Hi
I was working with Apollo Munich Health Insurance. I resigned my job Aug 8th. My HR called me and said that my Final settlement is on hold.
Reason : one of my team member resigned few months back. After he resigning the job a customer came to the office and gave a complaint against him for miselling. Immediately i sent a mail to HR and State manager regarding customer complaint and asked to hold his exit clearance. Later my team member came to office and negotiated with customer and promised him to compensate the loss. But he was not having money to compensate the client, he asked me to process the final settlement. So that he will take the final settlement amount and compensate the client.
So I gave approval to process his settlement. After receiving the final settlement cheque my team member back tracked the words and he did not compensate the client. He has taken the final settlement amount and ran away.
Important point is: Settlement cheque is given by HR only. I did not give the cheque to my team member. Since HR knew that there is a complaint against the employee, HR should not have given the cheque.
Now my company is holding my settlement for the mistake which my team member did. Do they have rights to do this? What is the process to get the settlement back?
One more important thing is, the sale was done by my team member before I joined Apollo Munich.
