How Can I Ensure My Employer Pays My Salary After Resignation Dispute?

Hi, I resigned from my job and was prepared to serve the official notice period (30 days). I sent my resignation email to my reporting boss and HR, informing them that I was ready to serve the notice period. However, they deactivated my official email ID immediately after receiving my resignation email and asked me to leave the company immediately. They did not instruct me to do the Knowledge Transfer (KT) work, but I took personal initiative and completed the KT with HR before leaving.

Now, they are claiming that I did not serve the notice period and did not complete the KT, so they refuse to pay my salary or provide a relieving letter. Additionally, they have not acknowledged my resignation via email.

Please advise me on the appropriate course of action to ensure I receive my salary.

Please escalate the issue to the highest HR authority within the company and allow for a one-month period to see progress. If there is no improvement during this time frame, you are advised to contact the Labor Enforcement officer in your area to address the matter.

Thank you.

Regards,

Questions to Consider

What is KT work? Was your resignation in writing? Do you have proof that it was delivered? Was your relieving from the company officially communicated to you? Did you send an email or something to confirm the same? Deactivation of the email ID may be just a part of the procedure to prevent loss or diversion of data. But did they tell you specifically not to come to the office or that you are relieved? Is there any proof that you have completed a handover?

Employer's Erratic Behavior and Your Rights

Let such types of employers behave erratically, but your rights under the relevant law cannot be curtailed because of it. You will be deemed to have been relieved after 30 days. If the employer does not pay your salary for the last month or provide a relieving letter, send a representation to the inspector under the Shops and Establishment Act or a similar authority of the governing Act to obtain these.
