An employee submitted their resignation, and after the service period, the Head of Department (HoD) claims not to have received any letter. Now, HR is asking the employee to resubmit the resignation letter and work through the notice period again. The manager is using abusive language and threatening not to issue a relieving letter or to draft a letter stating that the employee is a fraud. Even today, the manager asked the employee to leave without accepting the resignation letter. HR advises obtaining the HoD's signature, while the HoD directs the employee to contact the HR department. It seems they are playing a game of passing responsibility.

Send a resignation letter by post with acknowledgment due and copy to your HOD's HOD. Do not worry about the threat of him saying you are a fraud, etc. If he states falsehoods or defamatory statements, the law of the land will be against him. Follow the laid-down procedure for resignation, and the company cannot hold you if you do not wish to continue. Awkward behavior can delay your resignation but not stop it.

Procedure for Resignation

An employee need not be afraid if he is genuine on his part. Please review the terms and conditions outlined in your appointment letter. What procedure for resignation is mentioned there?

Please ensure that the employee followed this procedure. If the employee provided a resignation intimation via email to all concerned persons, then he must have a copy of the same in the sent items. If this has not been done yet, then please send the email and specify the actual date of resignation. If only a written letter has been given, then obtain an acknowledgment on another copy of the same.

You can also ask in an email on what basis anyone is threatening you with fraud charges, and CC the concerned person's Reporting Manager as well.
