In this paper, we discuss the notice period trends in Indian IT industry and study its positive and negative consequences for the employer and employees. We collected details of various factors related to the three month notice period from multiple angles. Since Indian IT organisations follow no standard notice period, it is important to understand what could be an acceptable notice period for both employees and employer. We analyse inputs received from 52 respondents and interpret them to understand the contemporary scenario in the IT industry. Finally, we suggest possible ways to come up with a standard notice period across IT industry.
