Hello,
I was working with an IT company in Secunderabad area.
I resigned from my services on 6th July 2011 and the management of my organization releived me from my services on 29th July 2011.
I got the annual increment effective 1st April 2011 but out of that only 50% of the incremental amount was disbursed. Balance was supposed to be paid along with June month salary. But unfortunately my organization did not pay the same.
During my relieving, i contacted the HR department regarding the unpaid salary amount. They told me that i am not eligible to receive the same as i had already resigned. But as per the service agreement, if any employee resigns within 3 months from the date of increment, the incremental salary would not be applicable. As i had resigned on 6th July, and my increment was effective 1st April, i had fulfilled all the requirements of the company to be eligible for getting the salary increment.
When i quoted the same, my HR came up with a new thing of Service agreement (Bond) which i had never signed. According to him, i need to reimburse the company with 4 months salary which is really absurd.
Can anybody please let me know how i can legally fight this case. Like me, there are other persons also who had gone through the same in my organization.
