Hi,

I too have the same problem. I joined a consultancy on 3rd March 2010. We were told that apart from our basic salary, we would be given incentives depending on the number of closures we achieved in the consultancy.

The company had set a target for everyone until 8th May 2010 for maximum closures. However, before that date, without giving me any notice or valid reasons, they forcefully made me resign from the consultancy. There are still a few others working in the consultancy without meeting their targets, but I was the only one asked to resign. I was compelled to sit and type my resignation forcibly.

I was given a Letter of Intent containing clauses for the process and salary. It stated that if services are terminated, a 15-day notice would be given in addition to the basic salary. Also, in case of misconduct by the employee, the management can waive off the notice period, but the salary will be given.

I was not even given a 15-day notice period. Now, when I am requesting my salary for the 27 days I worked, the management is refusing.

I am seeking advice on what steps I can take to obtain my salary as they are not responding. When I inquired, they suggested I rejoin them. I worked with this consultancy until 27th April 2010.

Please help.

Hi All,

Can someone share with me the offer letter/appointment letter format with fixed and variable components mentioned for Sales & Marketing executives working with a 3-year-old software development company (say for MBA Freshers)? I am looking for a response urgently. Please suggest.

  • Hi Bhumika,

    It is certain that an appointment letter is necessary, but it does not prove that you are a permanent employee. Instead, it indicates that you are bound by the rules and regulations of the company.

    Moreover, it is observed that many companies issue appointment letters after three months to ensure that the employee is suitable and will not leave immediately after receiving their salary. However, this is not a good or professional practice.

    I disagree with the notion that if you do not earn for one month, the employer can withhold your salary even though you worked the entire month.

    My sister is currently facing a similar situation. She was employed as an HR Executive in the Consultancy department at Hope Hospitality of Hotel Management in Laxmi Nagar. The employer, Ms. Rajni Negi, has refused to pay her salary, citing her failure to generate business or place any candidates, and instructed her to leave on 7th June 10.

    I would appreciate suggestions or guidance from my seniors on the actions she can take, considering she has an appointment letter.

    Regards,
