Hi
I was serving a bond with xyz company. I broke the bond before completion. As against I also paid the bond amount to company. Hence no liability.
Now company gave me only reliving letter and did not give experience letter. Nothing is specified in contract that on breaking a contract you will not get experience letters etc...
By following bond and company policies I did pay the amount. Now I want experience letter as well.
What should I do ?? Please put your valuable comments.
Thanks.

Dear Yogesh, Write to the management asking for an experience certificate.If need be, meet the HOD of HR or the CEO in person and make a personal request.

Dear umakanthan,
Thanks for reply. This happened in year 2012 when I left that company. I joined an MNC after that who accepted all my documents including bond thing. Now I m joining 3rd company where concerned person is asking for experience letter from 1st employer (where I was serving bond).
In 2012 when I was in notice I had many mails and personal discussions as well.
In all meetings at that time they are saying that it is not in the policy so we cannot issue the experience letter. Where as no policy clearly specifies that if candidate breaks the bond he should not be given the experience letter.

Dear Yogesh,
Does your relieving letter mentions the last day of working and the designation that you were working on. Most of the times the HR will give you relieving letter and experience letter as a combo. Therefore check the same. You may have a relieving letter and experience letter in the firs place.

Dear ashutosh,
Thanks for your reply.
Company claims that as you break the bond we will not give experience letter. As per bond conditions o paid the money as well.
My reliving letter only has end date and designation at the time of leaving company. No start date.
Also please go through original post as well.
I want to get my exp letter as my next employer is asking for it. My offer is on hold because I don't have exp letter. what should I do?

Dear member,
you have no problem with the bond because you have already paid as per the bond. the nature of the bond is not clear in the query. if it is for imparting special training and the company spends for this then and then alone the bond will be valid. the Delhi high court has held that once a Pepsi not always a Pepsi. You are entitled to a Service Certificate. Therefore immediately write to the management.

Dear srinivas,
Thanks for your reply.
This happened in 2012 when I left this company. I had 3 months notice in which I wrote lot of escalation mails to HR and their mangers and their managers. But all the people denied to give me the letter under the name POLICY.
I read all the policies as well as my contract terms. It is not written anywhere that if an employee breaks the bond he will not get experience/service letter.
Company is trying to stick to some unhidden or myth policies.
All the company employees respond in similar way which is not acceptable.
Is there any other way by which I can get my letter. Because after writing they are responding in similar way.

Dear friends,
In the past, I used to wonder about certain general practices relating to treatment of employees above the level of workman followed in Private Sector employment and assuage myself that it was the rule of thumb and the fact of employees affected by such practices eventually becoming thick-skinned and impervious in due course partly because of the dearth of alternative employment in their place of choice and partly because of their their lack of employability.But, there is a seachange in the past quarter of the century in the state of affairs. Highly qualified youngsters pregnant with the passion for meeting challenges and cornering achievements flood the realm of private employment and mostly the mediocre dictated by the sense of security and psudo-pride prefer the monotonous Government employment. The managements also place more importance to the potentials of a prospective job-seeker rather than his experience.Such being the scenario, I have to be again wonder-stuck with the peculiar episode of Yogesh.I think both his erstwhile employer and the prospective one refuse to come out of their Victorean mind-set of empty formalities. He left the said Company in 2012 after fulfilling one of the conditions of unilateral termination on his part probably mentioned in the bond and in acceptance of the same by the erstwhile employer he was duly relieved.So, the question of breaking the bond does not arise for the management's covert refusal to issue the experience certificate. Perhaps, his resignation was due to his recruitment and subsequent appointment in the MNC. As such, there is no perceptible break in his career.So, I am at a loss to understand why the prospective employer insists upon the experience certificate by the penultimate employer. Had the Company gone out of existence, what he would do? Better, Yogesh explains the facts to the prospective employer to convince him and ask him to verify his so-journ with that company; if not dare enough to issue a legal notice to the erstwhile employer for experience certificate. At least, the reply will vouchsafe his experience with the former.

Apart from what Mr. Umakanthan has given his view, would recommend you to show your appointment and relieving letter which may suffice your experience/service certificate.
