Hi -
We had a division of our company that we had to close. All employees were fired on 7 days notice and that's what is mentioned in the Employment terms too that they will be given a 7 days notice period.
We asked some of them to stay for another week (even though half of the staff was gone), so that they can wrap up the work they had to do.... and some chose not to.
So, we kind of with help the salary for of about 7 days for few of them and hope we would release them later.
Now, one of them sent over a legal notice from a lawyer for that 7 days salary and saying that we have to pay 3 months salary or legal action will be taken.
What rights do i have as a employeer?
