Can I Take Legal Action for Not Receiving an Appointment Letter Before Being Let Go?

Hi, I worked with myZealit from the 6th of July 2015 to the 27th of July 2015. Every day, I asked for my appointment letter, but they said they would give it to me the next day and never did. I was in the night shift, and HR was in the morning shift, stating they were waiting for approval. I have the offer letter and confirmation via email. Today, I received a call from HR stating that due to our process being ramped down, I could either leave without pay or resign. They mentioned that my salary would come in full and final. However, how can that happen when I don't have an appointment letter? Can I take any legal action against them?

Subject: Urgent Issue Regarding Employment Status

Dear HR, I am writing to bring to your attention the recent developments concerning my employment with the company. I have attached the emails containing my confirmation and offer letter for your reference. Please note my date of joining as mentioned in the documentation. Additionally, I kindly request you to include any emails exchanged during my tenure at the company. It is important to forward these emails from my company email address to my personal Gmail account to safeguard against the potential loss of communication records in case of email deletion by the HR department.

I would like to inform you that I have received a communication regarding a potential change in my employment status. I seek clarification on the seriousness of this matter. Is it standard company procedure to require employees to take unpaid leave or face forced resignation? Could you please confirm the timeline for settling any outstanding dues?

Having communication records from the company email system can serve as concrete evidence of my employment status, which becomes crucial especially if there are attempts to deny my association with the company due to the resignation request.

In the event of resignation, I will ensure to retain a duly acknowledged copy for my records, as this documentation will serve as proof of my employment status. While documents like the joining letter are essential, having a recognized record of the resignation process is equally vital.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

Sincerely

Since you got a mail from them asking you to resign, it indicates that they have virtually taken on roles. However, what will you gain from fighting against a company for just 20 days of your presence? Also, the conditions of appointment are not known. Normally, there is a probation period of 6 months before which you cannot take any legal action. Your 20 days do not carry any recognition or weight anywhere. The best option is to resign, take the full month's pay, and walk away. The pay slip and your copy of the resignation letter are just on records that you worked there. That's it.
