Legal Recourse For Cancellation Of Offer Letter And Non-Payment Of Dues

You have a strong case for recovering compensation from the company based on your situation. Here's how you can proceed legally with the offer letter as evidence: Legal Basis: Breach of Contract: The offer letter, once accepted by you, forms a binding contract. The company's actions (not providing the employment contract, refusing to employ you) constitute a breach of contract. Damages You Can Claim: Relocation Expenses: You can claim reimbursement for documented expenses incurred due to relocation (travel, accommodation, moving costs).Salary for Notice Period: Since you haven't started work, you might not be entitled to full salary. However, you can claim salary for a reasonable notice period as per industry norms or mentioned in the offer letter (if any).Loss of Earning Opportunity: You can claim compensation for the time and effort wasted due to the company's actions. This could be based on average salaries in your field for the period you were waiting (discuss this with your lawyer). Steps to Take: Draft a Legal Notice: Consult a lawyer specializing in labor law. They can draft a legal notice outlining the breach of contract, the specific damages you incurred, and demand compensation from the company.Negotiation (Optional): The lawyer can advise on the possibility of negotiation with the company to reach a settlement without going to court.Litigation (If Negotiation Fails): If negotiation doesn't yield a satisfactory outcome, your lawyer can file a suit in the appropriate labor court against the company. Strength of Your Case: The offer letter is a strong piece of evidence in your favor, as it establishes the company's offer and your acceptance.Documented relocation expenses will strengthen your claim for reimbursement. Additional Tips: Maintain Records: Keep copies of the offer letter, emails, communication with the company, and relocation expense receipts. Seek Legal Advice: A lawyer's guidance is crucial for navigating legal procedures and maximizing your chances of recovery.
