Dear Sir, I am foreign employee who transferred to South African branch of Indian IT company on Intra Company Transfer permit. Before I was transferred, I signed one overseas undertaking in India. Also I signed deputation letter on my arrival in South Africa. My company made working condition intolerable on professional ground hence I decided to search alternative job in SA. I found one soon and then got my quota work permit before expiry of my ICT permit. Since as per immigration act my contract with company was valid until validity of my ICT permit hence one week before expiry of my ICT permit(My ICT permit expired on 2nd May 2014) I resigned from my company and was to join other company because I have valid Quota permit. Now my company is claiming that I have not followed their resignation process and are forcing clauses mentioned in contract which I signed in India. I visited labour department and they said that Indian rules and employment contract doesn't apply in South Africa. Instead deputation letter will be considered and they confirmed that as per clause mentioned in deputation letter you have done nothing wrong and are free to work any where and also can work for same client where I was rendering my services. Now my problem is that my employer has sent me legal notice through their attorney. Notice is to enforce contract which I signed in India. My client want me to serve for them because I have been their critical resource but my employer is manipulating client and not letting me work there. I am currently unemployed because my employer is creating issues. Kindly help how can I get around this problem. Thanks in advance.
