I am offered a new job in a MNC Company here. And about to sign an employment contract for 1 year and that will start on the 1st of September. However, if I sign that contract and will not pursue to work at their company on the said date. Do I have a legal responsibility on it? Will they be able to sue me or file a case against me?

Any thoughts on this would be very helpful. Thanks.

I haven´t heard of anyone being sued for changing his mind but you are of course liable because they will stop looking candidates for your position. If you are not sure, I suggest that you talk to your future employer and have an open dialogue instead of signing the contract right away.

Legally speaking, once you sign a contract, it becomes binding of course!

I'd advise that you talk to them about delays in appearing at the job before sending the signed contract.
