Terminated for Alleged Absconding: How Can I Clear My Name and Move Forward?

I had an accident and was on bed rest for 8 months. After getting back on my feet, I formally resigned, following all the proper channels. I received an experience letter that did not mention anything about absconding. However, my recent organization terminated me, citing that I had absconded. What should I do?

Hi, what about a relieving letter? Did your ex-employer provide you with the proper relieving letter?

Hi, Your termination executed by your current employer is not valid and is illegal.

Have you explained your situation?

Have you explained to them that you have a proper relieving cum experience certificate? I won't suggest you fight for reinstatement of employment. But if they terminated you without any notice, you can fight for the notice period pay. You may write a letter to them and post it through RPAD.

I have submitted all required documents at the time of joining. However, after two months, they asked for a show cause letter, in which I informed them. After the show cause, they sent me a termination letter. When I asked for the source of information regarding my abscondence, they did not share the source. I have already spoken to my previous organization, and they said that if I had absconded, I would not receive an experience cum relieving letter.

Your termination is void and illegal as per the information provided by you. You need to challenge this by referring the matter to the labor office or court, depending on your position. It would be advisable to seek consultation before replying to the show cause notice.

Your information is incomplete.

1. Was the accident connected with your work?
2. Did you communicate to them that you would be unable to work for 8 months?
3. Why did you resign after you got well? Were you paid a salary during the months you were bedridden?

You were given an experience letter that was clear; obviously, the company did not want to affect your future job prospects. What exactly was the actual problem?

If you resigned, why did they send a termination instead of accepting your resignation?
