HI,
I worked with my ex company for 4 years, during these years, they didnt promote, paid me less salary and there was a lot of politics. which I am okay with, recently I got an offer from another company, I served two weeks of my resignation.
Ideally the notice is 30 days, but as per my offer letter I am entitled to leave early pay the remainder compensation as a buy out. My resignation was accepted, but the company did not conduct my exit interview, they wanted me to pay them for a USA trip. I was shocked. I asked them why as this was a business trip. they then said that they want me pay to collect my relieveing documents and my offer letter. I told them that i did not sign a bond or a contract regarding me paying for the USA trip and not to play games and give me what is rightfully mine.
They later sent me a relieveing notice stating I was terminated, since I was absconding. I never absconded, when I asked, the HR told me that they stated absconding only because i didnt serve two weeks and in their book of law its considered absconding. This is not fair, can someone please help me out?
Shall I take legal action against them? How much will it cost me and how long will it take for me to get my relieveing documents? Please advise?
regards,
A
