Robert Bosch in Bangalore has called me for an interview from Pune to Bangalore. It was decided that they will reimburse even if the offer is not issued, but now they are not reimbursing my money and trying to give some account-related excuses. It's been more than 4 months I'm fighting with them through calls and emails. Please let me know if there is any concrete approach to get my money back. I'm planning to make an official police complaint with all the evidence I have. Please assist me in taking the correct approach.

If you have any written proof like any mail from their side in which they mentioned that they will reimburse even if offer is not issued. Then you can legally claim. Rgrds, Taksh

It is the responsibility of the company when they call somebody for an interview to reimburse the traveling and other related expenditures, and to that extent, they might be communicating with the candidates. I believe the same communication might be with you. Whether you get selected or not, it is their responsibility to reimburse the expenses.
I suggest writing a letter to the senior management attaching a xerox copy of the call letter. In the letter, address the delaying practices of their junior management team and also mention that if the reimbursement is not cleared within 15 days from the date of receipt of the letter, legal action will be taken.

Dear seniors,
Please suggest a solution. One of my colleagues is currently in a probationary period. After three months, she left the job and joined another company. Our company is a consultancy, and she has joined a consultancy as a business development executive. She is now contacting clients that we have not been following up with. Can we take legal action for sharing our data?

I believe it is difficult because you cannot prove that she/he has taken the data. It may also be possible that the clients who were in contact with her at the time of her service in your organization are approaching her.

Please think before approaching the clients. Yours is a consulting firm, and the business is reliant on the satisfaction and service levels extended to the customer.
Instead of finding fault with your ex-employees, I suggest focusing on retaining existing customers and attracting new ones who are not currently engaged with your firm. This will add value to your business. Neglecting this aspect may lead to more employees leaving for other organizations, potentially taking your customers with them. Concentrate on customer service rather than dwelling on former employees and the resulting damages.
Even when your clients provide you with information on what actions to take, pursuing a legal route could be time-consuming and yield no results in the end.

Thank you, Mr. Kamesh,
Still now, we haven't lost any business from the clients. At the same time, they still haven't generated any profit from my ex-employee. We received information that she approached our client for a business proposal, so we called her for an enquiry. Is this the right way of approaching this situation?
Please give me some suggestions. Thank you.

Hello,
I attended an interview with Robert Bosch in Coimbatore in September 2011. A person named Prem from ER Consulting scheduled me for the embedded system project manager role. At that time, he informed me that Bosch would reimburse the travel expenses up to a 3-tier AC train ticket. I booked a Volvo bus ticket from Bangalore to Coimbatore. I successfully cleared all the rounds, but to my surprise, Bosch offered a salary that was 2 lakh less than my current salary. Consequently, I declined the offer. However, they assured me that the travel expenses would be reimbursed within 3 weeks.
I maintained constant communication with Prem and Girish from ER Consulting, as well as with HR personnel G. Kalaiselvi and Suganya from Bosch. After a month, when I inquired about the reimbursement, they requested that I resend the ticket copies via post. I complied and sent the copies to HR personnel Malar Kurinji and Asha Begum. Despite my efforts and follow-ups, Prem and Girish kept providing false updates, claiming that the reimbursement was still "under process."
It has now been almost 6 months, and I have received no response from ER Consulting or the Bosch team. Even reaching out to Manikandan, a senior HR member at Bosch, yielded no results. I am uncertain whether this issue lies with the consultant or with Bosch. Upon discussing with my friends, I discovered that they had faced similar challenges with the Bosch Coimbatore team. It appears that the HR team at Bosch is ill-equipped to handle basic HR policies. If they cannot address candidate concerns adequately, why are they designated as human resources?
Feeling frustrated by the lack of progress, I am contemplating visiting the consultant's office with the police to demand my reimbursement. ER Consulting and Bosch Coimbatore seem to be deceiving candidates through such practices.
