Dear friends,
I recently resigned from a consultancy in Bangalore. I worked in that organization for 1 year and left against the will of management. At the time of resigning, they said your relieving letter and full settlement will happen within 10-15 days. When approached to get the same, I was informed that you will get your full and final settlement but NOT a relieving letter as you resigned against the wish of management. I have a copy of my resignation letter (email).
My question is:
1. What are the other ways to prove my work experience? E.g., salary slips, salary statement from the bank, etc.
2. How can I get my relieving letter?
Request you all to comment on the same at the earliest.
Thank you.
Regards,

Against the will of the management? Did you serve the notice period? Sometimes, this is the only way to take revenge by the company.
Anyways, I suggest you send an email with a copy to the Senior Management stating that as per the resignation letter dated --/--/--, you have served the notice period and also received the full and final settlement. However, you would also like to receive the experience letter as that is required for your future. If they still don't agree, you can take the last three/four months salary slip and submit it to your current employer for verification. Please provide references from your ex-company (like Manager/senior Manager) to vouch for your performance. Be polite and try explaining the situation. It does not matter if you have to give up a little bit of your ego to get your task done.
Let's wait for some good responses and see what other members have to say about this situation.

Hi,
A relieving letter is indeed an important document to prove that you have completed all the formalities in your previous company. However, if the same is not available, a reference check by your reporting manager can be a good alternative.

Thank you for your response. The notice period was waived off. I was working in a small organization (consultancy) set up (Start-Up). The issue is that when I spoke to the concerned person, he mentioned that he won't give me a relieving letter and asked me to start my career as a fresher. It's a one-man show in that organization, with everything controlled by that one person. Even my reporting manager will not authenticate my work experience without that person's approval. He is the only person in senior management (small consultancy, a set-up), and my settlement check is also pending.

If I were in your place, I would have taken some 4-5 people and broken that person's hands and legs, admitted him to the hospital, and then forced him to sign a relieving letter. If someone does too much, better return the favor in their own language. 😑😑

Dear Chintan,
I understand the situation.
Suggestion 1: Do you have an appointment letter? If so, use that to show your day of joining. Do you have the last month's salary slip? Take copies of the last three months (if you don't have them, take bank statements for the last few months). Now, provide this to your new company and let the HR know the situation. It's not a professionally held company, so don't lose your image and name by reacting aggressively. However, make sure you have asked them enough times. Provide references of your clients (I am sure you must know at least two to three good HRs in your client list you worked with previously). Let them speak for you! What else do you need?
---
I have corrected the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in your text. I have also adjusted the paragraph formatting to ensure clarity and readability. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Guys,
Thanks a lot, Ravi and Asha.
Ravi, if I do the same, there will be no difference between them and me. And once started, these things will continue to go deeper and deeper.
Anyways, thanks again for your time and suggestion.
Asha,
Yes, I have the appointment letter and all my pay slips till the last month and can also get a bank statement. I will also send a couple of emails requesting my relieving letter, which could serve as proof.
Yeah, I will get references from my clients and others on my team who know what is what.
Thanks, Asha, you have clarified my doubts in the best possible manner.
Now, I will start looking for a better job. My hunt begins.
In the meanwhile, if you come across any openings in HR, do let me know.
I have 2.4 years of total work experience in HR, including:
- Recruitment & Selection,
- Training & Development,
- Client Coordination,
- Employee Relations, and
- Event Management.
I have completed my Post Graduation in Human Resource Development from St. Joseph's College of Business Administration, Bangalore.

Hahahaha :D :D So funny, Ravi... Ravi, then the employer will look legally and will keep her in jail :D
@ All...
I completely agree with Asha. She has explained well.
@ Chintan, you have to tell the truth only. Then you will not face a problem, as I think. Show all supportive documents that you have from the previous employer.

Hello Chintan,
First, answer a couple of queries:
1) Why did you want to leave? - the exact reason AND the reason you mentioned to the ex-employer.
2) Why did the ex-employer [at least the reasons he gave to you] NOT want to lose you - remember the 'relieving' factor comes subsequently.

Hi Chintan,
I shall definitely keep you posted if I come across a position that matches your expertise.
As TS had asked - is there a specific reason for moving out?
My first employer, a Recruitment consultancy for US-based companies, was also not interested in relieving me. However, since the company already practiced systems and was a well-known company, they kept up with their policies. I quit due to health reasons/night shifts. This was the real reason, and I took rest for a month, searched for a job, and got another position at a reputed company.
My reason was acceptable as my health was deteriorating due to night shifts, and my performance appraisal documents served as a good help to get through interview questions relating to "why did you leave your previous company?"
What I am trying to say is it should not look like as if you left the company due to performance/disciplinary issues. Just make sure you have the right documents/records to prove yourself. Again, the clients you worked with will serve as a good point of reference.
Good Luck!
