I’ve been working at a company for the past 4 months. They mentioned a probation period verbally, and I trusted them and started working. Each time I asked for an offer letter, my manager gave excuses and promised to provide it later. I received my salary every month, so I kept believing him. Recently, they gave me the offer letter, but some clauses were unclear. When I asked to see the company policy, they said it was still being finalized. They tried to convince me to sign, saying the policies don’t matter, but the letter clearly stated it should be signed on or before my start date, which was 4 months ago. They even threatened to sue me for taking the salary. What should I do in this situation?

You should consult a lawyer to understand your rights and obligations. Based on the information provided, the company’s actions seem suspicious and potentially exploitative. You have grounds to question the legality of the offer letter and their claims about the salary. A lawyer can advise you on the best course of action, including whether to sign the offer letter or negotiate with the company.
