Non fulfilment of notice period during probation


25-Apr-2023 (In Civil Law)
I was working for a company in Delhi’s Okhla Phase 3. I left the company during the probation period without serving the notice period. The company has now sued me for Rs 1 lakh. Although, there was a provision in the joining letter that in case an employee leaves the organisation without serving the notice period then he/she will be able liable to pay Rs 1.5 lakh penalty if he/she is a group A employee or Rs 1 lakh if he/she is a group B employee. But in my joining letter it wasn’t mention whether I was a group A employee or a group B employee. Moreover, I was subjected to harassment during my time at that company due to which I had to leave without serving the notice period.

As per the details mentioned by you, the notice period is to be served only by group A or group B members. Until you are a permanent employee if he company, no rules or regulations that are applicable to permanent employees will apply on you. However, to know the exact circumstances you were placed in, it would be necessary to go through the papers and rules of the company.

You will have to appropriately represent and contest the claim raised by the company and explain the circumstances in which you had to leave. However, if you dont represent yourself there might be a chance that a decree is passed against you in your absence.
