Yes they can take up action agaisnt though no bind was signed but at time of appointment they you have agreed to above terms on which your appointment was made and notice period is necessary condition, if otherwise was the case that you have been not served a notice period than you can also claim same from that so yes you have to fulfil terms of agreement and to avoid future hassels have to pay one.month salary to them as agreed otherwise they can file a suit of breach of agreement and specific performance on which they can claim.legal charges too.

So it is advised to pay because in case they file suit you will incure legal charges and court can order to pay as the agreement is binding.

Though on interst part you can give a reply to notice stating that is not legally charged as no intention from side of employer was received so you can bargain same.

Yes they can

Immediately send a reply to the legal notice, so that if in case they file a case against you, you have a valid defence to show that you were vigilant enough to prove your stance in the reply.

Dear Concern,

That law that is applicable is The Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1958 and that demand only seven days notice to be served by you and not more than the relevant section is section 23.

Notice by employee. -- (1) No employee, who has been in the service of the employer continuously for a period of three months shall terminate his employment unless he has given to his employer seven days previous notice or pay in lieu thereof.

(2) Where an employee contravenes the provisions of sub-section (1) his employer may forfeit his unpaid wages for a period not exceeding seven days.

So from the above mention law it is clear that you have to pay maximum of 7 Days payment , however you should send notice to your employer as you have enough materail and interrupt they will pay you money or they will not harsh you .

So my advice to send legal notice to them for harashmnet .

you are bound to serve one month notice period as per terms of your appointment letter

2) since you have failed to do so company can sue you to recover one month salary

3) better pay one month salary as per the legal notice issued to you

1. It has to be seen whether indeed in the appointment letter there was any notice period of 30 days mentioned or not.

2. If yes then you are stipulated to do so.

3. However this clause has no rigid applicability and in certain conditions like non cooperation or hostile working environment or harrassive attitude of management you can escape from clutch of this clause.

4. So taking recourse to such condition you should reply to the notice and highlight their highhandedness forcing you finally quit the company without serving notice period.

5. You may not take this notice with much seriousness as mostly the employers do not file civil suit to recover this money as pursuing litigation involves more expenses and span of time.

Dear Sir,

I am dealing with similar cases. You may see the following.

The present era is experiencing phenomenal changes in the economy and industrial processes, which has resulted in greater business competition. To cope up with competition, the employers incur huge expenditure in imparting training to their employees for improving the quality of goods and services of the company. However, sometimes the employees leave their employment after honing the skills & improving the knowledge of the industry for better salary and incentives. The increasing rate of attrition subjects the employers not only to financial losses but also delays in completing the ongoing projects thereby directly impacting their goodwill & reputation in the market. Therefore, in order to safeguard their interest, employers have of late started to obtain an employment bond from their employees who are found suitable for training or skill development. Such employment bonds are agreements between the employer and employee wherein among other terms & conditions of the employment, an additional clause is incorporated which requires the employee to serve the employer compulsorily for a specific time period else refund the amount specified as bond value.

Yes, you are in breach of appointment condditions for not providing the notice of resignation through your resignation letter. The bond is a common practice to retain the employee for longer period and you agreed to sign the bond at the time of appointment and you have agreed for.

The company in case of non reply/payment may go to the court for recovery of money.

Hello ,

Yes there is a violation of contract on your part . You were required to serve the notice period .

Regards.

This is just a legal notice issues by your company to threaten you.

Have you signed any employment offer letter having this condition?

If there was any condition then you may have to be careful because they may file a money recovery suit which can of course be challenged on merits.

Now you have to give a reply notice through your advocate denying all the allegations made in the notice.
