Hello Everybody,
I would like to seek your help.
I have joined an Engineering firm in Ahmedabad in Feb 2007. In my appointment order, it was mentioned that I would be on probation for 6 months, which could be extended to one year. Probation would not exceed a year. Confirmation should be provided in writing. The notice period is 24 hours/1 month for probation/confirmed. After completing 6 months, I was informed that issuing a confirmation letter for higher-level personnel (GM) was unnecessary. After one year, I reminded them again about issuing the confirmation letter. I even discussed my career plan and the increase in monetary benefits with the Chairman cum Managing Director, along with the confirmation letter. He mentioned that we could sit and finalize it. During that year, my performance was very good, as acknowledged by the CMD himself. I awaited the meeting eagerly. However, by the end of July, I had not received any salary increase or confirmation letter.
At the end of July, when I visited my native place on leave, I was severely affected by back pain. The doctor advised me to take 4 weeks of bed rest and mentioned it might take more time to fully recover. Additionally, family issues arose, compelling me to stay back.
Hence, on August 8th, I decided to submit my resignation letter along with a medical certificate explaining the reasons and requesting an early release.
Subsequently, I did not receive any communication for a month. By September 10th, I received a settlement account statement, Form 16 for the period till July, and a cheque for the remaining amount. They deducted one month's salary as the notice period. I requested them to reverse this deduction since I was still in probation and not subject to a one-month notice period.
I also asked them to send me my P.F papers (including contributions from both the employee and employer).
Now, almost three months have passed. I have sent more than 6 emails to their HR Head, but I have not received any reply, nor have they sent my P.F papers.
At this point, I am considering whether to write to the CMD or take legal action. This is the first time in my career of over 25 years that I am facing such a situation. I would appreciate any advice on how to resolve this matter in a win-win situation.
Karthik.
