Waiting for My Relieving Letter and Salary: What Should I Do Next?

Dear all,

I need your suggestion. I have resigned from my previous company on 19th July 2008, but I have not yet received my relieving letter and salary. Kindly suggest what I should do because I have called them and emailed many times. Additionally, one week ago, I sent a letter by speed post, but they did not give any feedback. Please reply.

Dear Neetu,

If you have submitted your resignation and been officially relieved by the company, they should provide you with your salary and a relieving letter. If this condition has not been met, consider sending them a legal notice.

Thank you,

Hi Neetu,

The salary for the month of July would not be paid to you as you have resigned on 19th July '08. The amount for the number of days you have worked would be paid to you in full and final settlement, which will take 45-60 days from the date the employee's resignation has been uploaded in company records. The relieving letter would be issued only after full and final settlement is made. Meet the concerned HR person and find out when your full and final settlement would be made to get your relieving letter.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Tanu

Dear Nitu,

You did not tell anything about the procedure to be followed in getting the acceptance of your resignation. Generally, in any company, the services of any employee can be terminated by either side by giving one month's notice or paying salary in lieu of notice. In your case, you are saying that you worked in July and tendered your resignation on the 19th. You also did not inform us whether you worked in the company after submitting your resignation up to the completion of the notice period or not. Furthermore, in some companies, it is common practice to have a service agreement with the employee. In your case, it is not clear whether you have such an agreement with the company or not.

In the normal course, no employer is against accepting the resignation of any employee unless that employee fails to fulfill their obligations towards the company as per the service agreement or appointment order.

If you have followed the procedure and fulfilled all your obligations for the acceptance of your resignation, then the management has no choice but to accept your resignation and relieve you from their services. If they bluntly refuse to accept your resignation for any reason, then you should personally approach your boss, explain the reasons that led to your resignation, and request acceptance. If there is no positive response, you need not worry and can leave the company's services by sending another letter stating that you are no longer a part of their organization since you have already submitted your resignation. Request settlement of your final account promptly; failure to do so may result in necessary legal action for the recovery of the money owed to you, including salary for the days you worked in July, etc.

Dear Neetu,

As you have already resigned from the company, you will not receive the salary, but it will be paid to you as full and final settlement. This full and final settlement will take at least a month. After the full and final settlement is done, you will receive the relieving and service certificates.

However, as a standard practice, the company should provide you with a Resignation Acceptance letter, stating that the resignation has been accepted and the relieving letter will be handed over to you after the full and final settlement.
