It company absconding case legal action

Hi,

I Joined an IT Company on 5th and I got another best offer and I left the first company without any notice on 13th March. My manager called me on 14th and I said him that I cant resume my service.

After this incident, the HR person keep on calling me and I never picked any call. They e-mailed me regarding my unauthorized leave and I replied them that I am unwell and cant resume my service. They asked for the medical documents and I never replied to that e-mail. Finally on 23 March they logged an Involuntary Exit in their system.

 

Now, after 2 Months I got an Acknowledgement letter from them. It says,

 

Hi,

As per our record, an amount of RS. 60,000 needs to be recovered from you. Please send a DD in favor of XYZ to below address.

 

Thanks,

ABC

 

* I never signed any Service Bond on the date of joining.

* My Basic Salary was 27,000 and as per policy, if I leave in provision period (within 3 Months) I need to pay 1 Months basic salary and after that if I leave then I need to pay 2 Months basic salary.

* I Dont want any service certificate or experience letter from this company.

1) Why in the letter No Break-up is written?

2) What if I ignore this letter?

3) What legal action an IT company can take if the employee stay absconding and doesn't pay the notice period amount?

4) If this compamy asking money for notice period, then why it didnt paid me for the 10 days that I went there.

 

 

Please suggest me what should I do.

 

Thanks.

Dear Querist,

 

This is just an empty threat – you are not liable to pay anything more than 1 month salary to them, in default of which they can file a civil suit for recovery against you. This legal notice should be replied to, otherwise it’s contents may clinge to you. Make an offer to pay 1 month salary lawfully due to them as F & F

If you have decided to pay you may first ask to supply the FNF statement in writing.If FNF statemnent is erratic, you can point out the errors and reject to accept the erratic FNF statement.You must also negotiate to supply you the work experience/service certificate, relieving letter with no adverse comment.No adverse noting in your personnel file hence no negative feedback in case of reference check etc.

The HR which is asking Rs.60000/- has to explain how this amount is calaculated as due towards you.

Notice period seems to be 1 month.Notice pay is @ basic pay. Basic pay is Rs.27000/pm.Salary for 10 days of service is to be disbursed.

If you have to pay then you must obtain everything that is rightfully yours.

@Yash,

Kindly start a new thread always.

Has the company issued appointment letter to you? What is mentioned in the notice period, notice pay, termination clause?

You have been in the company for 6 days.

It is felt that if you were recruited as a trainee there should be no notice period.

If you were on probation period 3 month's notice period is not reasonable.

You should mention the reasons for leaving the company in your resignation letter and narrate your experience and verbal resignation communicated to company.

You may submit a letter to this effect and put the date of verbal resignation and send it by redg. post addressed to your appointing authority.

You may send a follow up email.

You should demand correct FNF statement and affirm to pay as per correct FNF statement.

Refer to SE act applicable to your state.

SE Act for Delhi is enclosed.Read Notice of Dissmissal.
