I was working with a firm at customer site for more than 3 years. On july 31st, my firms contract with customer ended. On 1st august,employer asked me to join other unit near to same city (which is manufacturing unit; different from my previous job) .
On 2nd september, employer asked me to join site at outstation for 15 days ( actually he wanted me to go permananently). I refused to join the same & resigned stating the same reason.
Employer sent an e-mail accepting my resignation but asked to serve notice period for 1 month at outstation. I replied that i given resignation bcoz i can't go outstation,however I will serve notice period where i was working from last month. He didn't reply. I met personally & urged to him. He refused, said he has no my kind work here & asked to join outstation only.
Since then, i not join site or office.Employer hold my salary for August.
Since my joining & before also, I always refused to go outstations due to my personal problems & he never taken any action.
I have not signed appointment letter. Notice period was "understood".
Can employer ask me to serve notice period at outstation site where i have not taken any charge.
can he hold salary for notice period though i was ready to serve at current location?
what can i do?
