Hi,
I was working for a private firm and I took sabbatical for 6 months to join my wife in US from October 2011. I was not paid during my sabbatical. My Sabbatical ended on May 2012 and due to personal reason I could not resume my work back in June 1st 2012. I got an email from the HR as an abscondee notification and after serious discussion I decided to resign. I resigned from my position on May 31st 2012. Now to proceed with the exit procedure they are asking me to pay a 3 months notice period shortfall amount.
1) What would be the legal implications of not paying the amount.
2) Since I was on LOP, does that count as a notice period
