Typically 1 month notice period if leaving the company voluntarily.
During the notice period, the employee is expected to serve full working days unless a buyout/waiver is mutually agreed.
For Mid-level / Experienced Employees:
Standard notice period is 2 to 3 months depending on your designation, employment contract, and project requirements.
Technical leads, project managers, or critical delivery roles may have longer notice periods due to project continuity needs.
Probation Period Employees:
Employees on probation usually have shorter notice periods (1 month or sometimes less), both for leaving and termination.
2. Notice Period Buyout / Waiver
Hexaware allows notice period buyouts in some cases:
If an employee receives an offer from another company and wants to join earlier, Hexaware may allow them to pay compensation equivalent to the remaining notice period.
Approval of buyout depends on manager/HR approval and project criticality.
3. Exit Procedure During Notice Period
Handover of Work: Employees must complete handover of assigned tasks/projects to a replacement or manager.
Clearances: IT assets, documentation, and project credentials need to be returned.
Final Settlement: Salary for the notice period, leave encashment, bonus (if applicable), and other pending payments are calculated at the end of the notice period.
4. Impact on Resignation
Resignation should be submitted in writing to the HR manager and reporting manager.
Serving the full notice period is generally mandatory, unless a mutual agreement is reached.
Leaving without serving the notice period or without a waiver may result in deduction of salary or penalties according to company policy.

Fresher / GET employees: 1 month notice
Experienced employees: 2–3 months notice (sometimes more for senior roles)
Probation employees: Typically 1 month or less
