Hi, I left my company without any notice; my appointment letter states that I have to give 2 months' notice before leaving. I am on a probation period, and I have completed just 2 months in my current job. Now my senior says that I need to pay damages for 2 months as a 2-month salary or they will go legal. I want to know if the company can afford to go legal in this matter and what is the best possible way to get out of it. I do not need any relieving or experience letter from their side as other companies are ready to accept me without a relieving letter as well. Please help.

if you are not bothered about the experience then you can just walk away, since you are in Probation period you are not a permanent employee and you can leave any time without any notice.

Dear Colleagues, I fully agree with Sivasankaran as this is a forum for professional people who are known for complying with professional ethics. As per professional ethics, one should give prior notice as prescribed in the letter of appointment before leaving a company/job. Payment of damages or serving the notice period should be agreed upon by the interested parties. We are not the right people to comment on that matter referred to, as the decision lies with shar333.

Options for Handling Employment Exit
Either you have to settle your account or you may decide to abscond from the current employment. You may check your appointment order for any clause specified for the payment of the notice period. If you want to be relieved properly, subject to payment, from the current employment, the employer can hold your remaining period of service salary and PF payment. The absconding of employees can result in dues being paid to the company and the collection of salaries and PF.
Decide for yourself which is the best way for your employment. However, you should communicate your resignation to your employer.

I want to avoid any legal action, and I am not interested in paying anything to them as well. It is a matter concerning both parties. If the company is not fulfilling its promises and not sticking to them, the employee has no choice.

Ethical Considerations When Resigning
At last, the least ethical thing to do is to inform them that you are resigning. They can then look for an alternative for your position. Please consider the difficulties that arise when employees leave without notice.

During probation period the employee can leave the job in 24 hours notice. Hence the notice period of two months doesn’t apply.

During probation period, 24 hours notice is enough for employee or employer to resign/terminate. Hence 2 months damage claim will not be applicable.
