Dear Experts,

I have absconded from a mnc employer after 15 days service without informing my HR and manager. I am a lateral employee.
As they have put me in lower level team where my knowledge will be downgrade and i will not learn new techniques and my skill set not matching with offered team level.
Meanwhile a mnc employer offered me a job with good work project and designation and with good salary package too.
They want immediate joiner so i have to abscond from my current job.
But good thing is that i have not hide anything about my current job from my offering company's HR recruiter and he is aware all about this.
However when i checked EPF account i can see employer name from where i am absconded.
So based on above information please answer my below points.
1. On 30th apr i will receive my 15 day salary as well as 15k joining bonus from company, so will they try to recover this amount from me?
2. As mentioned above only my recruiter knows as i have shared about my absconded termination verbally, so if in case any other person from HR team or any other team will get to know that i have absconded( may be from EPF portal as i have shared UAN number with both the companies), will there be any chances of job loss in my newly joined company?
3. I have planned stop going office from 1st may after receiving my 15 day salary, so will i need to answer the call from my manager or reply to his mails or text messages if any,
Or i can simply ignore my manager or HR spocs.

You are lucky when you are still out of jail and got another job; wherein "new" employer is stated to be aware of your being "absconder" from previous employment without relieving.
Consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant documents for better appreciation of facts, guidance and proceeding.
