Hi, I worked for a BPO Company in Chennai for 17 Months (last working day June 2013) and due to personal reasons I applied for resignation through the internal tool stating that I can serve only 1 Week as notice period (Quoted the start date and End date as well) and informed that I am ready to pay any amount to get relieved. But none of them called me for discussion related to this for 4 Days, Later I spoke to my HR and her reporting HR manager but of no use.Even my accounts manager and process owner also didn’t accept to relieve me.
Since I had no other choice I Left the job without realizing the importance of relieving letter. After few months I mailed the Settlement team for FNF (I had 20 days of my salary with them and also had 10 days leave balance) they deducted all that and informed me to pay 300 Rupees more to clear the dues, SO I took a DD and sent to the company- later they have sent me EXPERIENCE Letter stating reason for separation as Termination (Job Absconding) even though I informed about my resignation and cleared all dues too..This is the reason why I am completely unhappy.
Even though I intimated them about my resignation none of them accepted-But my offer letter clearly says we can serve 30 Days notice period Or can Opt for Pay out option. But company didn’t provide me the payout option. After working with that company I took 12 Months break so if I don’t get this relieving letter there will be 3 Years pf gap in my career which will be a big problem. Already I loosing all MNC opportunities the moment I say I don’t have relieving letter…
I request everyone here to please guide me how to get the relieving letter form my company. Is there any option to proceed legally?? Will I face any problems due to that?? Please let me know approximate charges(fees) if I wish to proceed legally.

Hi,
Needless to say, it was your fault for offering only one week's notice and then asking for the required amount. You should have the letter of appointment which should contain the provision for giving notice or paying in lieu of notice at the time of termination by either party. If you had paid attention to this earlier, the current situation could have been avoided altogether.
Now, the only solution is to personally contact the management team, explain the difficult situation you find yourself in, and seek their guidance and support.
Good luck, S.K. Johri

Hi,
This is a case where you took for granted that the company will relieve you after one week. The company has the full authority to say no to reduce the notice period and demand your full presence in the office. An employee just cannot one day decide that they need to leave the company and feel that one week is enough, and they need to accept cash from them for the remaining period. Also, has the company replied to you in any way that the same has been accepted by them? Sending an email will not help if you have not obtained their approval on your resignation. If the answer is negative, they can make this an absconding case. Your casual attitude in your job has made the situation worse. Now, all you can do is go to the company, explain the scenario to HR in which you had to leave the job, and request them to issue you the relieving letter.

Hello Yoursantosh108,
S.K. Johri & Ashutosh Thakre have given you the ONLY choice you presently have (unless you figure out a way to justify a 3-year career gap). I suggest learning from your mistake and moving on in life. A job in any company is not like entering a movie theater, watching the movie for some time, and deciding you don't like it, and walking out without any qualms. This comparison may be impolite or atrocious, but that's what, in effect, you have done. The small difference in both cases is: you lose the ticket money there, and here you not only lose the benefits/salary but also the experience documents. All the best.
