Hello,
I was terminated by a company two months back but they dint issued me any termination letter. They sent me a formal mail to handover all the tasks to handover to them. It is a startup company with no HR. On mail they agreed me to pay my last month salary, my dues which were pending from last 4 months and 1 month notice period as well.But after handover, they started troubling me for my money. Now they are not even paying me my full salary and dues. They are asking me sign a resignation letter in which they mentioned my last day of working as 15 but my last day with them was 23rd. The letter also states that i asked them to waive off my notice period and hence they are accepting my resignation and they are saying that i will only be paid if i sign that letter.
I dont want to sign that letter as the things mentioned in the letter are not correct. They also called me twice to their office by saying that they will pay and then only pressurized me to sign the letter. Lastly i asked them to change the date in relieving letter and the i will say. But they are not happy with that as well. Now they are saying, i had taken too many unauthorized leaves and it was a case of bad performance, so they will not change anything. My total amount with them is around Rs 65000 and they are paying me only 11000 that too after signing that letter.
Please advise, how can i handle them. Is it correct if i will take a legal action.
