Subject - Resigned from the company giving no notice
Hi,
I had been working in a consultant company for 3 months in the appointment letter is mentioned the clause that i need to serve a 1 month notice period before resignation.
Now due to some personal issues i have resigned from the company giving no notice, but i have sent them a resignation letter. They are asking me to pay back my 1 month salary inspite of working there till the end of the month and later repeated reminders regarding the salary. I am currently not employed anywhere else.
Can I do something regarding this.
Please hlep me

You need to check the separation policy of your firm as in their hr manual and in your appointment letter.
Is there a statement like this -
"The employment can be terminated from either side by giving one month's notice or salary in lieu of it"
If this is mentioned, the reason they are asking you to pay your one month's salary is because you are not willing to serve 30 days notice as per the agreement (appointment letter)
If nothing like this is mention, ask you HR as to why are they asking you to pay you one month's salary.
Possibly they may say that this is the salary in lieu of the notice.
If nothing like this is mentioned in your appointment letter and even in your HR Manual, you may question.
However I doubt the futility of it.

Dear Anonymous,
3 months is what you said is the tenure with that company. Then how many months was the probation?
Sent them resignation - means?
- If you emailed your resignation during the probation period you may not have to worry on the notice period or pay in lieu thereof.
- If you were confirmed in services with the company you should have provided the resignation letter in person stating your emergency exit, they would have definitely waived off the NP.
- You could respond to the reminder sent to you, asking for the reason as to why an amount should be paid to the employer if your probation wasn't over. If you still are an confirmed employee you may then speak to the HR; provided you still are looking for a releiving with the employer.
Speaking always clarifies biggest misunderstandings of all. Hence, step forward to say your piece and make a stand. Do also let us know about your next step, it might help the rest of our cite members who fall under the same ambush.
Good Luck!

It is sad that we, as employees, do not observe the basic corporate courtesies. Please remember that we are obliged to give , at least, one month’s notice or pay in lieu because of the following two important facts :
1. The organisation would have invested some resources, in terms of time cost of ads etc, before hiring you. They deserve to be compensated for the wasted efforts.
2. They will need to find someone to take over from you ( whether from within or outside ) This also will need some time
Also remember that it is a small world, you may find yourself face to face with one of the persons you short changed, as member of an interview panel you may face in the future. Do you think the person would give a positive feedback about you?

if company is good or strong then pay back and get settled.
if it's a road side HR consultancy, it'll be waste of time talking to them, because they want to make people work for you at very less price.
My recommendation is keep silent, even if it goes to court also you can say due to xyz reason i left job, now don't have money to pay back and kindly pls give me atleast 10 years time to pay back.
