Left Organization After Serving More Than Notice Period, But Didn't Handed Over Stuffs Officially

Greeting Seniors,

I had given my resignation on hard copy which was not accepted by my senior, then after 3 days I official send him my resignation via my company ID marking my personal ID in copy mentioning the 3 days before i have discussed on my resignation and given them my last working day, which was 8th Aug, 2014. After 2 days i asked for reply from management on my relieving date. The reply was "please adhere to company rules". After few days i have been told verbally that my last working day will by 11th Aug, 2014.

On my last working i have been told to wait and my relieving date has been postponed due long pending work which was left by one the employee 5 months back.

Without any notice or prior information how a company can postpone relieving date on last working day?

I accepted on verbal note the extension on of 2-3 days and support to complete the work. on 14th Aug, i again asked for my last working day but company didn't replied on it.

On 20th Aug i send a mail to HR saying whatever work was pending i has been completed to my knowledge and i have decided to consider my last working on the same day.

I was not given any clearance form to hand over my laptop, admin stuff and i left the organization without official hand over.

My concern is on the above basis can the company hold my F&F? If yes then what is the solution? and If No then what should i do further? Because as per my understanding the extension and workload was given to me purposely to hold me back without paying any salary or say to salve me.

Please share your valuable comment and advice.

Dear Pankaj,
Whats the official rule in regards to the notice period? What does your appointment letter say?
Why have you taken verbal extension of the notice period or most importantly why you did not reply back to the management through mail in regards to the verbal discussion you had with the management or HOD?
Have your prepared the handover documents and was the work which was left pending by an employee 5 months before assigned to you when he left/absconded?
Answer these queries so that the forum is in a better situation to help you.

Official rule regards to Notice Period is One Month.

During the verbal discussion they mentioned that it was on me when would my last work day. i mean, as soon as i finish my work i can consider that day my last working day.

I did the same thing, all the work done was forwarded to HOD in writing and on last day i clearly mentioned on my mail that as the owrk is done from my side i have consider 2oth aug as my last day. On which HR asked the HOD to confirm if everything is OK, but he did replied on it.



Handover Documents were already given before, just my laptop and admin stuff weer pending. But at the time of verbal discussion HR had clearly mentioned to my HOD that please do not let me take my laptop to home and i suggest that i will keep my laptop and other official stuff inside my cabin, will lock it and handover the keys to HOD on daily basis. This was agreed.

I want to know can company hold my F&F? and what else action they can take.

Also i would like to add, i was having a joining date on 18th Aug to other company and this was communicated to management. But management refuse to relieve me and extend my notice period further as said. On 20th Aug , I got msg from other company that they have cancelled my appointment and are looking for other option.

They same i communicated with management, that now i am unemployed, who will be responsible for this? "Did i asked right Question"

When you were aware that the Notice Period is 1 month, then how come you commit your future employer a date earlier for joining. Documentation is a part and parcel of Handover which was not done from your end. Please do visit your old company and request if they can take you back, since its better to have job then unemployed.
