Dear Sir,
I was working with a company in Delhi where I worked for only 03 months, My HOD asked me to go for somework outstation in which I could not go. Instead due to some of my personal problems and other related issues of work culture I had to leave the company immediately from that very day when I had to go outstation and so I dint went back to them but i sent my resignation by my personal mail.I was on probabtion period of 6 months and according to appointment letter 01 month of notice period is to be given other wise i have to pay one month salary.I spkoe to the HR person and asked if they have any formalities I will do it but they dint replied till next one month. Now I have joined another company and my previous Employer is calling my new company and making my working worst. Also when I mailed HR of my previous company for completeing the formalities if any.They dint replied and when I called they said that now I have to answer their lawyer, So can you please suggest what should I do? what kind of legal action will be taken and how should i answer that legal notice?
Now my ex-company have replied and this is what he has written "It is kindly informed that since you left the company illegally and company had to suffer face off with the clients due to you, the matter has already been referred to the legal department to take appropriate action. ".Now what legal action can he take against me because he is making a issue that I was given a assingment and I dint went there and gave them resignation by mail.
please suggest and reply............

Dear Friend,
First of all you have committed a mistake . As seen from your explanation, your intention was not good. As an employee you were suppose to complete clearance formalities before leaving the job.
Generally no employer pursue such matters unless employee had caused huge damage to the company by fraud or otherwise so you are the best judge to decide up to what extent you ave damaged to the co.
I would suggest you not commit such mistake in future.

Hello UpT,
Shyam has said it right.
I would go a step further & say that you showed the utmost scant respect for professional ethics & propriety. Pl don't tell me that your 'personal problems' cropped up that very instant--even assuming they really did, the normal human response mechanism dictates that you go & meet the concerned persons to explain the situation.....which you didn't do & thereby you loose every opportunity to be even given the benefit of doubt. There are some things that have to be put in writing & some that have to handled Face-to-Face.
Like the HR person said, you have to talk to their lawyer.....and since it's tough talking to a lawyer in legal terms, you will end-up hiring one yourself. Pl go ahead & do it ASAP--in the process shelling out tidy sums of money & your time & effort in addition to the associated mental tension.
At least now, pl learn form your mistake & realize that just as you have a right [in YOUR impression, mind you] to do whatever you wish to, so does the company. Except that the company has much more resources than you have. However, pl note that that doesn't mean that I am advocating you have to 'blindly' do what the Employer says.....only that you shouldn't give them [or anyone for that matter] a chance to point out against you.

Dear Sir,
What I have written is very much right and I am hiding nothing with me but it's not true that I did that intentionaly I was really having a hug bunch of personal as well as professional problems. Even I wanted to have all those cleared but my personals problems could not been solved by my Company and professional problems were created by them only so no use of discussing it with them.
Now about the company loss, the nature of job which was given to me will never give them any financial loss niether I am having any of their property. Also as per my Appointment the nature of job for which they were sending me in not under my job profile so anyways they can not force me to go.Now im wating for their notice which they want to send and if they have any solid base for that.
This is for sure that in future i will never land up myself in such situation.Sir i would like to ask two things
1) Is it written anywhere in law that resignation can not be given by mail?
2) If my ex-employer again calls my present company and harrass me can I send a legal notice to them?

Sir, my problems dint cropped that very time thats true these problems are from last few months and that is very well known by all my collegues as well as company members but they dont care....but its my family so i have to...yes its true that I would have gone directly to them but still the reponse i knew it would have been same or otherwise a verbal quarrel and I was not in any position to discuss all this with them.From my side I called the HR head and told him that I am ready to clear the formalities if they have and also from their end I have to take some money but i dint asked it because they dint called me till next one month so I thought they would have adjusted the same but now i am waiting for the notice and accordingly i will also reply to the Sir.
I will remember your advice sir and not give chance to company again in future.
