Employee does not serve the notice period

Hi

Our company ask for 1 month notice period on the resignation. One of our employee put resignation on 18 June, 2016 and stated that he will serve till 1st July which are 14 days. Company had not very good experience with this employee so they release him on same date without any document. Now the employee is asking for salary for first 18 days as well as the experience letter as he has joined somehwere else.

What does the law says that is it advisable to give him salary as he refused to serve 30 days notice period? Do we still owe him experience letter?

Please help me !

Regards

credit side: 18 days salary you have to pay as that is his period before he put down his papers. deductions: difference in notice period = 16 days. now the tricky part in your case is that you relieved him on the same day without any documentation. he cannot discharge his duties unless you allow access to office. effectively you prevented him from working. section 53 of Indian Contract Act comes into play and the covenant becomes voidable at his option and he is entitled for loss caused to him (at least for 14 days). I would advise you to pay his legitimate dues, give experience certificate and close this matter amicably.

The ID Act does not specify the notice period as responsibility of employee.

You have pressed notice period of 30 days.

You have prevented him to perfrom his duty.

You need to tender earned wages till last working day and notice period/pay for 30days (18+30=48 days), acknowledgment of notice of resignation and  acceptance of resignation, correct  FnF statement showing earned wages/leave encashment/bonus/OT/reimbursments etc and notice pay, payment of FnF dues, salary slips of all months, service certificate, relieving letter,PF a/c slips of all months, ESIC card, handover of charge, NOC/NDC etc ...............

 

 

Avoid inserting any adverse/negative remarks in personnel file or service certificate, relieving letter and rather post good comments and close the matter.

Clear in BGV/reference check and clear off the matter.
