Start Date Delayed By 15 Days
I got an email offer from a private Software company stating Monthly salary, Start date,3 months contract, Title, Client etc. I accepted the offer through email. But my start date has still not honored and 15 days completed from Start date now but I have still not started. They say client is delaying due to COVID-19 and say they will start in another 1 week. Can I take any legal action. Based on their email only I accepted and cancelled all my other assignments and also my job search.

Taking into consideration the facts mentioned by you. One may consider taking legal action against the company by issuing a legal notice. However, before a line of legal action is to be acetained one need to go through the details of the contract consent by you through email. Hope this suggestion helps you. Best Regards.
It is advised that you serve Legal notice to the Company and try to bring them to the negotiation table because the litigation will consume time and energy, which is not worth in instant case. All the best.

Dear All, I was working as an Senior IT consultant in a company for last 2.2 years and suddenly terminated unlawfully cause of poor performance. Before the termination they did send any warning or PIP. In last 2 yeras I was among the top performar in the office. I requested to senior manager to reconsider the termination. They asked for few times and called me for full & final settlement. I got the cheque for full & final settlement but yet not received any documents from the company. I have only the salary slip of last 6 months. After the full & final settlement they are forcing me to resign. If I resign then they will only provide me the documents. Please suggest me what are the legal way I can fight against them? Can I file a case of unlawful termination and Mental harassment? What are the IPC act I can use ? Regards, Manav
