I recently resigned from a company, due to it's many flaws, from inept management and self destructive business decisions,to major improprieties, such as illegally withholding employees IRA contributions, etc.
I was the foreman of a large commercial project.
I left the project (as well as several other employees and the Project manager)about 6 to 8 weeks from the end of the job.
My former employer recently contacted me, thru an attorney (a scare tactic), claiming I will be sued if I don't come back and assemble as-built drawings for him.
My position is this; I feel, as an hourly paid employee, once I resigned I am under no further obligation to perform any services for that company. Also, 8 weeks is plenty of time to find a competent replacement, who could research the project, and put together as-builts.
I am basically calling his bluff, and said I'll see him in court.
Can anyone offer any insight into this situation. Am I actually obligated to continue to perform services for this company after resigning?
