I was working for a large multinational company with a 30-day notice period as per my contract. However, they unilaterally changed it to 90 days via email without any formal contract amendment or my consent. When I resigned, they demanded the longer period. I insisted on my original 30-day commitment, but they refused. After escalating the issue to their HR head, I was relieved on the 45th day. Now, the company is seeking compensation for the remaining period. Is this claim valid?

The company’s claim for compensation is likely invalid. Unilaterally changing a contractual term like notice period without your consent is not legally binding. You were justified in adhering to the original 30-day notice period, and the company cannot enforce a change they made without your agreement.
