Resignation Law

Hi

I joined an IT company at a middle management level and with respect to my level, there was no probation period applicable i.e I was a confirmed employee from day 1. After working for about 7 months, I developed a kidney stone problem and was subsequently hospitalized for the same (company was aware of that). The stone was in the formation stage and could not be detected at that time. After about a month, I had another pain attack and was diagnosed with a 1 cm stone which had to be surgically removed. I flew back to my hometown for the surgery and a stent was inserted in the ureter. I was not allowed to travel and as per the doctor I have a tendency of forming recurring stones and will be an ongoing issue (was said over a verbal discussion with the doctor).

Considering the situation, I resigned from the company on 30th April 2011 seeking immediate relieving under medical circumstances. My appointment letter says
"Termination of Service: During your employment with the company, a notice of 60 days is required to terminate employment from either side. the company may terminate your employment by payment in lieu of 60 days notice, without assigning any reason whatsoever, at the sole discretion of the company. If at your request, the company agrees to relieve ypu before serving the full notice period, you will be liable to pay the company on lieu of the balance notice period. However, please note that accepting any such early relieving request would be entirely at the discretion of the company."

I have resigned via email marking my immediate manager and HR under medical circumstances and also have submitted my hospitalization reports to the corporate insurance provider. Also, I did send in the resignation by registered post attaching a copy of the email resignation.
After this the HR replied back to the email saying that I either need to serve the entire notice or pay it off to which I replied stating that I cannot stay in Chennai and not in a position to pay it off due to heavy medical expenses. I have not received any reply to it yet.

Now I want to know:
1. If I take up a job with another company near my hometown providing them the copy of the email resignation and the physical mail, would it turn out to be legitimate in background verification check. Can my previous company put me in absconding status and negate the verification?

2. Is there any law which governs this kind of situation and discourages companies to exploit employees under such circumstances.

3. I was hospitalized and submitted the claim for the same while I was still with the company, the insurance company has cleared the claim and issued a cheque which my company is refusing to provide to me. Can something be done about it?

Please help me with this. I have received a few offers with good companies but
am skeptical to join as not sure what would the verification turn out to be!!
Please Help

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Hi,

I was working on a private engineering firm as a service engineer on their kolkata office since may 2008 after 2 month i have get a better opportunity and i have given the resignation on that because that time I am in probation period and in this period i have resign from the company without any notice as per my appointment letter.

After resignation they didn't gave me release letter result of that I could not joined in my new company. Then I have urge to my existing company to rejoin to my work. They said to me to send a blank dtd. chaque of Amount Rs.50,000.00 with a letter that I will work here at least three years, if I unable to fulfill that they can encash the chaque. In those days my economic condition was very poor and lots of pressure had went my head. Hense i have sent the chaque with the letter in17th november 2008. After sumit the letter I had rejoined here but they didn,t issue my Appointment letter. Also they idn,t give any PF any medical facility. I was followup so much to my branch Head for medical facility or card but I didn,t receive. I was working mainly in OIL sector which place is very much hazardous and here working is very risky.

They didn't fulfill the commitment that and after ending my 6 month probation period, they didn't increase my salary and even after completion of 1 year also they didn't. In addition that so many harassment was there and I was felt totally uncomfortable and uneasy. I felt mentally sick and dull and I decided to leave this company any how.

In June 2010 I have joined in my recent company without submitting the resignation in my past company. After 2 month they had sent me a letter for rejoin immediately but I could not answered the letter. After that they didn't correspondence with me and I also didn't contact with them.

Now, suddenly when I have checked my account I saw they have dropped the chaque on 21/4/2011. Now I don,t have sufficient fund in my account. On 25/5/2011 I have received a Legal notice about the matter and for submit the security deposit of Rs.50000.00. It is very difficult to give the money for me. So, there I request to assist me to take a further action about the above matter.

Minimum wages act

Dear Sir,

Maharashtra government issued a document regarding minimum wages act to be applicable to the daily wages labour working in a specific type of work and in a specific factories like bidi factory, construction companies, etc. What rate should be made applicable to the educational institutes which is not mentioned in the act like educational institutes.Further the work content varries from sweepig to construction activity of very low level. Is it correct to say that the act is not applicable to these institutes as nothing is mentioned in the act and can form its own rules and decide the minimum wages to be paid to them.
