You can withhold his provident fund or other dues which are due from the company. You can issue him a legal notice after constituting the legal adviser, subject to the quantum of the amount. This is because normally legal advisers charge Rs. 1200 to Rs. 1500 in fees. If the recovery is ten times more than the fees, you can issue him a legal notice. However, please note that the recovery procedure through court is lengthy.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The employees have been working with your organization for 3 years, which means they are confirmed employees. They have been on leave for a long time. Have they taken prior approval from their immediate boss or HR in writing? If not, you can issue an absconding notice to them and advise them to report for duty immediately. If they do not do so, you can take legal action with documentary proof of outstanding/debit balance.

Unless the amount due from the employee is more than $30,000, it is not worthwhile pursuing the matter vigorously. The legal expert's fees, time, and effort involved are not worth it, especially since the chances are very low in this case. I suggest you should send a letter advising repayment of dues, withhold acceptance of resignation, and relieving procedure pending repayment. Follow up your letter with a stronger reminder every 3 weeks and forget it after 6 months. Putting pressure through known common sources has the best chance of getting back the dues.

Issue him a notice that until the amount is recovered from him, his resignation won't be accepted. In case he is to join somewhere else, he can't join until his resignation is accepted by your company. Furthermore, if he joins somewhere else, a single person cannot have two PF accounts.

Well, the best way to communicate with the employee is to send a reminder along with a warning. If you have received the resignation letter, please do not acknowledge receipt or approve it if you have not already done so. Additionally, inform the employee that documents such as the acceptance of resignation, relieving letter, and experience certificate will only be provided once any outstanding dues are settled through repayment.

This approach could be detrimental to the employee's career as they would be unable to showcase their work experience at your company. If they do manage to provide this information, it may result in negative feedback during background verification, making it challenging for them to secure a new job.

Furthermore, if the employee fails to respond and clear their dues, you have the option to file a legal complaint against them. This action would be justifiable based on the amount owed, including additional expenses such as consultation and lawyer fees, as well as the time required to resolve the issue.
