Hi, I would like some advice regarding my wife's current predicament.

She has just sent in her resignation letter to her employer, which at first they refuse to accept.

Eventually they come out and say that because she's going to a competitors company, she has to pay them 1 month salary and serve her notice period. In which case she has to work a month or free. Is it possible for them to do so? Even under the circumstance that it is stated in her offer letter, would it stand in court?

She said the company is notorious for suing ex-employees over resigning, so we'd like to atleast know what we'll be facing.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. As mentioned previously in the 1st post, I believe she is covered under the Emploment Act (<Rm2500), so does that mean the contract is void?
