Suspected Fraudster Resigned: Am I Legally Required to Give an Experience Certificate?

A person I suspect has committed fraud and is affecting our client. I don't have proof, but he is attempting to create a clean image. He recently resigned and is citing the law, claiming that if he completes the notice period, I am legally obligated to provide him with an experience certificate. Is this correct?

Dear,

There is no law that forces you to provide a service certificate to employees who have left the organization after serving the company. However, it is ethical to provide a service certificate to employees.

In your case, if you have proper evidence, then issue a chargesheet and initiate an inquiry. If your charge is proven, you can mention this in the service certificate.
