Forcing to join the company
1 month ago
a potential employer has given me an offer to join his organization, but due to certain developments in my personal life, I am unable to accept the offer and thereby unable to join their organization. Now the employer is threating me to join or else they will issue a legal notice and this is causing me mental stress. What should i do?
A.Dear client, if there is no legal agreement between the employer and you, it's not mandatory to join his organisation. You can file a complaint under sec 503 of ipc for threatening you under criminal intimidation.

A.Dear Client,
Section 73 of the Contract Act, 1872 makes provision for un-liquidated damages (not stipulated in a contract), Section 74 of the said Act deals with liquidated damages (stipulated in a contract) and no compensation is attracted for mere breach of contract u/s.73. 74 of the Act unless such breach resulted in an actual loss or damage to the opposite party employer. So, in the prevailing situation, if the Company takes any legal action against you and you are not holding the position of Manager/Supervisor but a workman as defined u/s.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act then after serving a legal notice to the Company, reach out to the office of the Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint against the employer over alleged unfair labour practice to resolve the grievance. Otherwise, you need to file a civil suit against the Company in Civil Court seeking appropriate relief in the matter
