Resigned Within A Week – Need Advice On Notice Period And Asset Return

Card image cap

Hi everyone,

I recently joined a company and worked there for about a week. Due to personal reasons, I decided to resign shortly after joining and informed them accordingly.

Location: India The offer mentions a 90-day notice period, and I understand that in general cases it is applicable. However, I am unsure how it is typically handled when the tenure is extremely short (around a week).

Another concern is regarding company assets. I have been trying to return the company laptop and have already informed them via email that I am ready to hand it over immediately. However, I was told that it can only be submitted after completion of the notice period.

I want to make sure I handle this situation properly and responsibly.

I would really appreciate guidance on the following:

  1. How is notice period usually treated in such short-tenure scenarios?
  2. What is the safest way to return company assets if there is a delay or dependency from the employer’s side?
  3. How should one generally handle exit formalities to avoid any future issues?

If anyone has gone through a similar situation or has knowledge about standard practices, your advice would really help.

Thanks in advance.
