Can an employer hold an employee to 90 day notice period? - Employment
Full Question:
Answer:
This would be a matter for negotiation and since it is in the contract it is probably valid. A question would be what does the contract say about breach. i.e. if you leave without giving notice what are the ramifications or damages you could be responsible for? Notice provisions are not that rare but the ramifications of failure to comply are usually not clear. Notice is usually required due to the harm the company would suffer if a needed staff member left before they could find a replacement.
There are laws in some states where an employer has to provide pay or notice prior to termination under certain conditions. There could be something similar for the reverse in New York but I am not aware of it.
