Looking for advise from community on the legal remedies that may be available (as last resort) where there is a disagreement with employer, on exit formalities.
Employer had been given notice a month back about the intent to quit the current job. Employer is a startup who is financially and business-prospects wise is far from being in the pink of health.
Several employees have quit the organization, but myself being one of the remaining key senior executives, employer is threatening legal action, for non fulfillment of 3 months of notice period, or at least witholding relieving letter.
This, even though I am willing to pay to the organization, balance of renumeration for the shortfall of notice. However, present contract doesn't have such a provision mentioned explicitly.
Employer is citing absence of such clause and not letting go. The environment at work is extremely stressful, hostile and I have no wish to continue here.
My key concern is about getting the relieving letter and ensuring that IT deductions are submitted properly (s.t. next year Form-16 can be generated).
