How it's calculated
- For notice in days: last working day = resignation date + number of days − 1, if resignation day is counted as day 1. Else, it's resignation date + number of days. One week equals 7 days.
- For notice in months: add months to resignation date (1 October + 1 month = 1 November), subtract one day if resignation day is day 1 (31 October). If the day doesn't exist next month, use the last day first: 31 January + 1 month = 28 February (29 in leap year), so last day is 27 February.
- Calendar days: include every day, weekends and holidays.
- Buyout ≈ monthly pay ÷ 30 × days you exit early, minus any leave days set off by your employer.
In India, notice periods come from your offer or appointment letter and employer's HR policy. Indian offer letters often state 30 to 90 days. Employers may allow a buyout or early release but aren't required to; get any agreement in writing.
