Can company take legal action if I don't serve legal notice
27-Dec-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Worked for 4 months in a company without offer letter, they have given me salary for it. Gave me the offer letter few days back, but I didnt sign as they refused to give it to me home or send it via mail and didnt show company policy. I have given my resignation letter stating that i need to care of my mother who is having illness, but company is asking me to serve the notice period which they will decide. Can they take legal action against me if i dont serve the notice? I dont want any experience letter or relieving letter, but want my salary for this month for which i have worked. I just want to leave the company without any negative comments.
Generally all the companies frame their own rules pertaining to appointments and termination of employees within the legal framework.
In your case You have worked for 4 months and received salary ,but you r willing to releave from company on some reason of course illness of your beloved mother .
But before releaving your self you have to give notice and till you releave you have to work for the following reasons.
Company made investment on your training
You got the job when you are jobless
To recruit in your place it need some time.
Moreover you have signed offer letter and you don't have copy of the same
What I said above every thing will be included by company in that offer letter and you have to abide by the terms of offer.
Note if You have not signed offer letter they can't take legal action against you and at the same time without any offer letter you cannot recover one month salary . So there is no chance of legal action against you by company and to avoid claim of your one month salary they might have demanded to work for notice period.

sir, yes,you have to give notice as per the terms and conditions of the appointment letter, As there is no letter of appointment , you have received salary. So, you have to give notice of intimation 15 days early and then to submit resignation along with claims. without intimation if you suddenly absent without reason or resigned, they can take action and recover the loss from you. you can claim salary.
