How Should I Resign from a Job Without an Appointment Letter and Unpaid Salary?

I joined as a Senior Accountant in a private limited company a month ago. They have not provided me with an appointment letter, nor did I request one. However, after completing a month, I inquired about my salary on 8th October. They informed me that they currently lack the funds to pay me but will do so once available.

I do not wish to continue working here any longer. Could you please suggest what steps I should take and what notice period I need to provide for my resignation?

Kindly provide me with the format for the Appointment Letter and Resignation Letter as per the applicable laws regarding salary matters.

Thank you for your assistance and guidance in this matter.

I am sorry to hear that you have not received your salary. You have the option of sending a legal notice to them for payment; however, it seems that you do not have any documentary proof of employment. Nevertheless, do send them a legal notice.

Resignation and Appointment Letters

There is no standard letter of resignation, nor is there a standard format for an appointment letter. You may send your resignation letter by speed post, stating that you were appointed as [designation] on [date and year], and are resigning as you have not been paid your salary.

Also, mention that no notice period is applicable as you were on probation, as informed during the interview.

Do not send a resignation letter. Instead, write a complaint to the Labor Officer in the Labor Department, and also to the Welfare Officer in the ESI Department, and the Social Security Officer in the PF Department. Describe your situation and seek assistance.
