Employer asked to sign a letter of intent before joining the offer letter. The employer asked to sign a bond of 3 years along with a cheque under the pretext of training, otherwise, the offer letter won't be issued. I signed a bond for three years. The environment there is stressful. After serving for 2 years, there was a health degradation. I submitted my resignation after 28 months and consulted a neurologist. According to the neurologist's recommendation, the health degradation was due to stress and depression. I attached the recommendation to the resignation email and requested an early release, which was approved by managers and HR.
After 30 months, when I completed the knowledge transfer to my colleague, the handover of assets and closing of accounts were done, and the same was accepted as the last working day. The employer then started demanding a large sum of money for my relieving but never justified where they had invested that money in me. They illegally declared me absconding and terminated me despite me serving my notice period until the agreed last working day. Now, the employer is using the cheque to blackmail me.

Very clever ways of coercing exiting employees. Better consult an expert advocate to safe guard yourself.

You need to consult a criminal lawyer for his opinion in your case but cheque bounce case I do not think so serious, better to have legal points by experts in this profession.

Hello,
Nothing to worry. I suggest you drop a written complaint against your employer and mention everything clearly. Also, attach supporting documentation, such as the resignation email, etc. (You can file a complaint through online portals like https://samadhan.labour.gov.in/ or https://jansunwai.up.nic.in/).
If the labor department is unable to settle your case, you can consult an expert advocate regarding the same.
