Early Release and Missing Documents: How to Handle Salary Withholding and Delayed Settlements?

I want some info.

Early Release and Salary Withholding

1. I resigned from my previous company. I requested to be relieved early, and they accepted that. They have withheld my 1 month and 10 days' salary. Because they released me early, do I still have to pay for the number of days I did not work?

Final Settlement Delay

2. I resigned from my previous company 9 months ago, and the Final Settlement has not been completed yet. What actions can be taken?

Missing Documents Issue

3. Now they are saying that the documents might be missing. Please advise on the actions that can be taken against the company.

Steps to Resolve Final Settlement Issues

First and foremost, the initial action required is to go and meet the responsible person who is handling the full and final settlement. If they are not providing a satisfactory response, then escalate the issue to senior management, including the HR Head. Make sure to copy them on any email communication.

It is possible that the paperwork has been misplaced, so there is no need to be anxious. Simply inquire about the necessary formalities from your end.

Continue to follow up with them, and if the issue remains unresolved, you may need to seek legal advice.

Without detailed information about your company, it is challenging to offer specific advice.

Best wishes.

Well, missing paperwork is not a valid reason or issue for delaying the FNF. If the papers are missing, the responsible parties should be held accountable. There must be an alternative way to resolve the situation through mutual understanding.

Steps to Resolve Missing Paperwork Issues

Initially, send an email to the Head of HR and copy the CEO and MD, detailing the situation and requesting a response. If there is still no response, you can seek assistance from the labor officer in that area.

Please refer to your appointment letter or service terms for information regarding your notice period. If the notice period remains unserved, your salary may be subject to deductions accordingly. Therefore, it is important to verify your current status in this regard.

Regarding Your Full and Final (F&F) Settlement

As previously advised, it is recommended to initiate a direct discussion on the matter. If no favorable outcome is reached, you are encouraged to submit a detailed application to the employer, with a copy provided to the relevant Labor Officer. Following this step, you should consider exploring further legal options and seek advice from an expert on the necessary course of action.

Kind regards,

Notice Period Salary Deduction

If there is a shortfall in the notice period, the employer can deduct your salary for the same.

Steps to Complete Final Settlement

If your Final Settlement (F&F) is not being processed due to missing paperwork, visit and meet the concerned person in the company to seek advice on how to proceed. If the advice given is acceptable and believable, follow it and wait for a response. However, make sure to document all activities in writing as proof for future reference. Initially, try to avoid taking legal action, but don't resign without proper legal procedures in place.

As Kknair suggested, it's not possible to give advice before knowing the terms and conditions of your Appointment Letter. Generally, in many organizations, they do not show much interest regarding the final settlement of an employee if the employee is not showing much interest. So, you have to contact the related personnel from your side. I know that it is their duty to settle your account, but it also requires your involvement.

The reason you have given is not justified. If this is a fact, they should solve it. Definitely, there is something else, which you can find out after asking. Remember one thing: never hesitate to ask. The final settlement of left employees is the duty of the organization. If they are not doing so, they are inviting problems.

Non-settlement of the account means there are a lot of things they have to give the employee. So, do not worry. If possible, show me your Appointment Letter, or take the assistance of a legal professional in the worst case.
