Relieving Letter [Thread 96626]

Hi,
One of my friend was working with Dell and resigned in Feb 2004. He served his notice period, however he does not have any proof (resignation email, acceptance letter). The company is treating him as No call no show case. Is there a way where he can apply for jobs without this experience. And also is there a way how he can get a relieving letter from the Company. Please suggest.

Dear HR Friend,
Go back to your old company. discuss with your HR manager regarding this. Try to complete No Dues & Handling over formalites etc. Tell them that you require it urgently. If they Lost your Resignation letter. Give them new copy with No Dues & Handling over copy to them.
Try to make request from other department of HOD which is good with that Manager.
Regards,
HR Friends.

What if company is doing it purposely to trouble him???? Is there any other way that he can get it

He can send his resignation throught Registered Post with A.D. by adding requirement of Experience Certificate. All correspondence should be done through Registered Post.

Yes companies do these things to set an example to the other employees working with them so that they dont dare to leave without paying a lot of money or without serving a long notice period. Now a days that is the problem, companies are trying to retain employees by using the notice period. :(
I would suggest you do this -
1> send then a formal note in triplicate to the MD, HR & your manager asking for full and
final settlement with all documentation. This should be a registered letter with acknowledgement.
2> If there is no response send another letter with a copy of the previous letter.
3> There should be some response from them by this time. If not engage an attorney and send then a notice.
This should surely engage the companies legal adviser who will advise them to close the issue with minimal fuss.
Hope this clarifies.
