If the resignation is due to an bad experience in the  company such emplyee might cause harm to the company physically, emnotionally or relatively

He should be relieved after completion of necessary formalities as his enthu level of work will be down after putting up papers.

The situation here is absurd..i dont think any project in any company will have just one person who is good.....and there will be a Knowledge bank for every project that will give the new person quite a bit to learn, also there would be others in the project who can train and help the new person cope....no company would have a project running entirely on the capabilities of just one person....in any case the person who is leaving is going to focus on other activities (more personal as the days go by in his notice period) rather than continuing agressively on the project that was working on during his notice period, which would also hamper the project....u rather have a new hand who wants to work dedicatively and spend extra time in learning rather than someone who is not interested anymore......

I have seen from experience that peopleonce they have made up their mind to leave, keeping them back to serve their notice period is as good as inviting bad/negative influence to spread to the others in the team. They will crib and makean issue out of everything that is happening and that might just work on the others which would result in more minds/people getting negative.The best thing is to see to it that he completes his formalities and is relieved within 10 days to 2 weeks max.

Notice period is a must coz it would help company take over someone's work & in the meanwhile could look from someone who could takeover his work understand every bit of his work.

I agreed with Mr. Mehernath. He/She must be relieved immediately.

Absolutely right Mr.Upendra Sagar, everything about the notice period has been mentioned int he contract which both parties have to follow. Organization can relieve him without a notice period if they think so.

But most of the organisation strictly follow what the contract says..

Yes, he should be relived after completion of the employer formalities.

He should be releived by the companies at the earliest after handing over the charge to another nominated person.

However in regard to the prior notice and reliving the associate will be specifically mentioned in the terms and condition of the Appointment Letter of the Associate. The Appointment Letter is the basic funda to follow both parties (i.e. Employer and Employee). But in practical point of view, reliving the associate is again depended upon his nature of the work he is handling/monitoring/dealing etc., in the organization. As such depending upon the above nature of work and circumstances, he can relived, may be soon or according to the terms and conditions.

In my opinion, companies should not insist for more than 15 days notice period and the choice should be given to the employees. In case they need more time to complete the current task, set an upper limit for maximum days they can spend in office after resignation.

Otherwise it is a waste of productivity since the employee will be in a relaxed mood to somehow complete the notice period which will only add over head to the company.

yes definetly he or she must be relieved ...ASAP

once we are done with the formalities like Knowledge transfer and finding a replacement, we can relieve the associate.
