Am I Still Employed? Navigating Dual Employment Concerns After Leaving Without Notice

Hello everyone, I need an opinion from you. Last year, I left the company without giving any notice period. I just submitted my resignation and left the company within 2 days. I joined a new company afterward, and that company did not request a relieving letter from my previous company. Now, after 6 months of leaving my previous company, I checked my PF account, and it is showing zero contribution for the last 6 months, and I am unable to mark my exit date in that company.

Does that mean I am still employed with my previous company?

Is this a case of dual employment? Will it cause any problems in the future if I want to join a new company?

The reason I left the company without giving notice

I was in the probation period, and there was no clause of a notice period during probation. I also spoke to the HR person, and he informed me that they had not accepted my resignation, but they did not send me any formal mail or notice regarding that.

Please advise me on what I should do in this case.

If you have resigned, the resignation is not subject to their acceptance. Under Indian law, there is no concept of forced employment. The legal rights that the company may have against you would be for breach of contract or failure to give notice period (both would be claims for compensation and not claims of specific performance).

Therefore, their failure to accept your resignation does not mean you are still working there.

Updating Your Exit Date on the PF Portal

PF portal now allows employees to mark their own exit dates. This link should help you. Otherwise, the HR in your new company will tell you what to do.
