How it's calculated
- Notice in days: last working day = resignation date + number of days − 1, counting the resignation date as day 1. Otherwise, it is resignation date + number of days. A week equals 7 days.
- Notice in months: add months to the resignation date (1 October + 1 month = 1 November), then subtract one day when the resignation date counts as day 1 (31 October). If that date is missing in the next month, use the last day of that month first: 31 January + 1 month = 28 February (29 in leap year), so the last day is 27 February.
- Calendar days include every day, counting weekends and holidays.
- Buyout ≈ monthly pay ÷ 30 × days left early, minus any leave days your employer allows as set off.
In India, your offer or appointment letter and your employer's HR policy determine the notice period. Indian offer letters typically state notice periods of 30 to 90 days. Employers might accept a buyout or an early release, but they aren't obligated to; ensure any agreement is written.
