company asks you to leave, are you expected to work in the notice period?

here is a question, with the current layoff situation peaking cross places, in the eventuality that a company decides to let you go, is it their benovalence that they expect you to not work in your notice period or is it that they are obligated to do so?

to add context: 1 they ask you to put in your papers 2. they also offer you to continue post notice on contract (but you are obviously bumped enough to not work there!)

what is it that one can do to get off the work from day 1 of notice period?

look forward to your input here....

ps: I am hoping they are obligated but then on paper, they ask you to resign!

If a company lays you off, they don't ask you to serve the notice period. They pay you the notice period salary and your last date is usually the same date.

oh okay. is this usually an understanding or this is how it is supposed to be by rule?

I wasn't aware. so both the payout date and lwd will be 2months (the duration of NP).

interestingly they are also likely to ask me to continue to work on contract, since they do need my work but a reduced cost.

Lwd is the date they laid off. Payout date is usually the month end but this may vary. This is for people who are completely being let go, in your case since the company is asking you to work on a contractual basis things might be different

Why stop at zero work? Do negative work in your notice period. Your NP will be over before it begins /s

When you resign from your job, and have like for example 15 paid leaves that you haven't utilized, is the company obligated to encash those leave or use those leaves to release an employee early?

My company is delaying acceptance to my resignation

The company haven’t paid us 3-6months of salary saying that there’s a delay in raising VC funds. They also didn’t pay TDS and gave us Form 16 for ITR.

Acceptance of resignation has no value, the day you resigned is considered for notice period start date.

Just leave tomorrow if it's too bad. They haven't paid you salary for 6 months, ffs.
