Sir,

I am working in a private company, and before completing my probation period (6 months), I have given my resignation. In this condition, am I eligible for experience certificates? I have given my resignation in my 5th month of probation.

Dear Mr. Jomon,

Since you have served your employer for 6 months or less, regardless of your employment norms/conditions (probation or permanent), and as long as you were under the payroll of your employer, you can seek an experience letter. The primary objective of an EXPERIENCE LETTER is to validate your actual service period and the OFFER LETTER you received.

Along with your relieving letter, please collect your experience certificate from your current employer.

With profound regards,

A probation is a period where the employee will surely pay you the salary or put you on the role. The name probation came into existence because you are still a learner, and the employer has no commitment to retain you or give you a position that is agreed upon. It is always provided based on how well you performed during your probation.

Read through the offer letter and the terms of your probation. If they guaranteed anywhere in the offer letter that this position is permanent and not dependent on your performance to make this job permanent, I agree with what Shaik has mentioned.

Friend,

First of all, why do you need an experience certificate from an organization where you were unable to complete probation?

Secondly, you are already in possession of your offer letter/appointment letter and payslips of all the months you worked. All of these should be sufficient to testify your purpose.

Warm regards, Sourav Mukherjee

Dear Vivek,

Probation is not applicable only to those who join the company for the first time but is applicable when an employee is given a new assignment, including a promotion. It is a period during which his ability to perform the work at desired standards is evaluated. Therefore, there is nothing wrong in putting an employee under probation when he is given a promotion. That doesn't mean that if he resigns he cannot get any experience letter. Therefore, unless otherwise provided in the certified standing orders of the company or the appointment letter, a probationer is eligible to get a service certificate from the employer. This is applicable when an employee is terminated during the period of probation also.

Subject: Resignation During Probation

Mr. Jomon,

It is not known from the details furnished by you whether your company is covered under the model standing orders framed under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, and whether you fall within the category of 'workman' under Sec.2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. If so, the model standing orders normally contain a provision regarding the service certificate. For example, the model standing order (1) framed under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Central Rules, 1946, stipulates that every workman is entitled to a service certificate. If your company is covered under the model standing orders of the state in which it is located, you have to refer to them to ascertain this aspect.

Irrespective of whether or not you are covered by the Standing Orders Act and the model standing orders, you have an inherent right to a service certificate from the employer for the service rendered by you even during probation.

Hi,

Resignation during probation and the experience certificate are two separate issues. The employer cannot deny the experience certificate for the service rendered during the probation period. As well said by Mr. Saikumar, you have the right to seek an experience certificate.

Dear Sir, I would like to know the difference between Resignation and Notice Period given to the company and what is the implication in both the cases? Nilesh

Hi,

Resignation is a letter intimating the employer about leaving the service for good. A resignation letter may or may not contain a notice period. The notice period is a part of the resignation and specifies the period up to which the individual would be in service. In other words, it specifically states when the individual would leave the service.

Dear Mr. Kumar,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. Further to this, I would like to know if someone gives notice, are they entitled to a whole month's salary even if the notice is accepted with immediate effect?

Hey friends,

Hi, I am Sanjay Tanna from Gandhinagar, Gujarat. I was working in a Private Limited Company as a Sales Manager. Due to some official problems before the probation period of 90 days, I left the company by resigning. I am asking for my salary, but the company is only giving me a salary of Rs. 4,000 for June 2012, instead of Rs. 33,400 as per the sales target. However, by the 30th of June 2012, I had not received any sales target from the company. My question is, can I take legal action against the company?

Thanks,
Sanjay Tanna

Dear Sir,

I am Sunil Kumar. I would like to know if I don't receive a confirmation letter from the company even after completing 11 months in the same company, am I still unconfirmed or automatically confirmed with the issuance of a confirmation or extension letter? Is it mandatory for the employee to receive a copy of the confirmation or extension? Please let me know.

Were you on probation? What does your appointment letter say regarding confirmation of the job and probation period? If you were on probation, the company should provide a letter after conducting a review of performance. In the interest of equity and accountability, periodic reviews of performance should have been conducted by your line manager or other supervisory authority to assess your suitability, progress, etc.
