Hi,
My notice period is 60 days. I need to join another organization within 30 days. In my current role, they are not allowing me to leave without serving the full notice period of 60 days. They have mentioned that a relieving letter will not be provided if I depart within the notice period.
My question is, are there any laws that would entitle me to receive my relieving letter?
As far as I am aware, if I resign after 30 days, they are obligated to issue me a relieving letter and an experience letter after the completion of the full 60-day notice period.
I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi Kapil,
This is R. Ramkumar. I worked with HCL Comnet for 10 months, but I quit my job without informing my HR and without providing any notice period. Almost 5 months have passed, and now I am searching for a job. I require a relieving letter from HCL Comnet. Is it possible to get a relieving letter from HCL? My notice period with HCL was 60 days.
I have 4 months of experience. If I leave that 10-month gap in my career, is it possible to get a job in MNCs?
I need your suggestions.

For getting your relieving letter, you must serve your notice period; otherwise, you need to buy it. The notice period must be served as per the terms mentioned in your appointment letter. If your conduct was excellent and if the company values your service, they can issue the letter without fulfilling the above two conditions. There is no other way.

Hi Rajkumar,
As you left the job five months ago without serving the notice period, the company may have a negative opinion of you. Therefore, you should first contact your HR or meet them directly. Explain why you left the job without serving the notice period. If you can't tell the truth, provide another reason and try to gain the sympathy of your HR.
If they are not convinced by your explanation, offer to pay for it. This way, you are likely to obtain the relieving letter. However, consider whether you truly need that letter, as unexpected issues may arise. Think carefully before taking any action.

Hi Kapil,
I would like to bring to your attention the matter of the Relieving Letter. I have resigned from my current company and am currently serving a 30-day notice period. As per my Offer Letter, a 3-month notice period is applicable, or a deduction in salary for the equivalent amount needs to be made in the Full and Final settlement.
Following my resignation, my reporting boss is insisting that I serve a 60-day notice period instead of the agreed-upon 30 days. I have made my best efforts to request him to reconsider. I am willing to accept the deduction, but he continues to pressure me to extend the notice period to 60 days. However, my new employer is unable to accommodate more than a 30-day notice period.
Could you please advise me on the best course of action for a smooth and legally compliant exit process during my remaining 30 days of notice? This will ensure that I can secure my new job without any complications.
I look forward to your support.

Dear PK,
No, your boss can't force you to serve the notice period when it is specifically mentioned in the appointment letter that in the absence of the notice period, you have to pay notice pay. You can also request your existing employer to adjust all your pending leaves in your notice period or to make payment in case of no adjustment and request a formal letter from him which states that you have to mandatorily serve the notice period. If this approach doesn't work out, please approach your HR for intervention. Hopefully, they will assist you, and if they also do not agree, inform them that you will approach the labor court/authority for such harassment.
Looking forward to your support.

Hello,
This is Soanala. I have work experience of 5 months in overseas education consultancy as a career consultant. Because of financial problems, I was forced to pick up a job. When I got an offer letter from the company, I joined immediately without any second thought. I joined in February 2013, and I even received two/three performance achievement awards certificates. However, later, I was not fine with the job timings, and I also needed to prepare for my Semester exams and go for treatment for my health problem. So, I had many issues that led me to quit my job without informing anyone in the office/company; I simply stopped going. Now, I have applied for other jobs and mentioned that I have 5 months of work experience. I am worried about how to obtain the relieving letter from the company I left to submit at the interview.
Now, I really don't want to go to the office to ask/request my relieving letter. I feel awkward, odd, and bad because if I approach the company, I am unsure how they will react. I am worried and embarrassed, which is why I am hesitating to go to the office and ask them. Please help me out. What should I do in this case? Please suggest what to do.
Please reply as soon as possible to my query.

Following are the alternatives before you:
1. Pay and deposit 30 days' salary in lieu of your notice period and serve 30 days in your present company (Check and refer to your offer of appointment letter).
2. State clearly to your prospective employer that you shall be relieved by your present company only after serving a 60-day notice period, and seek an extension in your joining time.
Based on the replies received, decide for yourselves.

Hello Everyone,
I work in an IT company and want to know if companies allow Leave without pay during the probationary period. If yes, how many days are typically allowed? Is this practice governed by the rules and regulations of the Shop & Establishment Act?

I am eagerly awaiting your suggestions.

As regards leave, there are no rules under any act (certain acts stipulate the number of days of leave to be given to employees, for example, the Factories Act, Shops & Establishments Act, etc.). Leaves should be administered based on individual companies' leave policy.
There is no harm in giving leave during the probation period, but limit such leave to one day per month. As a general rule, during the first three months of probation, no leave should be granted. For the remaining part of the probation period, only one day per month should be allowed. If an employee avails more than one day of leave during probation, start effecting loss of pay.
Evolve a leave policy that is best suited to your company.

