Leaving a Job for Studies: Can I Still Get My Experience and Relieving Letter?

Hope the community is doing well.

I have been associated with an organization for the past year and am resigning to pursue higher studies. I am prepared to bear the bond amount (service agreement made for 2 years), serve the one-month notice period, and buy out an additional 2 months if necessary. Will I be denied the experience and relieving letter even after following the norms? If denied, are there any legal avenues to pursue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ravi, it is welcome that you are resigning from the organization to pursue higher studies. On the other hand, it is equally important that your sudden decision of disassociation should not affect the organization adversely. You have positively stated that you are ready to bear the cost of the bond. This states your clear mind with no second thoughts. However, it thoroughly depends on the organization to relieve you or not, considering the business loss for the organization, the substitution/replacement process, and the complexity of your work profile.

They cannot deny the relieving if all the above aspects go smoothly because once they issue a relieving letter to you, your legal relationship of employee-employer gets concluded along with all legal liabilities towards the organization. Legal proceedings, I don't think, will make any stand in the court of law because the court gives decisions based on practical facts and not on hypothetical questions.

Regards, Ravi
