Hello all,
I am working in a small IT company for the last 8 months. Before this, I had worked in an IT company for 6 months. But my last company told me that to join earlier, I have to provide an experience letter including my 6 months from the previous company. They also provided an appointment letter from my first company's joining date. However, now they haven't given me my experience letter, and I have no joining letter. I also lack salary slips and bank statements showing salary transfers into my account. Can I take any legal action against them? Please suggest some solutions to help me obtain my work experience. Thanks to all in advance.

Hi,
I hope that you were not on probation during these months because the probation or training period is not counted as the work experience of an employee. The work experience period starts afterward, and one is not eligible to receive an experience letter if he/she leaves the job after or during the probation period.
Since you were there for a time period of less than a year, you need to review the company's policies. Maybe they have a specific time period condition for issuing an experience letter. I recommend you always have a copy of the signed agreement with you; that's our right and proves to be a savior in such situations.
You need to communicate with the higher authorities of the company (do not hesitate to go to the CEO level), submit your request, and keep a copy of your conversation with everyone dealing with you in this matter from the organization as proof to make your case strong.

Hello,
You do not have a payslip or anything that could prove your employment in that company. Substantial proof is required for legal proceedings; otherwise, it is of no use. I recommend consulting a lawyer and sending a legal notice to your employer questioning why they have not issued you an experience or relieving letter. You will have to wait until you receive a reply to the notice before deciding on your next steps.
