Employee Resignation Notice Period Extension Letter format

Employees are required to serve notice period at the time of their resignation from the position they are holding in an organisation. The notice period is generally between 1 to 3 months as mentioned and agreed under the employment contract (appointment letter).

However, in some cases, when an employee serves a resignation notice, if the services of the employee is urgently needed for a few more days or months until the ongoing project is over or until his replacement is appointed, then the company may request the employee to stay for an extended period of time. If it is feasible to the employee, he may agree to it.

If the employee agrees to it, then the employer will issue a confirmation letter/ email towards the extension of notice period on the resignation.