Hello friend,
Firstly, you can request your future employer to discuss your current situation. If feasible, ask for a bit more time to resolve this issue. Then, approach your current employer, particularly your reporting manager, and discuss the matter. Emphasize your good performance and positive relationships with your superiors to seek their understanding. Speak to the HR personnel, ensuring them of a proper handover of responsibilities and your availability for any future needs of the company. Inquire if there is a possibility to negotiate the one-month notice period and obtain your relieving letter. Maintain a calm demeanor and exhibit patience and a cooperative attitude throughout. Putting in extra effort might also prove beneficial in this scenario. Remain hopeful and persistent in your efforts.
Please review your offer letter and any relevant policies for guidance on this matter. Any terms and conditions outlined in your offer letter could assist you in resolving this issue. If there are discrepancies, address them assertively but tactfully. It is likely that all necessary information is included in your offer letter.

Hi Rajkumar, I am just advising you that it's not about HCL Comnet; it's about any corporate company. If you leave before 6 months without any genuine reason like a health issue or personal family issue, then except for this, your next employer will consider it as your competency towards the job. Because HCL is a big name, one would not leave like that, especially a fresher just after 4 months. Now, after 5 months, you are still searching. I would advise you to start your career as a fresher again because if you'll consider that experience from HCL, I don't think you will benefit from it. You will be hired as a fresher again anywhere. Without a letter, you can demonstrate your experience with the knowledge of that profile in the interview. You can try once if HR agrees to give you your letter; otherwise, don't waste time. Please email me your profile in which you are searching. Definitely, I'll try to help in your search. My email is

Good thought. 30 days is also too long; it should be 15 days. Have you ever thought about the situation where an employee leaves the job within 1-2 months of joining, or sometimes they don't even join after very positive follow-up; they deny at the last minute of joining? I hope you have also considered the employees who just want to grab a good opportunity without thinking about the present company or profile, and only want to settle down with the minimum notice period as much as possible. Don't you think all these situations should come under some terms and conditions?
During the joining process, it is up to the candidate what he or she is willing to sign. HR always explains every term and condition to the new joiner. Retention is the biggest issue in today's era, and small and mid-level companies face problems when employees suddenly leave the organization. So, these rules are sometimes necessary when viewed from the company's perspective and unreasonable when viewed from an employee's perspective. However, with mutual understanding, in most cases, it can be settled.

There is no point in discussing it further.

I agree with Mr. Nair. You can establish rules based on the company policy. For example, in the first month, leave may not be allowed, but after that, an employee can take 1 or 1.5 days of leave. Alternatively, for the first 3 months, employees may not be entitled to any leave, but after that, the number of leave days one can take would be as per the company's rules.

I had to resign from the job recently.
In my appointment letter, it is mentioned that my services may be terminated at the instance of either party only by giving the other party three calendar months' prior written notice. Provided that the company may, if it so chooses, pay three months' salary in lieu of notice.
I clearly indicated in my resignation letter that I would like to serve only one month's notice and offered to pay for the shortfall. I received acceptance from my line manager (who signed my appointment and confirmation letters) in hard copy of my resignation.
As per company procedure, we are required to upload the hard copy of the resignation acceptance letter in the HR EXIST portal. I have done the same. However, the soft copy of the resignation letter is yet to be approved in the portal.
Subsequently, I sent a reminder email with a time limit to my line manager to approve the same, but he has not replied yet (the 15-day notice period is already over).
Now, the company is enforcing me to work for 90 days. However, I am not interested in doing so.
Can I leave the job as per my resignation acceptance letter? Can I get a relieving letter?
Please guide me.

Sir, I was working from January 24, 2018, due to my personal reasons and further studies. I submitted my resignation letter to HR on August 8th, but HR claims they have not received any such letter. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the letter either. Company policy states a 1-month notice period during probation and a 6-month probation after confirmation. However, I have not received any confirmation letter from HR to date. Despite completing the 1-month notice period as required, HR is pressuring me to serve a 3-month notice period. I decided to leave the job after serving the 1-month notice period. Now, HR is threatening and harassing me, demanding 2 months' salary for Full and Final settlement. They have also threatened to cancel my MNC registration and file a police complaint if I do not comply. I have informed the administrator about not receiving a confirmation letter, but both HR and the administrator insist that I am automatically confirmed in their system. Sir, please advise me on how to proceed. Can he cancel my registration in...
