Hi Sentro2020,

I don't mean any offense. But, missing in action is probably the worst thing to do during the career. At first you should talk with the previous employer and tell them that you are leaving.

If your contract clearly speficies that you need to give them one month notice or pay RM2000 compensation, then you need to follow the rules. The contract is a legal document that protect both you and the employer. This type of miscommuncations is not uncommon, however its a pain when you are in the middle of it.

Well, no point saying that what you supposed to do now. There are contingency plans.

1) The easiest way to settle this once and for all is you pay the compensation. I know you say that they did not pay you your previous months salary. However, you need to know that who makes the bigger mistakes/faults here?

2) Go to your current employer and tell the current situation. They are more than willing to listen to your problem and will suggest you some ways. They might even help you to consult your previous employee.

3) Negotiate with your previous employer. Tell them the situation and asked for something that suits both. Bear in mind though, if your previous employer is a tough nut, you might need to handle someone with legal background or even a lawyer.

4) Continue ignorance should never be considered. Your previous employer might hire lawyer to sue you (thats the worst thing) or call the money collecting agency to come to your house and get the money. Don't ever ever think of this.

5) This is the worst case scenario and I am not joking. If all the efforts made and with no good outcome, make a police report.

PS: No matter what happens in the end, I am extremely worried that your reputation might be ruined.

Hope that helps.

Thank you
