Employment Law
questions & answers
Question: Hello, I signed an employment contract stating I would give a 30 day notice or agree to forfeit any unpaid compensation. In this case it would be 2 weeks plus 14 hours. Since I resigned I have been antagonized to the point where I left after only 15 days post resignation notification. Are the employers permitted to withhold my salary under these circumstances?
Answer: The terms of the employment contract likely outline the rights, responsibilities, and processes related to termination of employment for both the employee and the employer – including under what conditions portions of the agreement are in effect. An employment law attorney would be able to review the employment contract and provide advice on the application of the contract to your departure and salary withholding.
