How to Address Employee Claims for LTA, Medical, and PF After Resignation

Clarification Regarding LTA, Medical, and PF Claims

Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to address the recent claims you have made regarding LTA, Medical, and PF benefits after your resignation from the company.

As you may be aware, our company, based in Dubai, with a small presence in India, does not fall under the category of PF as per the local laws. Therefore, the claims you are making in this regard are not valid.

We understand your concerns and appreciate your dedication during your four years with us. However, it is important to clarify the eligibility criteria for benefits based on the specific regulations that govern our operations.

Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

We appointed the employee on 30th November 2015, and he resigned on 15th August 2020. We provided Annexure A with parts A and B. Part A is fixed, and he receives it every month without any deduction. However, for Part B, which includes LTA, Medical Scheme, and PF, he is requesting the accumulated amount.

The company is a Dubai-based firm with 3-4 employees in the India office; hence, it does not fall under the PF category. He has never submitted any bills or leave emails for LTA and Medical (I think, as per the rule, he needs to claim every 2 years block, or it gets waived off).

The company has never deducted any PF amount from his salary or shown it in the payslips. Can he ask for employer contribution? If yes, what about the employee contribution that was never deducted?

Is he eligible to claim this amount? If yes, can anybody claim such a significant amount after 4 years?

Can the employer deny all his claims?
