Hi,
I have read through the discussions on the above matter and have the following to say:
1) Agreed that the HR is the dept that prepares the Full & Final settlement of the exiting employees, but at times, even the HR has its hands tied down due to negligence from the TL/Manager of the exiting employee.
2) Agreed that the clearance of statutory benefits lies in the hands of the HR, at times the main salary to be cleared is not given as the respective TL/Manager would like to hold on to it for reasons not known to the HR.
3) I disagree to the fact that the HR will hold on to facts about the dues pending for obvious reasons, but at times there are certain policies laid down by the company wherein it is not in the hands of the HR.
All in all, 99% of the time, the HR department is made to be the culprit in an unreasonable battle between the exiting employee & the company.
Friends, the HR dept is here for constant support and ensure that there is a harmonious atmosphere around the company.
Regards
Ashfaq
