How Do I Handle My F&F Settlement and PF Deductions After Leaving Early?

Dear Seniors, In my previous company, there was no HR person who could take care of F&F settlement. Therefore, I would appreciate all your guidance to help me in this matter. I submitted my resignation on 29th July and left the organization on 20th August (a shortfall of 9 days). To date, I have not received any F&F amount.

PF Deduction Inquiry

My basic salary in my last organization was Rs. 9510, and they used to deduct Rs. 1141 for PF. I am curious to know if there will be any PF deduction since I didn't work for the entire month of August. If so, how much will be deducted considering I only worked for 20 days?

Please provide me with your valuable feedback on this matter.

Thanks and Regards,
Gaya

Dear Gaya,

The PF will be deducted. So, if you have worked for 20 days, then 9510/31*20*12% will be your PF deduction.

Coming to F&F, if HR is not there, it is normally done by the accounts people. So, contact your accounts team. Also, check with the appointment letter clause to know the repercussions regarding short serving of the notice period.

Dear Ashutosh,

Thank you for your reply. I also wanted to know for how many days I will receive the salary - for 20 days or for 11 days (20-9=11) because they are telling me that it will be for 11 days, which I don't understand why.

If it says in your appointment letter that there is a salary recovery if you do not complete your notice period, then 9 days' salary is being recovered from you. So, 20 days (working) - 9 days (short notice) = 11 days' salary. They are recovering the salary for the short notice.

So now the PF deduction will be 9510/31 * 11 * 12%.

Read your appointment letter clauses clearly to understand the terms and conditions as you would have signed them when you joined them.
