What are the actions an employer can take in case of a notice period not being served if it is mentioned in the offer letter and they have it signed from the employee that either a 3 month notice period needs to be served or pay the salary in lieu of?

My employer is asking me to either serve a negotiated notice period of one month (in offer letter- 3 months) Or else to pay a certain amount to them. Otherwise they will take legal actions and consider ot a case of absconding when I have handed over the assets already?

Dear Sir, Nothing to bother. No employer has to time and patience to approach the Courts to recover such amounts. Lest, it is it’s the question of reputation. Be calm and quiet and enjoy the atmosphere in the new company.

You can serve notice upon the employee for recovery of salary of three months alongwith interest for not serving the notice period.You can also demand damages for breach of contract.

Hi, want to check eligibility for severance pay and notice period pay after wrongful termination as a result of retaliation

Hi Team, I joined FYERS as VP - CS and sales on 16th jan'24 however they ended my employment suddenly on 5thApr'24 in retaliation since I reported continued hostile, intimidating and unprofessional behaviour by SR. Manager sales on 3rd Apr '24 in writing to VP -HR of FYERS. As a result FYERS moved one of my KYC process to another VP on 4th Apr and ended my employment on 5th Apr'24. They withdraw my access to all systems, emails and chat on 5th apr'24 itself and FYERS -HR send me a email that I have resigned and is not equired to be available in office for next 15 days of notice period when I haven't resigned till today from FYERS. When I questioned them and asked them to share my resignation. They created new story saying that I there was difference in expectation between them and myself about role. When I challenged that saying CEO himself was appreciating me and all. They said, I resigned since my performance was an issue during probation period of 3 months when they never issued any mail Or notice to me on my performance till today. They haven't paid me my notice period pay of 20 days for Apr'24 nor have paid me any severance pay which I requested nor have issued me any relieving letter. In fact they send me full and final payslip yesterday for Apr 24 showcasing LOP days -20 . What can I do in this case, pls guide.
