• I had resigned from an it company without completing notice perio

I had resigned from an it company and had served for more than a month and have created a backup and asked me to release earlier (we have notice period of 3 months) I have sent a mail clearly mentioning that I won't be able to serve my notice period as I was not feeling well after 15 days I have joined a government sector as a fresher. After a month I got salary credited in my account from my it company and when I called them they told me that they hadn't accepted my early release and had applied leave on my behalf from my available leaves. So it has happened that at a time I had been in two jobs one government sector and other it sector. Please suggest what should I do.

Since you have communicated your decision to resign the job and have stopped working for the company, you can deem yourself to have been relieved from the company even though they have adjusted the notice period with leave and have sent you the salary payment.

As far as you are concerned, you have resigned the job, secure the evidences for this and work freely in the new organisation.

The company hadn't declared me absconding he has just used me leaves and release me one month later. I just want to ask if the employer has right why not the employee has to leave the company.

It depends on the conditions mentioned in the employment offer letter, if there are no such clauses then you may protest or object to this adjustment of leave.

What are the legal steps I can take. I don't care whether they declare me absconding as I hadn't used it company experience and in future not planning to use that

If you are not worried about the decision by the company to declare you as an absconder, you may not worry about the developments also because the company would initiate such processes to safeguard themselves from any possible legal complication from your side in future in this regard.
