Hi,
I have worked for 3 months within an IT company. They have not given me any document other than the offer letter. One day, they informed me that during employment verification, they found the date of issue of the relieving letter from my previous organization confusing. They asked me to be on Leave Without Pay (LWP) and prove my employment with the previous organization. They insulted me, and I decided to exit. I resigned, but now they are refusing to provide me with the relieving document. They never gave me any document, not even the appointment letter or my remaining salary and perks.
My concern is that if I want to join another company, I have no documents to prove my last three months of experience with this company. Even though they are not willing to communicate with me, I lost my job without prior notice and have no documents to show. I don't know what to do. Please help me; I am in a very big trouble.

Hi,
Why don't you talk to your previous employer and get the desired relieving letter? The same happened with me. The date of my resignation from my first job was 4th April, but in the company system, it was listed as 4th May. Then, the date of joining my second organization was 10th April. So, when my current employer conducted a background check, they were confused about my experience. I spoke to my first employer, explained the situation, and they emailed my current employer. Now, I am relieved.
Try speaking to your employer. Sometimes, these things happen. My case was quite drastic, but by the grace of God, I sailed through. Don't worry; everything will be fine. And why bother about a three-month experience that may not even be useful? Take care, and all the best.

Dear,
Do not panic. Write out a letter explaining everything. Note that making a person work without an appointment letter is considered "unfair labor practice." Go ahead and draft this letter; they will be on the receiving end.

Thank you for your reply, Rukshi.
I don't think that my current employer is going to give me documents. I don't have good relations with my current employer, as they have insulted me many times. They are playing with my future.
I would like to know if I can join another company without the documents from my current employer. Will they accept me in this situation?

Dear,
Write to them. The reply itself can be used as the Appointment order. Because of email, all of you have forgotten about hard copy communication.

Actually, the people are ignoring me; they don't respond when I contact them. I have two questions:
1. If I join another company, will they accept me if I don't provide any documents from my last employer?
2. I don't want to take any legal action as this could make the situation worse.

Hi Jeet,
If your employer does not want to talk to you, despite your many efforts, then, dear, you must take legal action because not offering an appointment letter to an employee falls under unfair labor practices, as Mr. Rajan said.
Now, as Rukshi suggested, you can contact your first employer regarding the leaving formalities. Are you really on leave without pay from your last company? You must leave a company with proper formalities.
You can now contact the labor inspector in your area and explain the entire situation.

Hi Jeet,
First of all, let me tell you that 3 months of experience is not typically considered as substantial experience. Experience after 6 months is usually taken into account.
Secondly, if it's impossible to obtain the necessary documents from your employer, it's advisable not to mention it on your resume. Instead, during the interview, you can explain that you worked for 3 months but were unable to obtain any supporting documentation. This approach serves two purposes:
1) It demonstrates that you are aware of the rules and value authenticity.
2) It indicates that you have some level of knowledge in the relevant field.
However, I would always recommend finding a way to manage and secure your documents.
Hope for the best and good luck!

Dear Jeet,
If you have not been given any documents for your employment with your current employer, you need not show it on your CV when you apply for a new job since the period is negligible (3 months, which can be ignored). If you have been insulted by the employer and in order to further widen the gap, you can start searching for a new job, disregarding the experience of the 3 months.

Dear Jeet,
Try the following:
1. Express your concern in writing to your second company and request them to issue the necessary letters.
2. You may have salary slips (for the three months), identity card copy, etc., which can be produced for future employment as additional proof of employment.
3. In the worst case, let go of these three months' experience.
4. Ensure that you get your relieving letters corrected from the first employer; otherwise, the same problems may recur in the future.
Wishing you luck!

I feel that while taking up any assignment, one should be upfront about the relieving status instead of creating confusion afterwards. I also feel the company's HR department has done the job perfectly. Wasn't the concern aware that he was not relieved properly? Guys, we need to be extremely careful while leaving any company.
