Hi everyone,


I recently accepted a job offer with a new company and resigned from my current position. Medical checks and background checks are complete. However, the new company is now asking me to shorten my notice period.


I informed them during the interview that I might be able to shorten my notice, but it would require approval from my current manager. Unfortunately, I just learned my current employer wants monetary compensation for early release.


I'm concerned about the following:

• Could the new company rescind my offer if I can't shorten my notice period?
• What steps can I take to protect myself in this situation?
• Do I have any leverage to negotiate with my current employer?
• What are some potential risks and solutions to consider?

I'm grateful for any insights or advice from anyone who has faced a similar situation. Please share your experiences and any helpful information you can offer.


Additional information:

• All communication with both companies has been via email.
• I have a copy of the signed offer letter from the new company.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I know how exactly u feel esp now when year end and the interview process delay due to everyone on leave =(

whilst some give the generic response 1-2 weeks for the decision time-line
the cliff hanger for the outcome (i.e yes or no) is really mind draining.

the new company is asking and you already asked but was rejected. just reply to the new company that your manager has refuse to shorten the period and rejected your request. That should be adequate.

Normally companies doesnt rescind offer because of this. if they really need you in earlier, then they will propose a buyout of partial of your notice period. If they doesnt offer buyout but still insist that you need to join earlier, stand your ground and tell them that according to your employment contract with your current company, you are not able to do so without monetary compensation and ask the new company if they are willing to buyout. This should end the conversation.

Nothing you can do to protect yourself at this juncture. just go with the flow. Unless you have a good relationship with your current employer, else you do not have much leverage to negotiate.

Potential risk and solutions that can be consider as a last resort, if you have some annual leave that are to be encashed, use it to shorten your notice period. this is not what i will like to recommend for the candidate as it is still impacting the candidate negatively but that will be the last resort aside from paying cash to buyout your own notice period.

[dango_daikazoku]

why does HR of new company ask for payslip for the past 3 mths ?

Ya lor. When you are employee of their company, that information is P&C. But if you are interviewing with them, then the same information is "hello we need to have that, if you don't give then too bad, bye bye!"
