How to leave a company which indulges in illegal activities ?


27-Oct-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I found that my company does illegal work but I had signed a confidentiality contract.What can I do? Definitely I am planning to leave my job.Is there any way I can escape their notice period of one month and also get paid for the days I worked because surviving in an illegal firm is hard especially if they have improper behavior. and I also knw that they will not accept my resignation.They also have my initial salary of 15days as a security amount. Is it possible to get back.

You can any day resign from your job stating the reason thereto. No company can refuse to accept the resignation letter unless that resignation letter is not as per the employment agreement or norms of the company.
You can leave the company by either giving a one month notice period handing over the assignment to other person of your team or you can immediately resign and leave by leaving that month salary in which you are resigning.
Further unless there is a bond under which you have received any sort of training to undertake this job, with your resignation you are also entitled to get back the money which has been kept by your employer as a security money.

Yes why not. U will get full salary for the days worked. If u wont to resign n u r saying that they will not accept so u can send ur resignation on mail.
TherAfter u can approach different authorities for recovering ur dues. Including police complaint made in a specific manner.

Confidentiality clause does not protect illegal activities. You can not enter into an illegal contract.So you are duty bound by law to report any illegal act to the appropriate authorities. They can not keep any salary which lawfully belongs to them.
