The thing is that i can quit after 6 months probation in a 2 year contract.

I finished 6 months and i want to leave for Perth next month.

I didn't make any promises and i receive no training whatsoever.

Oh contract position...... Normally you are supposed to finish off the whole contract unless there's a mutual agreement with them to end it.

Looks like they're not happy with you ending the contract.

So i am quitting my job and recently i received a letter saying that the company will sue me for quitting my job.

Why?

How can it be possible for someone to get sued for exercising his freedom to quit his job?

No, seriously. Is this common in Malaysia where people get sued for quitting their job? How is this possible?

1) what does your contract say about termination period. snap that portion and post here if you can't type doh.gif
2) what is the content of that sue letter. what did you breach?

QUOTE(Taufiq91 @ Aug 15 2014, 04:35 PM)
I gave notice and i returned everything.

I gave 2 resignation letters, 1 months notice and yesterday's letter.

first letter is resignation
second letter is complaint letter???

QUOTE(Taufiq91 @ Aug 15 2014, 04:36 PM)
I doubt i've breached any single contract.

read/post the content of the sue letter

most of the time, people sued because of giving short notice of resignation. usually during probation period, 1 months is required and when you are confirmed for the position, it is either 2 to 3 months.

sometime, this situation is void in the case of you being bonded to the company. usually after taking expensive course. other than that, i never heard of such case..

just as what nearly said.

read your contract, usually there's a clause where you may have a few days/month period to leave.

this is to protect the company. if you doing a super awesome job that other ppl cannot do and there is an ongoing project that involve you, you decide to quit then what about the project? project cannot do coz you decide to quit = lose money, lose reputation for failed project.

its not about ur freedom. once you sign a contract, your freedom is restricted to the tnc of the contract.

thus you CAN quit but after submitting your resignation letter usually got a grace period where you are forced to be in the company.

quitting a company usually both side affected. u can be a douche and do things not properly since you are already leaving, but doing this the company will not help you if any future employer calls them to ask about ur performance.

if the company is a douche they can throw tons of work on to you or "delay" your salary.

if they wanna sue you means you're quitting before the grace period end

....

just realized your username taufiq91. you're still quite young. a lot to learn....

absolutely not. any company cannot sue just because you resign.

you must have violated your contract/any other binding document in order for the company to have grounds for suing you.

your next step should be asking your company why are you being sued.

Haizzzz,

1. Compnay cannot force a person to work as it is against the concept of slavery.

2. However, if there is a notice period and you do not wish to comply, you can compensate in liue of the notice.

3. Same, if the agreement states that in the event you leave earlier you pay....you pay. Eg scholarship bond

4. Without the contract of employment, hard for us to advise you.

5. Company can also preemptive sue you if you contract contains non competitive clause and you are breaking that Clause.

TLDR .. need more info wat the Co is planning to take out against you

On what ground why they want to sue you?

What do you mean by 6 months probation in a 2 years contract?

Aiyo, cannot la...company cannot sue for the balance period since company had not suffered any loss. Pure economic loss cannot be pursued in Malaysia.

TS, did you leave the company before completing your resignation intend?

Or you just throw in your letter and MIA the following day?

What are the contents of your service letter?
