Dear Seniors,
This topic is with reference to my previous thread titled [Employee Resignation](https://www.citehr.com/126463-please-help-need-advice-regarding-resignation.html). Please refer to it as you can get a clear idea of my problem.
After serving resignation, my boss constantly asked for serving a 3-month notice; otherwise, I have to pay 3 months' salary, which was not mentioned in my appointment letter.
(Based on the clause in my appointment letter: Should you wish to terminate your services with the company, you will be at liberty to resign from our employment with three months' prior notice. It will be the company's discretion to decide whether you should work for the full period of the notice or whether your services shall terminate at some earlier date.)
After a lot of consideration, he finally asked me to serve only a 1-month notice period, and then only he will relieve me from my services. To be on the safer side, I sent him an email agreeing to all conditions we discussed. I also demanded my previous due salary before serving my 1-month notice period.
He did not reply to my email, and I started resuming my work, thinking that he has agreed to it. But after 2 days, I got an email from my boss saying that he has accepted my resignation and relieved me from my services.
I also got assurance from the Accounts Dept. that I will get FNF also, but after trying hard for 3 months, I got a reply that I won't be paid anything as I had agreed to pay 1 month's salary for not serving my notice period. And now whenever I try to meet him or contact him, I get a reply that he is busy. But I am trying to fix up a meeting with my boss to discuss the final settlement.
Please advise me, seniors, what to do???? If I meet him and still get the same reply, should I put a case on him?? I can't lose my money as I was ready to serve the notice period which we mutually agreed on, but later he accepted my resignation.

Hello friend,
Do you have the print of the email where your superior has mentioned your relieving? From your post, it appears you stopped attending work soon after receiving this email. You should have properly received a relieving letter from the company - until such time, you should not stop going to work. Also, there is a need to fill up a No dues/final clearance form which covers all aspects of the payments and recoveries relating to employees. This form would have also clarified the decision relating to notice pay - as agreed between you and your superior.
Now the only option is to meet the superior and complete the above processes. Hopefully, good sense will prevail, and they would consider the date of your email as the relieving date and pay you your dues.
