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?

QUOTE(nearlee @ Aug 15 2014, 04:33 PM) read your contract, don't expect to be spoonfeed
I did, but if the company doesn't like me and is being a burden to the company, why would they sue me if i want to leave?

QUOTE(darium @ Aug 15 2014, 04:34 PM) Only if you didn't give sufficient notice, or have not returned office property, or are bonded over training or scholarship. Other than that, no.  I gave notice and i returned everything. I gave 2 resignation letters, 1 months notice and yesterday's letter.

QUOTE(matrix88 @ Aug 15 2014, 04:35 PM) firstly, read the letter properly, on what cause they want to sue you? any breach of contract? have you signed any other contracts with them? I doubt i've breached any single contract.

QUOTE(arubin @ Aug 15 2014, 04:36 PM) Like nearlee said. It all depends on your employment contract. What are the terms for quitting. Did you make any promises to your company about staying? Are you in breach of any conditions? Did they provide you any training? 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.

QUOTE(dynames07 @ Aug 15 2014, 04:46 PM) 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.. I gave a 1 month notice. And i didn't take any expensive courses/training.

QUOTE(stren89 @ Aug 15 2014, 05:03 PM) If you're still under probation and did not sign the confirmation acceptance letter, you've a high chance of voiding the lawsuit. Go to the industrial court and seek advice in your local town. They should be able to handle your case and send a show cause letter to your previous company. If nothing is made within 2 weeks, then you can proceed to your new company and ignore the lawsuit. I did 6 months as intended.
