Previous Employer refuses to issue the Relieving letter

Dear  Venugopal

Leaving  without informing  the employer  is a decease  prevailing in the society.  Employer  entrust the work with  faith and belief to the employee .  If  employee works  company/employer  will sustain,  if company / employer  sustain  employee  can sustain.   If  employee start ditching  employer,  where is the survival  of the  employee.

Advise your  friend not to play  such tricks  in future with any employer.  If  he does not like  the job,  ask him to separate  by following procedure,  which  is  safe and  secure for both employer and  employee.  

Your  friend  is supposed  to  handover  the  charge properly to the person nominated by the employer.  As per my understanding  based on your  writeup,  your friend  is  treated  by the employer as  un authorized absentee  and  absconded from duties  hence terminated  from  his services  after  following the   procedure.

There is no chance for your friend  for getting the  reliving  certificate.   If your friend is genuine  and  honest,  ask him to  tender   unconditional  apology  to the employer and   compensate  the employer  the  notice  period   and  to  make his request  for.  If  the file is closed  procedurally  by the employer,  you friend  can get nothing.  

Thanks for your suggestions Venkat.

But my friend had to leave forcefully because of family compulsions by which the reason was genuine. he worked for the company sincerely for 2.5 years, was a very good performer infact his Project managers where ready to take him in again when he went to raise the relieving letter but the HR personnel did not allow so. He tried explaining everything to the HR, however they did not consider his reasons at all.

so as you said if the employer closes the file procedurely then my friend would not have any way out ??

Mr.Venugopal

I can suggest you  one  way  which is only  for  creating your record  and it may helpful  in future  to show   your  friends  genunity  to  new employer .

Ask  your friend  to write  a detailed letter   (  hope  you under stand)    to the  ex employer  accepting his mistake and  the reason for  sudden  leaving  and  ask him to  tender his appoligy and   to request  for  releaving  letter.

On receipt of your  friends  letter,  if the exemployer  may  or may not replly. If  replied  it can be  a  proof that  your  friend had worked there .     Let your  friend  try  by  shooting this  letter  then  see.

I have go throuh your mail and i am asking one quetion what is the family problem 

Dear Venugopal,

Yes your friend has committed the blunder. He should have informed his employer about quiting the job within the prescribed time. Well, now only apologies can work. So ask your friend to visit the employer and give in writing his apologies and get the relieving ceriticate. If that too does not work, then look at the possibilities of serving a legal notice to the employer for issuing the relieving letter as that would be essential for your new job.

Wishing him good luck.
