Background of Employment and Resignation
After serving more than 11 years at Continental Carbon India Ltd, I resigned. I accepted and served the notice period, handed over all documents and laptop, and submitted duly signed gratuity and superannuation fund claim forms. I was properly relieved on 5th September 2018. The HR manager assured me that he would clear the full and final settlement dues within 3 to 4 days.
Delay in Settlement and Allegations
I continuously followed up with HR over the phone for my dues and requested the processing of the payment. After 15 days, I sent an email to HR, MD, and CFO regarding the full and final settlement dues. The next day, I received a reply stating that I had forwarded the company's confidential information to competitors, causing financial loss to the company. They mentioned that an investigation was ongoing, which is why my dues were on hold. They also stated that civil/criminal proceedings could be initiated against me for sending emails to my personal email ID.
Response to Allegations
I replied to HR, reiterating that I did not share any confidential information with anyone. I explained that the emails in my personal mail ID contained personal items like photos, Excel reference worksheets, knowledge documents downloaded from the internet, my salary records, etc. I confirmed that an IT person had reviewed the same emails and deleted some with my assistance. I expressed that this issue was intentionally fabricated by the Plant Head.
Seeking Advice
It has now been almost 4 months, and my dues are still pending. I seek advice on how to expedite the clearance of my outstanding dues.
