Dear Friends,
Need your expert guidance. I signed a 3 month employement contract with a company as a consultant. The company recruited me to work for another company in a third party's office. On the 3rd day I was asked to fill the employee joining form of the second company. I worked for one month and got my salary. After 1 month and 4 days I had to leave the job due to a personal emergency. I informed all the concerned people and even the company who recrutied me that I will not be able to return back to work by telephone and sms.
After I left the company the company who recruited me is calling me repeatedly and asking me to come back to work. I have been telling them that I cannot come back due to personal reasons. Today the recruiter called me and demanded that I should pay them money for leaving the job without serving the notice period. He threatened me that he will go ahead with the absconding proceedings against me and go to the court.
I believe and understand that as a consultant I can stop working if I find that things are not going good for me. I have informed them that I will not be reporting back to work. Though this is not a permanent employment I am surprised by the kind of abuse that I am facing from my recruiter.
Please guide me how to handle this issue.
Regards,
Dharam
