Notice Period Chaos

I had a chance to read Gatuam's Blog on Notice Period issues. This is one point where different companies have different policies. I have heard of notice period upto 3 months :) It might sound quite weird to somebody who is not from India, but must say that this is quite possible.

I do understand Rashmi's point here, but i am still wondering why will any HR guy talk with respect to numbers. This is ridiculous, if it is true!

My thoughts are as under :-

Any policy with regards to Notice period has to be standard and efficiently practiced. The notice period could be a month, 15 days or even a week. The policy should be designed keeping in mind the nature of the industry. As an employer, as Gautam quoted "Of course, the employer is free to fire you without a day's notice too."

I still feel that Employers should practice notice periods but I surely think that it should be around 15 days.

PS - I just served a 2 months notice period and i must say for those of you who haven't experienced this, it is No Joke :)

Let me know what you think should be the right notice period.
