Need suggestion for the following:
I worked in an Indian MNC (Non IT) in a Management Trainee position for 9 months. I was hardly provided with any work for the first 6 months despite repeated requests and pleadings. Then I was transferred to the HQ as a "reward" for my pleadings and was further assigned for some academic/useless project just to keep me occupied. I served here for 3 months when ultimately I contracted malaria and went on leave.
I received no acknowledgement for my leave application from the company for the next 1.5 months and by then I had contracted jaundice. I was extremely frustrated with this attitude and coupled with my poor health, I resigned. I received first response from the company after 12 days of my resignation where the HR asked me to either come back or pay 90 days salary as settlement. As I was sick and saw no point in risking my health for them, i did not go back. i sent in my medical certificate and requested them to approve my resignation since they don't have work for me in first place and I am not willing to take a health risk. post which I received several calls where I made my point clear and the HR refused to budge from his 3-months payment stance.
Post which he called up my parents. I wrote the entire thing in detail and forwarded it to the senior HR. Post which I got the call from this HR and where he threatened me in the language of a street thug. The senior HR immediately got in touch when I complained again with the recording of the call. But very conveniently refuses to move from 3 month's notice amt. payment or 3 month's service.
I don't want to to go to that office again and want to get this matter resolved soon. Also the 3 months' amount is huge which I can't afford to pay now(Rs 1.5l). I am willing to pay for a month at the max. What is the legal recourse? Will I be forced to pay?
