Dear sirs,
My name is Vineet and I am employed with a leading telecom MNC. I am a rehire here and joined it 10 months back.
I had myself applied for this job, considering the nice time and learning opportunity I had in its previous centre, and based upon my earlier performance, was offered.
But here I found situation to be much different and work culture diminished.Long hours, Back pain and red eyes became a regular problem.
Now I have got a job with another good firm and they want me to join as soon as possible.
1) I have 45 days notice period here and it is mentioned that I can pay salary in lieu of that if I do not wish to serve full notice period.
2) I gave them a 15 day notice period and sent my resignation through e-mail. But now my manager did not respond to this e-mail.
3) HR Manager and my manager both asked me to serve the full notice period. When I talked about buyout, they said "such a option does not exist", while it does exist as per my appointment letter.
4) They proposed to change me to a new project which is "supposed" to have a more work-life balance based working condition. But as I know that this project will also be managed by my current manager, who is, the only one responsible for spoiling culture of this company, I do not want to consider that.
Now as I have made up my mind to change company, ready to buy out notice period, does this company:
1) has legal rights to retain my experience letter?
2) has rights to not do my Full and Final settlement?
3) What legal action can I take against this company in case they do not give me my relieving cum experience letter and my dues?
The reason for not releasing me is said to be that they can not find a replacement of me and they do not have a mitigation plan.
But as this company has been unethical to by all means in my stay here, I do not wish to forfeit this good offer. Can they force me to stay legally on basis of such statements?
Please provide me you expert help. I am in urgent need of this.
Regards,
Vineet.
