Can my ex-employer use my email id and name to get business
29-Jul-2023 (In Corporate Law)
I used to work in an organization in mumbai. I left organization in October 2016. But i got to know that the company has kept my email active. We used to work with international clients and all the interaction that we do are on email. Moreover, i have a very good reputation among my clients. I believe my ex-employer is using my name and email to get more business from the clients that i used to work with. The employer is not paying me my pending dues for last 9 months but have kept my email active. Am i entitled to claim compensation / salary / loyalty for last 9 months? Is it legal to use my name and email for business activity even after i leave the organization? If there are any rules pertaining to these do let me know Regards, Kunal
hello,
the email account which you have in your previous office was it specifically for that organization? also did you had any bond signed in the same organization? also have the said organization or employees their presented themselves as you while dealing with your clients? you are entitled for your dues and you can approach appropriate court for the same . and also you can file a complaint under information technology act.

I need to check the terms in your employment letter. Yes, you can claim legally from your ex-company your salary for last 9 months for which you have worked. Though the email-ids are property of the company, but they cannot continue using the same email-id bearing your name for the purpose of communications with clients, post you leave your company. You can take legal action against your company, provided you have the evidence towards the same.

Dear Kunal,
Your company cannot use your name reputation to get more clients they can definitely use company's name. If your email address consist of your name then you can stop them to use the same if you have proof that they are using the name. You can claim your dues if you have any. You cannot claim loyalty if not in the employers contract.
