You cannot be forced to serve notice period
7697671219
Even though companies across the world are coming up with people's friendly policies, there is always a small section of employees who like to take  advantage of the same. Often employees leave organizations without serving notice in the lure of better chances elsewhere. But this is only a short term advantage. Barring some countries, most good organizations require a ”service or relieving certificate” as proof of employment.

The signed and  stamped ” Letter of Appointment” between an employer and employee is a legally valid document in the court of law. If an appointment letter clearly spells out the conditions of termination and notice, and the employee signs the document, then he/she must abide by the terms. However, most organizations have a condition of ”lieu of”. Typically the notice period can be waived ”in lieu of” pay deduction. And most employees exercise that option by negotiating the difference with the other organization. There are always exceptions but no ethical  organization can force an employee to serve the notice unless there is a pressing business need or ”notice pay” refusal from employee or monetary advances provided to the employee.
