Hi,
There was an employee in our firm. She was performing poorly, but since her probation had passed and she was a fresher, in order to not ruin her career, we told her that we were laying her off due to COVID so that her paperwork looks good, and she can find another job. We paid her two-month notice period without asking her to work since she has been constantly rude to us, and we feared that she may damage our software. So, we paid her notice period and told her to stop working, just take the money, and find another job. She also denied returning the company laptop, giving a COVID lockdown excuse, but during that time, she took leaves to visit her native place. At the time of hiring, she got a laptop from the office, so it was her duty to send it back. We even reimbursed her laptop courier charges. In such a case, I do not have good things to say about her at all in the experience letter and relieving letter. Is it mandatory for me to provide her experience and relieving letter? If yes, can I write the following in the relieving letter:
"This letter is to confirm your dismissal from the company, effective immediately. You have been provided with the severance pay for the two-month notice period. We thank you for your association with us during your tenure from 17th Feb 2020, till 13th July 2021 as a Junior Software Developer. Please remember that you have signed the confidentiality agreement and non-compete agreement with the company and shall continue to be bound by both the said agreements even after the termination of your employment. We wish you success in all your future endeavors."
And this in the experience letter:
"This letter is to confirm your association with us during your tenure from 17th Feb 2020, till 14th July 2021 as a Junior Software Developer following your termination."
