If you are being asked to do something that you believe to be morally wrong.

there is no legal justification. although there is a special law that mandates notice 3 months prior to termination of the lease contract, it can be observed that this mandate is for the benefit of the lessee. if the contract of lease which both of u engaged in reduced the span of notice to 30 days, then it can be considered as a valid waiver of the lessee's right of 3 months. he cannot invoke such law in the courts of law as it would tantamount to estoppel. \nthe proper remedy would be an action for unlawful detainer or if it is no longer available, an action publiciana.\n\ni advise that you consult a lawyer in this matter.

no.  Look at your contract, though. Look at all the documents you've signed.\n\nYou might show them to a lawyer.  Even if you signed some sort of exclusive agreement with them, you can get out of it.

I resigned to seek opportunities in other areas. \n\nWhen explaining why you left a job you never want to talk poorly about your previously employer.  That does not mean you have to lie and say it was the best job you ever had but you can say things like "I felt that other companies may be a better fit for my long term goals."\n\nIf you list resigned you will be asked, if you make it to an interview, why you left the company.  Use it as an opportunity to talk about your good points.  "I left the company to find a company that I would be able to put my sales ability, like increasing gross sales figures by 15% in one month, to better use."

Employment Contracts binding an employee to serve the Company for a specific number of months/years do not stand in any courts of law in India. The Company may threaten you with legal consequences citing the Contract but if you have valid reasons to breach such provisions of the contract, nothing can be done by the Employer. Generally, some employees use the Contract with a view to retain the employee when they train them on extra skills where they may have invested time and money. But in your case, you were sent to US for a project assignment where the Company had made only gains and had not made any extra investment to train you on additional skills. \nAll said and done, it is always better to thrash out issues across the table with your employer rather than confronting them. Think wise, keeping your future in mind, before you take any decision.

No one can hold u bak once u've decided to quit.  For the timebeing they may create a ruckus.  inform your future employer abt the situation and if u wish u can get the date of joining extended.  nothing to worry at all, u've just worked for 3 yrs. i've seen ppl working in companies for 20 long years and quitting without giving a second thot, even though they r not given a proper release letter. abt the P.F. as per the rule they have to release the money within a time frame, i think its 3 months. check it out...they cannot hold your dues for more than 3 -4 months.  or else you can take legal action.since u havent signed any agreement, u r safe. but take your future employer under confidence.ALL THE BEST.

Depends on the state you're in and the employer. In my opinion, the employment contract is initially breached by the employee no longer performing as expected/demanded. The employer has well within his rights to terminate that employee.

You do not have grounds for a lawsuit simply for being terminated. Employers have a right to terminate employees at any time, just like you have a right to quit. (It's called at-will employment.) In trying to get you to sign the termination papers, your former employer was trying to document a case to prevent you from successfully filing for unemployment insurance by showing that you were terminated "with cause". The unemployment rates that employers pay is based on their "experience rating" which is determined by how many of their former employees successfully collect unemployment benefits. It is good that you did not sign the paper, although don't be surprised if they manufacture some documentation. You should immediately file for unemployment and describe everything that happened to you. The fact that somebody else did not get fired for infringing on the rules is not relevant. The burden is on the employer to convince the unemployment people that you were terminated with a cause, which usually means criminal conduct or egregious violation of the rules, which must be documented by the employer.

you cannot force an employee to sign against their will.  if they chose not to sign then they probably had problems as an employee prior and maybe theyre not meant for that company.  I'd remind them that the eval is areas of improvement and that everyone could improve in some way.  if they chose not to sign still then just notate it on their employee file with time/date and turn it over to HR to handle.

Give one months notice, and you should be fine, its consumer contract so any clause will be subject to reasonableness test in schedule 2 of ucta. (unfair contract terms act 1977)\n\nWhere a contract has very onerous terms then those terms should specifically be brought to your attention. Even if they were the law will not allow the inequality of bargaining power since you are contracting on their standard terms, so every clause has to be reasonable.\n\nIf the service is substantially different to what is promised then that is a repudiatory breach of contract and you should be entitled to rescind the contract, effectively be brought back into the position before the contract.\n\nI would suggest give notice to terminate on the grounds that they have failed to perform their end of the bargain, if they do not agree you may go to a solicitor and negotiate that way. It depends how much money is involved, whether you should go for small claims or not. \n\nWrite a letter to the company detailing your issues, and say you have all evidence in writing, and wait and see, more than likely they will back out. Even if they issue proceeding from what you have described you have a good counterclaim.

No. I was loyal and honest and hard working for an employer for 10 1/2 years, and he fired me with NO notice and treated me like crap with absolutely no reason. i'm sure it was from bad politics and back stabbing.\n \nSo your 9 years of service was valuable and he doesn't like you quitting because you were good. That should make you feel good. Imagine if he said "good riddance!"\nUnfortunately for employees the good they do for their employers is always in the past, and no debts are owed on either side when they part company.\nIf it is a huge problem for them, for you to be gone on a weeks notice, then they weren't running their company properly, and it's not your fault. It'll do them good to learn that lesson.\nJust for future reference, you didn't have to tell your boss you were going to a competitor.

You do not have to give a reason.\n\nI hereby resign my position effective 2/3/06. I would like to thank you for your support during my tenure here, and will do whatever is necessary to have a smooth transition to whomever you choose to replace me.\nSincerely,

In the U.K when someone accepts an offer of employment from the emploer a binding (on both parties) contract is created, it does not matter at this stage that there is no written source, the contract is verbal or, more commonly, implied.\n\nHe is in breach of the contract between yourselves, did he even inform you of the cut before he administered it? It would be unacceptable for you to suddenly decide that you are not going to work all of the hours agreed after a few weeks and this is no different!\n\nIf you have not agreed to this wage cut then you have the right to repudiate (cancel) the contract with immediate effect (i.e. no notice required) as rate of pay is one of the fundamental terms to the contract. I would reccomend writing a letter of complaint detailing the breach of contract and requesting that the original rate be re-instated and any back pay owing be paid. Be careful if you have worked ther for less than three months as you will not have gained any statutory rights yet!!\n\nIf you do decide to stay at your job, it would be worth trying to get a trade union in as your employer doesn't sound like he likes to play fair.

Depends where you are in the world.  In the UK employees have very little rights before two years employment.  Minimum pay, health and safety, minimum vacation.  They can be sacked pretty much at will.  After two years employment (full or part time) the worker has the full rights of UK law (including mandatory vacation, sick pay, pension rights, entitlement to unfair dismissal appeals etc.)  \n\nThis is all without a paper contract.  In giving you employment, a court would deem that a contract had been entered into, even if nothing was signed.

Any notice is better than no notice at all. Even though you may never go back to that job again, please have enough common courtesy to inform your employer.

When you take on a new job, there is always that first 90 days in which either you or the employer can decide if it is the right job for you.  Either side can end the employment within that first 90 days with no repercussions.  It sounds like a place where NObody should be working!  Or maybe somebody else...(newly-hired management)needs to get in there, clean house, and hire people who are qualified for the job.  Meanwhile, you need to get out of there while your customer service skills are still intact...first 90 days or not!  You deserve better.  I'd hate to see you give up and become like them...which may be what'll happen.
