Withholding Salary And Relieving Letter

Hi Mr. Sing,

I would advice that first you should write a letter to the company (Do CC to dept. heads etc.) by questioning the reason for delay in Resignation process and know the final date of releaving which they should reply you in writing.

Also Mention that in absence of any reply, the company has to pay you for all these days (the date from expiring of your notice period to till date)since their delay is hindering your joining formalities and aloss of income per day .

If the delay is due to your importance of hadling company's important project then they should request you in writing to serve them for some more days. This copy should be submitted to your new employer.
But they have no right to withhold your salary.

There is no question of thinking for waiting for 1-2 months since no one has seen tomorrow.

You do this, if nothing works then you can go legal or take expert's advice.

Regads,
Priya J.

Dear Shailesh,
I have been reading replies to your post. I want to know you are working at what level in the organization and what is your designation. Please also let me know the nature of your organization.
This will help in providing a suitable solution.

Dear Shailesh,

Every Company has internal HR policies wherein, when the employee resigns, his/her last salary is usually given alongwith the Full and Final Settlement. Many Companies also issue reliving letter alongwith F&F because they want to be doubly sure that the employee who has resigned doesn't have any dues pending which he/she needs to pay to organisation and hence the reliving letter and experience letter are usually given alongwith the F&F cheque. In case there are arrears or recovery from the employee, then reliving letter and experience letter are not issued unless the employee pays for the recovery amount.

You can always show the Resignation letter as a proof when you are joining a new organisation as well as you can give your Immediate Superior(s) / HR Dept numbers for Reference check. this will serve the purpose for time being and you can always tell them about the internal HR policies which your last company follows.

Hope this may help you.

Thanks and regards,
Chini.

If current employer is not paying handsome salary with other perks and fringes and there is not career growth then switching for good job is right of every one. But, in every organization during the period of running project, no employer wants to let go current employees in mid of the project. While hiring you, if they told you about the duration of project, you should have thought before resignation. Please try to convince them, if they agree then its the best, otherwise you need to sacrifice. If they do not disburse your dues try to get relieving letter from. Please do not be emotional because your current employer is reference for the next employer.
Wish you the best of luck for your new job!
Thanks

Dear Sailesh /Neetu,
Hi I am Pranab working in IT company.
Sailesh as you had receivedm the reply stated that your due would be cleared after two months. Ask the following in details:
a)
Two months will be calculated from which date ? It should be from the date of accepting the resignation letter.
b) Ask them to issue relieving letter.
c)Is your previous Organisation is IT company, then it covers under Shop and Establishment ACt, or Factory
In the above case report the matter to Factory Inspector or the concerned Oficer who has issued the Licence to do business.
Inform them in writting to both the employer and give the time frame, stating that if you do not received any reply within stipulated date case will be taken up with the higher authorities.
Thanks and regards,
Pranab

Hi Shailesh.
I would like to add this if they have communicated you orally then there is risk of abstaining with promise
So i would like to mention you to safe guide your stand send a mail starting that " As per our communication with respect to my reliving letter & salary , i understand that i would be receiveing the same from you after 2 month (date)
......Started that point also that you have completed your Notice period as asked ...
Put every thing is diplomatic & professional way make them feel that this is reminder mail & followup mail for what you had for genral understanding
One more thing ,now its upto you if you want to keep some one in loop ...you can do this while putting the mail to the person with whom you had discussion & CCing other guys or one you send te mail forward the same to other guys for there information
hope you are clear
Regards

Dear Shailesh,
As far as my knowledge is concern that there is a clasuse in your appointment letter if you leave the organisation, you will have to pay one months salary or if your company will sack you they will pay you one month salary. You can opt this option that as per the terms of appointment letter clause no. kindly accept my resignation letter with immediate effect, and pay my dues after necessary statutory deduction and relieve me from my service. Your employer can not hold salary and other dues payable to you, give strong letter to your employer, because some employrs are not humble as you think

Dear All,

Answers to a few questions across the posts....

1. I worked with my previous organization(The one which is still withholding my salary) at a middle management level.

2. My previous employer is into contracting software resources to the giants like TCS, WIPRO etc. I worked with a lesser known client.

3. I have been completely clear with all the terms and conditions in the appointment letter, I am not joining any company who competes with them directly or indirectly and have done all possible things to ensure that there is nothing lacking at my end which the previous employer can use against me.

Eventually, I have decided to wait for some more time and then I am going to hit back. I would be sending an email to the some of the top brass of the company I was contracted to, tell them about my ex-employer and also disclose some of the closely guarded secrets which are not in favor of the contracting company. I am sure if I do this, they would lose more than I have. I am not sure how unethical would this be.... ;)

But, I would warn them before I do so, just to be courteous.
