I recently left my job on 1.10.13, but I have not yet received my full and final amount or the relieving letter. What should I do now? Please assist me promptly.

Thank you.

First of all, I want to inform you that you should not have left the company without obtaining your relieving letter and experience letter. I advise you to contact your previous employer and request these documents from them. If they refuse to provide them, you can escalate the matter to the Director of the company or any authorized personnel. If the issue remains unresolved, you may consider seeking assistance from the Labour Commissioner (ALC) in your area and explain the entire situation.

Please let me know if you need any further guidance or assistance.

Thank you.

But sir, they are saying that your relieving letter and amount will be given to you within 45 days after relieving.

Full and Final Settlement in Employment

Are you working in a factory or an office? In most cases, the law states that the full and final settlement needs to be done within 30 days. Out of that, the amount due for salary/wages must be paid within 2 working days from the date of termination. The law is silent on the matter of delays in the issuance of a relieving letter.

Then you need to check with the Shop and Establishment Act of your state. It will have a section on resignation and termination that will outline specific requirements, such as the number of days within which they need to provide your full and final settlement.
