Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing on this forum regarding the termination of employment.
I was working with a private MNC as a workman in Bangalore for close to 7 months. I had joined the company in Apr 2015 and was under probation for 6 months. However, they have not confirmed my probation since I had resigned.
During our joining, consent was taken from the employees for a 'Training bond,' but there was no mention of the training bond and its clauses in the offer letter.
In my 6th month of probation, I received an offer from another MNC for a better role and package, based on which I sent a resignation email on 19OCT2015 to my manager.
Two weeks after my resignation, the HR is asking me to sign the bond forcibly or pay a bond amount of 2.5 lakhs, which was never discussed during our joining. They stated that if I fail to comply, the exit will not be smooth, and they will not provide any service letters or relieving letters, and I would be terminated.
The offer letter mentions a 2-month notice period.
Discussions were ongoing with the HR and management regarding the training bond since I had already resigned and was under my notice period. I had already served 1 month and 6 days when I sent a reminder email to my manager to confirm my last working day on 25 NOV2015. An exit meeting was arranged with the Senior HR and my Manager, where I was pressured to sign the bond. As I had already resigned, I refused to sign, and I was informed that I would be terminated immediately. I was asked to hand over the company belongings and documents, and I was told that a Termination letter would be sent as a hard copy to my mailing address along with the full and final settlement.
It has been over a month, and I have not received any communication regarding my relieving or termination. This delay is affecting my joining with the other company since I do not have confirmation of my relieving.
Can you please advise or suggest the legal action to be taken since this is affecting my career?
Best regards,

Is the new MNC aware of these problems? Are they ready to take you without old company documents? The point here is legal remedies will be long-drawn and will not be effective within the time frames your new MNC is ready to wait. I would suggest that you speak to your new employer and explain the matters to them. It is a tough call because your old company is rigidly holding on to its position.

Hello Sir,
Thank you for your response. I have informed the new MNC about my current situation, and they have extended my joining until the first week of January 2016. They insist that accepting my resignation or providing a relieving letter is necessary for joining. I am following up with my previous company's manager and Senior HR, but I have not received any response.
