Resignation Notice Period After Deemed Confirmation – Need Advice
Hi.
I need some advice regarding a resignation notice during the probation period.
We have an employee who started work on 1 October 2024. Her contract states a 3-month probation, extendable up to 6 months depending on performance. It also mentions that:
Management may issue a written confirmation at any time during the probation if satisfied with her performance.
If no confirmation is given after 6 months, the employment is deemed automatically confirmed.
As of now, she has not received any written confirmation, but she submitted her resignation on 1 June 2025, giving 1 month’s notice.
According to the contract:
During probation: 1-month notice
After confirmation: 4-month notice
Since it’s already more than 6 months from her start date and no extension or confirmation was issued, would she be considered automatically confirmed and therefore required to give 4 months' notice?
