UI was working for a startup company in chennai for around 4 years and I put my notice period to get away from the toxicity because I was losing my mental health . The notice period is around three months . Hr called me exactly a week after the notice and asked if I wanted to get relieved early which I refused and wanted to serve three months and if I am getting relieved early i would need the severance pay . I was earning around 5.5 lpa for 4 years of experience as developer .
The next morning when i woke up i was given a call by my hr manager who said i have done data theft in the client side and there is no data . I had a blank expression before regaining my composure and said to her no i didn’t log into any VM for which her response was to say that its my name showing up in the logs . When I asked for the proofs .She said she is readying the proof and closed the phone call .
Around 2pm I received contract of breach termination with no details , no evidence , no proofs . From then I have sent many reply emails asking for the reason for termination and also the relieving , experience letter but after the termination there is no response from the company .
Also , I had received my payslip for the days i have worked in my last month but no salary has been credited to my account .
So, what would be my next step from here?
Tl:dr
Company sent termination mail saying breach of contract but i am sure I didn’t do anything . -
RIn my experience as a lawyer this is the standard practice adopted by companies when don’t want to pay up.
Serve them a legal notice asap before they try and sue you for breach of contract. It’s important to move swiftly in situations like this. Employers usually fall in line as soon as they are served with a legal notice.
