Notice Period and Relieving Letter Issues
After serving a three-month notice period, you should have reminded your employer two months after submitting your resignation letter or at least one day before the end of the notice period. You should have obtained confirmation from the employer that you would be relieved at the end of the working hours on the last day of the notice period, which I believe you did not do.
Even after giving a 90-day notice, you worked for 20 days without receiving a relieving letter from your employer. Conveniently, your employer issued a backdated relieving letter. This action by the employer is malicious.
You are entitled to 20 days' salary if you attended all working days and wish to pursue your claim through legal means.
Details Required for Legal Recourse
Before providing a solution, please provide the following details:
- Did your employer deny salary even after you made a written representation demanding payment for the 20 days? Is there any written reply or email from the employer to support your claim?
- Did you keep a record of your attendance for the extra 20 days worked after the 90-day notice period had expired?
- Did you accomplish any significant work with a definite outcome during the additional 20 days?
- What is the nature of the business at your establishment, and what was your designation or nature of work?
- Does your employment fall under the Payment of Wages Act?
- Any other relevant details?
Upon receiving the above information, you will be guided on seeking legal recourse.
