NOW THEY SAY, HANDING OVER WAS NOT DONE PROPERLY

if they say that the resignation papers were not done properly then as per there policy tender again the required papers to them and request the payment as soon as possible or you will go to court 

as you have not mentioned what position you are accordingly consult a lawyer and issue a notice 

foremost if you have all the documents with acknowledgement wouild be an evidence

DEAR SIR,

THANKS FOR THE REPLY, I WORKED AS ASST MANAGER (STORES), WHEN I SUBMITTED MY RESIGNATION, I TOLD THEM IN MY LETTER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, AND THEY CAN RETAIN MY ONE MONTH BASIC PAY (NOTICE PAY).

THEN AFTER I WAS GIVEN A RELEASING LETTER, FILES ATTACHED, AND HARDLY ANY ONE ENTERTAINS MY CALL, WHEN I HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RELEASING LETTER, WHY SHOULD I GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCEDURE AGAIN??

WELL, IF MY RELEASE LETTER AND EXPERIENCE LETTER IS ISSUED TO ME, IT IS SELF EXPLANATORY, THAT I AM FREE TO MOVE FROM THEM, AND MY PERFORMANCE WAS SATISFACTORY AS CERTIFIED IN THEIR LETTER.

 

PLEASE ADVISE

Pay day for FNF dues/wages: Usual pay day.

Company should supply correct FNF statement for acceptance of its correctness by employee.

The mention of word releasing letter in subject line can be by oversight.

The letter issued to you is work experience/service certificate.

You have offered to tender notice pay by adjusting it in FNF dues. Ideally company should adjust notice pay @ Basic + DA……

 

You were in stores.

Has the company supplied the FNF statement showing any recovery from you or has it ever called you to visit its office for handover of stock in store or has it levied any charge for shortfall in stock to be explained or compensated by you?
