Issuance Or Relieving Letter

Hi,
Our company procedure
Once
1. The Employee gives Resignation thro HOD
2. HR Dept preparing No due Certificate Format & Declaration (Admin, Accounts, HOD and Final HR Dept) after approval from Management HR Dept preparing F & F settlement
3. Last Day They will get F &Fand Releving Order
Hope this is correct

As a lawyer I would like to say that the relieving letter or the service certificate should e issued only at the time of full and final settlement to the employee. otherwise the employee can receive the service certificate and join some othe company and then not accept the full and final settlement and demand for more.

After an employee resigns and while serving a notice period (normally 1 to 3 months), there is ample time to make a full and final statement. Why wait till one week left for service. Start immediately for F&F settlement. Ask every one and the employee himself, if he owes any thing to the company (Library books, mobile, laptop, vehicle, loan, advance, keys, etc.). If an employee fails to return the Company's belongings, the value of the same can be deducted from his F&FP.
As per law, all dues of the employee are to be given to him on his last working day together with the Service (not experience) Certificate and relieving Letter.
