Hello, My previous company has issued me a notice from the legal team asking for the recovery of a hefty amount on the pretext of mis-selling and wrong commitments to the client. However, I have already served the full notice period, received the full and final payment, as well as an experience letter from the employer. The company has refunded the money to the client, incurring no cost, yet they are demanding a recovery and accusing me of cheating and criminal breach of trust. I have already provided a written apology to both the organization and the client.
Can a company claim recovery or take legal action against a former employee?
Do my previous company have the right to involve and inform my current company, even though the background verification process is completed? Am I liable to pay the recovery amount, considering they have deducted some amount from my full and final payment under the pretext of another incident?
