Document background
The Notice Period Letter is a crucial document in Indian employment relationships, required whenever an employee or employer wishes to terminate employment. It serves as formal documentation of the intention to end employment and must comply with Indian labor laws, including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act and state-specific regulations. The letter typically includes essential information such as the notice period duration (as per employment contract), last working day, handover requirements, and exit procedures. It's used across all organizational levels and industries, ensuring a smooth transition while protecting both parties' interests. The document becomes particularly important in Indian jurisdiction where notice periods are typically longer than in many other countries and are strictly enforced.
