Hi everyone,
I've submitted a 30 days' notice letter to my current company, after 15days is completed during the notice period I received a response call from the HR.
Unfortunately, they rejected my resignation due to an unfinished employment contract that will end in October 2023 according to them and as per to them, the contract was automatically renewed that is why the company is asking to finish the contract before they can approve the transfer request.
I informed the new company that they rejected my resignation, and they told that:
any company don't have the right to stop anyone to resign from the company bec. it is clearly mentions as per Saudi Labor Law the notice period if anyone of the parties want to cancel it.
It is our right to resign and give them the notice period, otherwise you can go to the labor law office and inform them.
contact HR and inform them that you want to resign they do not have the right to stop otherwise I will go to labor office as per my contract with you.
I've been in my current company for 1 year and 4 months.
Please advise. Appreciate your time.
