Can employer terminate you before your resignation notice is over?
Member
Hi,
I would like to know if I tender my resignation notice (3 months) to my employer, can he terminate me before the actual resignation date without any compensation? I've just received a show cause letter from them regarding an incident where I have dispute with another colleague 4 months ago. Is it justified for them to terminate me without compensation based on this reason?
Thanks in advance.

They can terminate your service without notice or payment of indemnity in lieu if you have committed misconduct during the notice period. Otherwise, you can complain to either the Labour Department or the Industrial Relations Department.

You mentioned misconduct during notice period, how about "misconduct" (which I don't think it is) 4 months ago? It's supposedly settled but suddenly they bring up the issue again and demand a show cause letter.

There is nothing to stop them from doing that if they wanted to do so.

Ok, thank you for your information.
