If you have received a legal notice from your ex-employer for breaching the terms of your employment contract, it is important to take the following steps:

  1. Carefully review the notice: Go through the legal notice thoroughly and make sure you understand the allegations made against you and the specific clauses of the employment contract that you are accused of violating.

  2. Seek legal advice: Consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in employment law to understand your legal rights and obligations. A lawyer can help you understand the implications of the legal notice and provide guidance on how to respond.

  3. Respond to the legal notice: You may need to respond to the legal notice within a specified time frame. Your lawyer can help you draft a response that addresses the allegations made against you and outlines your defence.

  4. Negotiate a settlement: Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be able to negotiate a settlement with your ex-employer to resolve the matter out of court. A lawyer can assist you in negotiating and finalizing the terms of any settlement.

  5. Defend yourself in court: If the matter goes to court, you will need to defend yourself against the allegations made by your ex-employer. Your lawyer can represent you in court and help you prepare a strong defence.

It is important to take legal notices seriously and respond in a timely and appropriate manner. You may consult with me in detail about your case since ignoring a legal notice can result in further legal action being taken against you.

Hi! to resolve the said issue it is necessary to know the terms and conditions of the appointment letter, when you have join and when you have left the office, what is the nature of job, Only then the relevant reply can be prepared in your interest. Absconding from job without intimation is a serious issue but the same can be resolved.

In reference to the received legal notice, you need to reply the notice without delay. Meet a lawyer along with your employment letter or appointment letter and all supporting documents like email , resignation etc. In order to send reply to the employer.
