Hai, I am currently working for a mid-sized company which is a retail pharma chain. This company does not have a policy of giving relieving letters to any employee leaving it's services.I wanted to know the following details;
1. Is the company entitled not to issue relieving letters to resigning employees?
2. I have worked in various companies but nowhere I have found such a policy. Is'nt it illegal?
3. What is the guarantee that the company will not harass me in future in case I move on? How does the law protect me from this?
4.Is giving a relieving letter for services completed only a company's prerogative? If no are they violating the labour laws?
5. Last If this company at any point in future tries to spread negative feedback about me Can i take up the matter legally? Are there any laws to support an employee?
