Hi All,
i am working in a startup ,its almost 3 months now,i handling lead position and dealing with 5 people.But my employer didn't give me any kind of offer letter.whenever i asked,they told give in sometime.now i took 4 days leave,without informing them directly,i only informed to my colleagues.Now they send a mail,by threatening to me,without our permission how you take a leave.
I didn't inform because ,there is no agreement between employee and employer.Many of my colleagues did the same thing.But knowingly being a senior and managing everything in their company,they charged such allegation,which is not acceptable.
Suggest what to do to teach them a lesson.

""now i took 4 days leave,without informing them directly,i only informed to my colleagues.""
Not taking permission from employer for leave is irregular.
You have not appointment letter does not mean you can go on leave without taking official permission.
You are at fault here.
""Suggest what to do to teach them a lesson.""
You need to learn the lesson here and not employer.
Do not take this kind of attitude as it will be problematic in private employment.

Dear Silpas,
From the layman point of view, both the parties, employer and employee have shown immaturity. Employer did not issue proper appointment letter so a employee at the level of Team Leader retaliates by availing of leave without proper information.
Many start ups not necessarily run their businesses professionally. Now whether to continue with them or not is you call. But then what have you achieved by proceeding on leave without informing to your employer?
If not many months are passed since you joined, then I recommend you quitting the company. When employer prefers not to issue the appointment letter that means some unknown fear is lurking in his/her mind that should contingency arise to close the business entity then he/she should not have liability to pay for the notice period.
If employer has not even issued the appointment letter then it speaks of how organised they are in their regular work activities. It requires a luck to work in organised company where systems and processes are well defined. I have doubt on this count.
Now whether to continue in start up or not is your call nevertheless, I recommend you maintaining professional approach. Unprofessional behaviour may give pleasure of scoring a point over employer but then what matters is development of wrong habit. This is far more dangerous.
Thanks,

1. It is the duty of the employer to issue offer letters. However, just because you don't have appointment letter does not mean you are not their employee. As you have mentioned, they have emailed you regarding your absenteeism which proves employer employee relationship.
2. If you have taken a leave without permission and/ or informing the authority, then you are at fault.
3. If you want appointment letter from your company, write to them and keep sending reminders occasionally.
