Notice Period Completed But Relieving And Exit Formalities Not Done

Hello Friends,

I am having one doubts regarding relieving and exit formalities. Actually I am having 3.6 years of IT Experience. As per company norms the notice period is 30 days. I submitted my resignation to my manager and HR. They asked me to serve the notice period which is 30 days. I began to start working in the notice period, but my manager and HR didn’t tell me the relieving date and exit formalities. I completed my notice period and asked them about relieving date. After lot of mail and oral conversations I got the same reply from my HR and Manager “Please wait we will check and update you”. In the mean time I got an offer from CMM Level 4 Company. I told my HR and manager about this offer and asked them to relieve me. They simply told me to leave that offer and advised me to work for another 2 months. I didn’t get salary too. I described the situation to HR of the new company. He asked me to bring bank statements, P.F No, and resignation copy mail and advised me to join immediately. After completing my notice period and joined in that new company. My old HR refusing to provide the relieving letter and Service certificate. In my new company there is no issue. My doubts are

1. Whether this incident will disqualify me for attending interviews in TCS ,IBM

2. Onsite opportunities

Please help me I am confused a lot.

Hi Arul,

Yes, it will harm your professional career. I recommend requesting a relieving letter from your old company's HR immediately. If they are causing any problems, you can consult a union or the labor department and explain the issues you are facing with your employer.

Hi Arul,

In case there is no shortage from your end, your old company cannot hold your exit letters legally. You can approach the labor commission and send them a legal notice. I have 9 years of experience in IT companies, and this pretty well works.

Dear [Recipient],

As per certified standing orders/model standing orders, it is your right to receive the experience certificate, which will be required by you in due course. I am sorry to say that most IT companies do not have a professional approach. Additionally, their HR departments lack qualified workforces. It is shameful on the part of HR when they do not even follow the laws of the land.

Please send a legal notice through an advocate regarding your salary and experience letter. If they do not comply after receiving the legal notice, consider filing a case in civil court. The labor court may not entertain your case as you do not fall under the definition of a workman.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
