Breach of Contract with a Vendor
I am in a situation where i am not able to take a decision. Please help.
I work for an employer who is a sub vendor for a client in Michigan and due to some of my personal emergency i had to leave to India for 4 weeks for which i took approval from the client and informed the primary vendor. But the primary vendor asked me not to leave to India...but as it was emergency i had to leave. When i came back after 4 weeks i got an email saying that i was terminated from the Project and by this time the Contract time period has also got ended. Now he has stopped all the payments to my employer for last 2 and half months for which i have worked. When contacted for payments the vendor says that he won't release any payments and inturn says that i am eligible for damages.
In the mean time client has approached me to join back to work and i clearly mentioned that there is a clause with my earlier contract which says that i shouldn't join with client through any other vendor for one year but client insisted that they will take care of any issues if Vendor complains or raises any issues.
I am really very much confused to take a decision.What am i supposed to do.? I have started working for the client through another vendor whick is aware of my situation. I am working for this vendor after changing my H1 to a new company. Am i liable for getting sued by the previous vendor because i have signed the PO for him but my present employer has no contracts with my previous vendor.
Please advise me in this matter.
Re: Breach of Contract with the Vendor
You will have to have the contract reviewed by a Michigan attorney. We cannot interpret a contract we have not read.

If the client gives such an assurance, logically you will not have any problem with the vendor because if the vendor sues you, the vendor will lose his business relationship with your client and the amount of client's business the vendor will lose (in future) by suing you will be atleast 100 times more than the amount the vendor will earn by suing you.
Any businessman who has common sense and knows math will not do it.
