Hi All,

I have a similar problem. I joined an IT company but left the job within 4 days of joining due to some personal issues. I submitted my resignation to my manager and the company HR, stating that I needed to leave for my hometown because of personal problems. After 3 months, they sent the full and final settlement, asking me to pay 1.5 lakhs for not serving a 3-month notice period.

My offer letter states that I would be on probation for the first 6 months but did not mention any notice period during probation. However, it also mentions that I have to serve a notice period of 3 months.

I am unsure if the company can demand 3 months' salary in lieu of the notice period during the probation period since I was on probation for the first 6 months. I have read that during probation, the notice period should be less than 1 month.

Please advise on what steps I should take in this situation. The company has sent a letter stating that if I do not pay the amount, they will take legal action against me.

Thanks,
Rakesh

Hi, I worked as a sales manager in the automobile industry in Delhi NCR. I resigned from the job without serving any notice period and joined the competitor within a week. In my appointment letter, it is mentioned that I need to serve a 90-day notice period, and if I don't, then I have to pay 30% of my annual remuneration. Can my employer take legal action against me?

Hi,

I joined an organization on 26th Feb 2015 and discontinued my service on 20th July 2015. Due to the rotational nature of my shift, I had to leave to pursue further education. I was unable to serve the 15-day notice period required. Consequently, the organization processed my full and final settlement but demanded compensation for the incomplete notice period. They have also engaged a law firm in Bangalore to communicate with me. I am uncertain about what steps to take as I never signed any bond or contract beyond the initial appointment letter.

I reached out to the central HR department to seek clarification on the outstanding amount.

Therefore, my query is: can a company initiate legal proceedings for not completing the notice period? What course of action should I pursue?

I would be much obliged if any of the fraternity friends were to advise as to what should be done when an employee or officer leaves the company without giving a resignation letter and without serving the notice period, as mentioned in the appointment order issued to him or her.

Hi Sikydv,

I am now facing the exact same problem with CSC (now DXC). I resigned within 2 days of joining, and now they are demanding notice period recovery. Can you please, please, please let me know what happened with your issue with CSC? :(

Hi All,

Santhiya here. I was terminated from DXC Technology, also known as CSC Corporation, due to some personal reasons. I joined in May and left in June. Now, I have received an email and letter from DXC Technology requesting a recovery amount of INR 100,000. If I fail to pay this amount, they have threatened legal action against me as stated in the mail.

Could someone please provide me with accurate information? Do they genuinely intend to pursue legal action, or is this just a threat?

Thank you.

Hi,

Not only DXC, but any company, for that matter, will proceed with disciplinary action and close the file if you abscond without information. However, the action depends on your nature of employment with the organization, such as training period, regular employment, or signed indemnity bond.

Wherever monetary loss occurs to the employer due to the exit, they will try to recover the same through the legal system or by holding the full and final settlement, as the case may be.

In general, leaving an organization without any information is not advisable.

Hi,
I had informed the HR and project team before leaving the organisation that i will not be able to continue due to health issues and hence could not serve the notice period. They had asked me to report to office but I replied that i could not travel as per doctor’s advice and then ignored replying to further mails from them. Am i still liable to pay the compensation.
Thanks in advance
