Notice period buyout


As per organizational rules, if an employee wants to leave their job, they have to tender their resignation and serve a notice period. The notice period is typically of 30 to 90 days. If any employee wants to leave their job earlier than the required notice period, they can opt for a notice period buyout. This is a process wherein the employer agrees to waive or shorten the required notice period for the employee's resignation or termination, in exchange for payment or compensation from the employee. The payment amount is determined based on the employee's salary, position and the remaining days of the notice period. 


The notice period buyout is usually negotiated and included in the employment agreement or contract. Sometimes, when the employee chooses to join a new organization, the notice period buyout amount is reimbursed by the new employer.
