Breaking Employment Contract Consequences

Summary

Breaking an employment contract without giving 30 days notice can have serious repercussions, especially if the job was illegal (not on payroll and without a work permit). Both the employer and employee may face penalties. Employers can be fined between $375 to $16,000 per violation, while employees may face deportation, difficulty in obtaining legal status, and future employment challenges. Consult a legal professional for specific advice.
