I’ve been working in a company for 3 years and have decided to resign. I have given the 3-month notice as per law. My employer told me that they’re pulling my resignation and that I have to continue working until a replacement arrives. Do they have the right to hold me?

Answer: No, you don’t have to wait for a replacement. You have given the company ample time — 3 months — to make the arrangement. So, if the company tries to drag the issue, you can file a case with the Labor Dept in your area.
