I joined a big company in India for two months, then went to the US on a visitor visa. I found a job here and they’re willing to sponsor my work visa. So, I told my Indian company I had to leave and couldn’t work my notice period. Now, they’re saying I abandoned my job and want me to pay around ₹3 lakhs or they’ll take legal action. My contract mentions paying for my notice period based on my yearly salary. I’m worried. What should I do?

Based on your contract, you may be legally obligated to pay for your notice period. However, the amount they are demanding seems excessive. Consult a lawyer in India to assess your legal situation and negotiate a reasonable settlement with your former employer.

However, the principal at the Gurgaon school refused to honor my CCL and insisted I join duty immediately. My child was still breastfeeding and unwell, so I requested CCL again in March 2013, but my request was denied.
