Hi Everyone, I worked for a startup for 2 years and resigned, leaving the company in December last year due to a good opportunity. I received the relieving letter on the last working day. However, the relieving mail stated that the full and final settlement and the experience letter would be issued within 45 days from the last day. I have received the full and final settlement amount, but not the experience letter. I have been requesting it for two weeks, but they claim they won't issue it as I joined a competitive company and are also withholding salary slips.
Obtaining the Experience Letter
Can anyone advise on how to obtain the experience letter? Currently, I only have an appointment letter and relieving letter. Additionally, is the relieving letter sufficient for the future? Would a bank statement with salary credit information be adequate?
Content of the Relieving Letter
The content of the relieving letter is as follows:
"This is to certify that [my name] worked with us as [designation] from [tenure]. He has been relieved from his duties effective [last working day]. His contributions to the organization and its success will always be appreciated. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
[HR Manager's name and signature]"
Would this suffice as the experience letter?
Thanks in advance!
