Hi,
I had joined Aegis BPO Kolkata in July 25th 2011. I had been offered a certain salary but did not receive the offer letter at that point of time. I decided to join anyways, and continued to work without anything in writing. Whenever I asked for the offer letter I was told by the HR that it is in process. Finally after almost a month I got the offer letter and the appointment letter on the same day. However, the salary break-up given in the appointment letter was not what I had agreed to. The break-up stated that about 25% of my salary will be CTC and the remaining as variable incentive. I did not accept any of the letters and decided to quit when I my first salary was released. I did try to bring my concern to the managements notice but I was informed that they cannot do anything about it. When I went to put down my papers I was told that this was not required as I had not accepted the offer or the appointment letter.
Now after almost 2 months I received a letter from Aegis yesterday informing me that I owe a certain amount of money to them which if not paid within 5 days, they would take legal action against me. My question is, can they do this? Specially when they do not have anything in writing that I had accepted their terms and conditions regarding separation procedure.
The amount they claim is not much but still I don't wish to pay them as I feel it was very unethical on their part to misguide me into joining their organization.
P.S. I still have the unsigned copy of the offer and appointment letter. If that helps.
Regards,
