Your Questions About Compensation Letter To Employee

Can an employee resign during his probationary period without notice?

I am currently in a probationary period(6 months) without a compensation in a small organization. I was given the offer letter which states that i need to give 1 month of notice before leaving the company. have completed 4 months as of now and have now got very good offer from an other company. My doubt is, can i resign without giving the 1 month notice as mentioned in the offer letter? are the rules stated in the offer letter applicable to the employees under probation? somebody please clarify.

thanks
anusha
also am not under any contract or bond right now.

If you have a problem with your lawyer’s employee?

I have a lawyer who is handling my accident case. Lawyer’s employee has written a rough draft of my demand letter to seek my compensation. However, I notice that the employee has missed around $3000 worth of my medical expenses.

Clearly, I’m going to point this out to the lawyer’s assistant, but how do I express my disappointment in this kid of huge inaccuracy? I feel as though the lawyer should apologize and maybe they should compensate me for making this kind of inaccuracy. (Since I’m paying the lawyer, it should not be my job to check their work. In doing so, spending several hours)
