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.

Companies have the right to repudiate the relieving letter if the N.P. was not served and charges not handed over. Pon

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.

HR themselves should understand and relieve the candidate immediately, they should not unnecessarily make unreasonable policies, 30 days as notice period is enough.

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.
Best regards,

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.
Thanks,
