I was working in a toxic environment, which should be a separate post, too long to explain here, tldr, I was put in pip, and then I resigned and put my notice, I like a responsible employee started finishing off my projects and tasks, giving KTs to other folks and junior. but now after this my company is saying ur lwd is 2 days from now, when in my contract notice is 2 months, HR says company has the right to waive off notice period without paying severance. What can I do currently, I don't have any job back up, so have to be unemployed for a while without any severance. Is this legally right from company sides, what possible things can I do currently?
They are only paying for days I have worked till today, but cutting short my notice period, Basically bringing my notice period from 2 months to 5 days
As far as I know you’re entitled to two months salary in lieu of notice period. Nothing can be done besides having a lawyer sending a legal notice I guess
Second this
But if they don't respond to a notice, you'll have to take it into litigation, such can be costly and long drawn out
Or you can name and shame on social media
Or approach your local labour department

Remember companies also do not like to get in legal cases
If your contract states a 2 month notice period they are legally liable to pay you for the notice period. However if you are still on probation or if there is a term around the notice period not being applicable in case of separation due to performance issues, then they might not be liable. They might also trick you into sending a resignation email in which case they could claim that you requested the separation and they are allowing you to leave without serving the notice period. I would suggest consulting a lawyer and deciding the next course of action based on that. In most cases a simple email from a lawyer is enough to get them to clear your dues. Most companies will not want to be involved in a litigation and labor laws are usually in favor of the employee. Don't be afraid, get good legal opinion and do not hesitate to take appropriate legal action. One must stand up for themselves! All the best!
They’re not even paying notice period salary?
