Full and final settlement causing problem in next employment

Hi,

Generally every company doesn't allow their employees to work with their clients company for couple of years.. thats they mention such things in the documents you sign.

You certainly have an option to go to the labour court.. but before that send the company a legal notice through a lawyer for the settlement and experience letter.. that will save your money and time if the company takes cognizance of your notice and fulfill your demands to avoid further complications.

You have posted that you were employed with company based in Mumbai,India.

Therefore you may seek recourse as per Indian laws applicable establishment/employer/employee.

Indian Courts of Law have consistently been declining to enforce NOn-Compete Clauses/agreements. In yur case it was placed before you to be signed at the time of exit.

So as per your post you have signed under duress.

As per your post the due benefits applicable e.g. leave encashment, medical arembursment etc are to be paid to you and company is liable to pay you salary for the period you are not seconded to anyone.

You may show all dcos on record to an able counsel specializing in labor law-service matters and give inputs to understand merits and remedies.

Thereafter you may submit your contentions to good offices of appointing authority,MD,Chairman etc. If good offices also do not provide relief you can try by involving employee's/trade unions and labor officials.

If nothing works you can approach court of law.

Service Certificate has to be issued to all employees.

Thanks for the replies.

I can follow up with a notice by a lawyer. My concern is what will happen after that. There is no written conditions regarding S.Korea project that I will get 28 days off. I want to be clear if i am going to be challenged on this issue how deep i will have to go for. Will that affect my future endeavor and visa application?

There are some points i am ready too fight with.

1) I refused to go on site 2 years ago due to health problem which i e-mailed them with my reports and doctor certificate but i was told i can get good medical facilities in USA. And i was forced to go. I have that copy of e-mail.

2) I have recorded calls regarding my request of Final settlement. I have been told they will see what can be done but then no responses.

3) I had claimed medical claim i received in S. Korea when i was on duty. I have not received that. I followed up for that for months but after resignation they stopped entertaining me.

4) I have not received salary of June and July till my relieving. Note that i was absent in this period.

Your able counsel specializing in labor law-service matters after examining whatever you have on written record and your inputs can help you to understand merits and remedies.

I was employed with an IT company as executive administrator (Receptionist) and resigned on 06/11/2014. I served the notice period of 1 month and completed all the formalities of the company. I asked for my full and final settlement amount which is due on company but after 1 month of delay they are harassing me saying that I joined another competitor company and they wont pay me my full and final settlement amount.
Please advice me, am I covered under the definition of "Workmen" of Sec2 of Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 or not. My monthly salary was Rs. 26,500/-

@ Akshay,

It is felt that you have posted query earlier also.

Salary or designation alone does not decide the working person shall be covered as 'Workman' or 'Employee' or not.

The indian courts of law have consistently been declining to enforce Non Compete Clauses/agreements.

Saying/talking/telling etc are all verbal mode of communications and are difficult to prove.

Therefore build irrefutable evidence (audio/visual/witnessed/minuted).
