We would like to share legal knowledge here that Notice Period should be served as per the Employment Contract. The employee is paid for this time period as well. If the Employer does not want an employee to come to the office/factory or to work then still he has to pay him for the Notice Period. If both parties are willing that neither employee will work nor employer will pay, then it should be given a written shape, so either party could not take legal action.
