Hi,
Help needed!
I have over 3 years of experience in the IT field, but due to some reasons, I had to leave my current job abruptly because of an emergency. I informed my manager that I would not be able to come to work for one month, but he gave me an ultimatum to either report to work or face termination. I requested for Leave Without Pay (LWP), but they did not provide it. Consequently, I decided to resign and requested a settlement as I couldn't serve the notice period. However, they rejected my resignation and terminated my employment. Subsequently, they sent me a mail for clearance of dues (an amount was asked for which I paid). I inquired about obtaining an experience letter and a relieving letter, to which they responded that I would receive the appropriate letters. Now that I have secured a job at another company, my concern is what to communicate to them at the time of joining, as I am uncertain about the kind of letter my previous employer will provide.
Till now, they haven't provided any documents, but they have assured that they will do so. I have been in regular contact with my manager, but I am apprehensive about joining the new company in case they fail to provide the necessary letters or issue a different one.
Another question I have is, if they issue a termination letter, will the new company that has selected me still accept my employment?
I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram

You didn't have enough leave to cover your emergency situation? Additionally, were all your communications verbal or in written form? What reason did you state in your resignation letter, and was the rejection of your resignation provided in writing? What was the reason given for the rejection? Lastly, what does your termination letter state? If you accepted the termination with the stated reasons, there may be little room for dispute. Please provide further details to receive appropriate advice from the forum.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually, due to an emergency, I went home. I applied for a one-day leave but took 3 days off. I received a call from my manager requesting me to apply for leave. I explained that I could not come back early and asked for additional leave or leave without pay (LWP). However, he denied my request and instructed me to report to the office. As a result, I resigned on the same day, indicating that I would return the following week to complete any necessary formalities and settle any outstanding amounts as advised by HR. I mentioned that I could not serve notice as I had to leave promptly.
They did not respond to my resignation and later informed me that I was terminated for not reporting to work for 3 days. I have emails confirming my resignation and the subsequent rejection, as well as a notification regarding the payment of outstanding dues.
After 7 days, I made the payment and provided a screenshot as evidence. Following this, I requested my manager to issue a no-dues letter, experience letter, and any other required documents. His response via email was that the process is "in progress."
My current concerns are:
1. If they state "terminated" in the letter, will it affect my prospects at my upcoming job in mid-September 2013?
2. Despite paying the outstanding amount and maintaining communication, they proceeded with termination. While my manager is understanding, I am unsure of the next steps.
As mentioned in a previous correspondence with Saji, I had insufficient leave, which is documented in the email thread.
Thank you for your response, Saji. Please advise on the best course of action for me.

It is assumed that since you applied for a one-day leave and did not report to work, they treated you as an absconder and asked you to report immediately, which you declined by resigning, resulting in your termination. The best approach would be to calmly explain the situation to the company and try to resolve the issues amicably. They have the option to modify the termination letter if they choose to do so.

Hello friend,
Be truthful to your company where you are working now. Approach the boss and tell him what happened with you. Collect some written or printed records from your mailbox and show him. He will understand you. But remember to be truthful in whatever you tell or say to him.
