I joined a company(national brand) on 21st feb 2019 at the time of joining they took 2 cheque of 1 lakh each.i got 15 days training.just after training I was posted to Chennai branch.within 2 week I realised that I can not work in this company.because of language barrier I am not able to connect with people...in office my boss used to talk in local language and I felt ignored.in office mobile phone was not allowed...you can not go outside without permission...it felt like I am in jail.i discussed with my seniors and told them to transfer me to any branch in North india but they tried to convince me.i sent multiple emails to hr but there was no response.i was working under mental stress.my health started deteriorating.at one point of time it became impossible for me to continue so I left it and told them that my health condition is not good. Now after 15 days I got an email and a letter by post from the company saying that you are absent from the work without information , report at branch within 3 days otherwise legal action will be taken against you.also they are saying that due to your absence company is suffering hugely but it is not at all true. Now that is the option left to me.?what should I do?

Hello,
since you have given cheque at the time of joining they may present the same in the bank now and now since training was imparted they do have a strong case. If they get indemnified by encashing those cheque then they will not file any case further.
Regards
You are suggested to strongly reply the notice citing reasons of leaving the job.
Rejoin the branch within 3 days
2) if you don’t join company would deposit the 2 cheque’s of Rs one lakh each
3) serve the notice period
4) it is necessary to peruse terms of your appointment letter to advice further
You should offer them to pay salary in lieu of the notice period in order to get yourself relieved from your duties.
Yes, they are right to issue you letters, at least you should do either to resign or to move leave application but you have not, so now make up your mind take the required step and get rid of the tension otherwise they will show you abandoned the service and may stop your dues.Better is to continue there and move and move applications for transfer on medical grounds annexing medical certificate issued by the Government Hospital.
