Company is not issuing relieving letter

I have worked for India based CMMI Level 5 service based company for 2 yesrs. I had resigned on Aug 8th since I had to persue masters (Notice period 3 months). The admission process got over soon that classes started in Sep 15th. So before that week I asked my manager to relieve me. But he didn't agree. Even I asked HR also. They told if manager agrees we will relieve you soon. But my manager was not ready to relieve me because he had not even thought of my replacement and haven't informed customer. When I pressurized them they somehow told customer to avoid assigning tasks from client end through onsite co ordinator. But they kept these things away from me. And I somehow got to know that they have informed customer that I will not be working from sep 15. But even then they gave options to me like miss the classes for a month and work there and also they gave a option to take back the resignation for which I was not ready. I just told them I m ready to pay the amount for remaining days of notice period. Even then they didn't agree. Meanwhile I had contacted labour commissioner and they called the HR and advised to solve the issue internally. By this my manager got wrong and he was not ready to relieve me by any means. I was too tensed on missing clases so that I attended classes from sep 16th. They hav not contacted me till now? How do I get my relieving letter now? And HR shows the company polies somewhere uploaded in the intranet that for an employee to get relieved his msnager has to agree. No higher authority in the company seems to be co operative in this regard. watever I ask, they simply say according to company policies we cannot do like that and now my question is cant a person act on his own for some extent? One month is not enough for a company to get replacement? Even if he is ready to purchase notice period why the company is not accepting it?

The notice period of 90 days may not be neccessarily be applicable to you.

The service certificate has to be issued even if Manager does not agree.

 

What is this establishment registered as ; Commercial, Industrial, Small Enterprise? The registration certificate should have been displayed near entrance.

 

What is its line of business: e.g.: IT, Banking,etc?

 

 

How many people are employed in it?

 

Redg. office of the company and your reporting office  is located in which state?

 

You were located in which state?

 

What was your designation and nature of duties and how many persons were reporting to you?

 

Did you have any power to sanction leave, pass increment, conduct appraisal, recruit/appoint/terminate?

 

Who has signed the appointment letter?

Were you under probation period or a confirmed employee?

 

Reply point wise to each point.

I dont know how it is regisyered as. For sure not a small enterprise. Its service based. In the sense it offers services for both harfware and software, mainly embedded systems. Employees around 10000 Registered office in Maharastra. And I m working in Karnataka. Designation-Software Engineer and I had no one reporting to me. No authorisation of sanctioning leave and all. Confirmed Employee

Then why the HR is not issuing service certificate. They say like we are not going to send you within 3 months. If you want you can go. But I need a good exit. No one seems to be supporting to me over there. Its already 15 days I left the company. Can I go back and ask them again?

Submit a written representation under proper acknowledgment addressed to good offices of appointing authority, MD, Chairman that you have properly resigned , no tasks are pending at your end, have affirmed to handover the charge……………………and narrate all representations made so far……………………..and build favorable record in writing under proper acknowledgment…………………………………..

Submit final resignation………………………………..from the day you have left office………………and if you have sent it by post…………………………attach copy.

 

 

1.     The issues is that employee’s either do not unite or do not become members of unions do not form ‘Work’s Committee’/IC/GuilD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and are ill informed to handle their issues……………………..then they are apprehensive to approach unions and lawyers even when they suffer…………………

2.     So many employees post their matters but few of them learn how to deal with such issues effectively e.g;

 https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/forum/Notice-Period-109605.asp#.VCglb2eSwb8

 

3.     Are you aware that  ‘‘Work’s Committee’ is an authority under ID Act and employee’s can negotiate service conditions with employers……………………………..and that Chairman/President is from Employee’s side and the committee has equal number of employee’s as members?????

 

  1. 30 days by all counts is sufficient for the employer to put his house in order.
  2. Notice Period:

You should be covered as ‘Employee’ as in Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act , ‘Workman’ as in ID Act.

90 days notice period may really not be applicable in your case. It should not be more than 30 days and that you have served.

 

 

 

Notice period is part of service conditions and is stated in appointment letter drafted by employer and signed with employee………………………..and various enactments applicable to the establishment and employee……………….

e.g. ( name of the State) Shops and Commercial establishments Act that was enacted to govern the service conditions of employees working in such establishments and IT companies are covered by this Act.

In NO STATE as per this ACT notice period is above 30 days depending upon length o the service.

Standing Orders are also applicable to IT/ITeS companies and if standing orders are not certified Model Standing Orders shall apply.

Sec;13 Notice period during probation is NIL and after confirmation of service it is 30 days……….

Sec:16: Service Certificate has to be issued to all employees.

Any service condition that is inserted by employer in any private agreement drafted by employer and signed with employee, that is inconsistent with service conditions an per these ACT/Statue/Instrument of law shall not survive…………………..

Employer personally shall be held responsible for violation of these enactments.

  1. The IT employees have now female employees unions and employee’s unions and trade unions like CITU< INTUC, BMS, AITUC are willing to embrace IT employees……………………..and united forums are best forum to address employee’s issues….

  1. Approach your Labor Law Consultant/Service Lawyer AS AP with all docs on record and proceed under expert advice of your lawyer.

    The options are:


    --Lodge complaint with Inspector under Payment of wages Act if your wages were upto Rs.18000/pm as per def. of wages in this Act.

    --Lodge complaint with Inspector under (name of the state) Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.

    --Lodge complaint with O/O Labor Commissioner

--approach civil courts



--approach employee's unions, trade unions and put pressure................


  1. However discuss everything with elders in your family and choose the option that suits your aptitude.

As I have to concentrate on my studies, now I cant fight with them legally. Can I take up this after 2 years of completion of my studies? Is this will be applicable after two years also? And one more thing HR was telling me like if you dont come from sep 15th we will treat it as abscond. And I m damn sure that they are trying their best to treat it as abscond since they have not even called me bavk on this. If my role was so necessary they would have called me by this time. And I did ask global delivery head regarding this informally that is through office communicator. He was like you approached someone out of the company and he also added HR will take the approriate decidion on this. And HR relay on manager who is not going to releive me in a good way for sure becsuse i had seen him playing game when i was there in the company itself. Will they provide me the letter if I go legally?

You should preferably submit a written representation under proper acknowledgment that you have not absconded and no untruthful statements should be said, recorded and published against your name.

The matter has been discussed in detail.

You need to Act now.

Act preferably under the expert advice of your lawyer now.

Meet your lawyer preferably with elders in the family.

 

Rest is up to you. You may proceed as deemed fit at your end.
