1. Introduction and Purpose
At Third Eyed Consulting Services, we understand that career transitions are a normal part of professional life. This policy outlines the procedures for employee separation—whether through resignation or termination—to ensure a seamless transition of client responsibilities, protection of firm data, and a smooth administrative offboarding process.
2. Notice Period Requirements
To ensure uninterrupted service to our clients, employees are required to serve a mandatory notice period upon resignation.
- Standard Notice Period: All full-time employees and consultants must serve a minimum notice period of thirty (30) days (or as explicitly specified in their employment contract) from the date of formal resignation.
- Submission: Resignations must be submitted formally through the designated workflow in the
teams.thirdeyed.inportal. - Leave During Notice: Taking privilege or casual leave during the notice period is generally not permitted and is subject to strict management approval based on handover requirements.
3. Client Handover and Knowledge Transfer (KT)
The primary focus during the notice period is the secure and complete transition of client deliverables.
- Departing employees must prepare a comprehensive handover document detailing project statuses, pending compliance deadlines, and client communication histories.
- Employees must conduct formal Knowledge Transfer (KT) sessions with their designated replacements or reporting managers.
- Failure to execute a proper handover may result in the withholding of final clearance and settlement.
4. Return of Firm Assets and IT Offboarding
Before the final day of employment, the departing team member must complete the IT clearance process:
- Return of Hardware: All physical assets, including firm-issued laptops, hard drives, access cards, and physical client files, must be returned in good working condition.
- Access Revocation: On the final working day, all access to
thirdeyed.in,services.thirdeyed.in,teams.thirdeyed.in, firm emails, and third-party software will be permanently revoked. - Data Integrity: Employees are strictly prohibited from mass-downloading, deleting, or forwarding any firm or client data to personal accounts prior to departure.
5. Post-Employment Obligations
Separation from the firm does not dissolve an individual’s legal and ethical obligations to Third Eyed Consulting Services and its clients.
- Confidentiality: The Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Client Confidentiality policies remain in full effect indefinitely. Former employees must never use or share proprietary firm methodologies or client data.
- Non-Solicitation: Former employees are prohibited from soliciting, poaching, or attempting to divert clients, vendors, or current employees away from Third Eyed Consulting Services for a period specified in their initial employment contract.
6. Full and Final (FnF) Settlement
- The Full and Final settlement—including pending salaries, encashment of eligible leaves, and reimbursements—will be processed within 45 days following the employee’s last working day, provided all handover and clearance protocols have been successfully completed.
- Any outstanding dues owed to the firm (e.g., unserved notice period penalties, unreturned assets) will be deducted from the final settlement.
7. Termination of Employment
The firm reserves the right to terminate employment immediately, without notice or severance, in cases of severe disciplinary breaches. These include, but are not limited to:
- Violation of the Code of Conduct or Client Confidentiality Policy.
- Fraud, financial misconduct, or falsification of records.
- Job abandonment (unauthorized absence exceeding three consecutive days).
