Legal actions from employer regarding unautorized absence

Pl. try to recollect were you given any documents pertaining to Service Bond etc. if yes then also they can't do anything, since you have not given your acknowledgement on the appointment letter of the company. The said company in your case can't bind you to govern with the provisions of Employment law until you have signed the AP.

So don't worry, sky is not going t o fall.  

Sir,

Thanks for your reply,i will post here if i get any further notice from them.once again thank you so much sir...

Regards

There is nothing new and it is age old tactics to level charge of having abstained/absconded/absented and effect termination in internal records.

You should not wait for legal notice and must reply to the emails/letter by letter thru Redg. post. 

The charge of unauthorized absence is apparently false, since you have sent resignation by email.

Hence deny to accept he charge and caution the company not to falsify the record and to confirm in writing to you that it has corrected the record and has withdrawn the charge of unauthorized absence.

Resignation can be without permission and notice.

The company can claim notice pay in lieu of notice period, if it is applicable in your case.

Such companies are covered by Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, Standing Orders………….

You may go thru:

---Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act :

Sec6A; ( Your lawyer may opine to Claim that company has violated this section and did not issue any appointment letter)

Sec;39; ( Your lawyer may opine to Claim that company has violated this section and notice period/pay is not applicable if period of service is < 6 months)

---Model Standing Orders; Sec13; Notice period during probation period is NIL.

If company wanted some exit formalities it should have replied to the email by letter/email etc……………

You may affirm that NO tasks were pending at your end, you had informed in office the reasons for separation ( as narrated and experienced by you) and had asked in office  to whom you should handover the charge, and NO company property was with you (if true) and NO exit formalities were communicated to you and hence nothing is pending to be done by you.

Thus leave NO room for the company to level any allegation of having caused any loss of any kind!   

The notice period does not depend upon T&C inserted by employer in appointment letter/private agreement drafted by employer and signed with employee, alone. This is part of service conditions that are governed by various enactments applicable to the establishment.

Moreover NO appointment letter was issued to you and you did not accept any T&C on notice period/pay.

You are not realising that the employee employer relationship has been established.

If no notice period is stated in offer letter then you may claim it is not applicable to you.

As per Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act too the notice period for service period <6 months=NIL.

The liquidated damages are not neccesserily to be paid on demand.

Approach your labor Law consultant and also Trade Unions like CITU,INTUC,AITUC,BMS..........................and lawful authorities mentioned above along with your elders in the family.................................

Dept. of labor Karnataka has maintained list of Labor officials, List of Trade Unions at its website:
