Dear Sirs,
I request your guidance and help.
I worked as Senior Manager in the International Business department and was performing exceptionally well in my role with utmost responsibility and accountability. I have traveled and stayed in various parts of Asian and African countries for months at a stretch, successfully closing many multi-million dollar deals with multi-year contracts.
During these trips, I always adhered to the HR per diem policy for international trips and submitted all original bills to the company. For client entertainment at senior levels such as SVPs and EVPs, I incurred INR 400,000 in liquor bills during these extended trips of more than 3 months, all paid using my personal credit card. After securing the business deals, I submitted the bills to the company. However, my direct senior, the head of the department, had an argument with me and refused to clear the bills.
Due to the mental harassment by the department head, I resigned during my overseas trip, served the required notice period of 2 months, and utilized my Privilege leave of 52 days. The department head instructed the HR and Finance team to deduct the INR 400,000 bills I submitted from my full and final settlement. It is important to note that although I submitted the bills, the entire amount of INR 400,000 was paid using my personal credit card. Furthermore, the HR informed me via email that there is a recovery of INR 75,000 that I owe to the company after the deduction of INR 400,000.
I sought clarification from the HR and Finance departments regarding the recovery and how they could deduct money that I personally paid with my credit card. Despite escalating the matter to the CEO, I received a double standard reply.
Currently, they are withholding my relieving letter and threatening legal action against me. Additionally, the same department head is tarnishing my reputation among the current partners of the company. When I raised objections to such unfair and unethical practices, I did not receive any satisfactory answers. The HR and Finance teams are communicating via email to resolve the matter and seek clarification from the department head.
I seek your help as this concerns my hard-earned money spanning over 2 months, and I am the sole breadwinner for my family. Due to personal reasons, the ex-company senior is engaging in unethical behavior. I possess all the necessary documentary evidence, yet I am struggling to retrieve my money. I am considering hiring a lawyer as I am unable to focus on a new job due to this mental harassment, which has left me highly stressed and depressed.
I await your guidance and input. I reside in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.
Thank you.
