Hi Sir, I was working in a startup company in Bangalore. I worked there for one year. After one year, I got a better job opportunity from a new company. Initially, the new company wanted me to join early. Accordingly, I resigned from the startup company and requested them to release me early, but the management didn't accept my request and told me to serve a full notice period of one month as per the company's policy. I agreed to their request and planned to join the new company when my notice period in the old company was over. The new company fixed my joining accordingly.
While I was serving my notice period, suddenly after 12 days, the HR manager informed me that we are considering yesterday's date as your last working day and you are relieved, and you are requested to submit the office laptop.
This sudden discontinuation of my employment left me jobless without any work until the time I would join another company. This will be a huge loss of salary (of 18 days) for me, and I would not be able to pay my EMIs. I emailed my HR about this, but there was no reply from them.
The major events with dates are given below:
8th May '23 - I resigned from my position, and the discussion was done with my manager. 8th May '23 - I requested for relieving me earlier than my notice period, but the request was denied by management. 13th May '23 - Management accepted my resignation, but the Last Working Day was still not decided. 15th May '23 - The Last Working date was decided and set as 7th June '23 as per the One Month's Notice policy. 15th May '23 - I accepted the company's decision of serving one month's notice as per the company’s policy and planned to work till 7th June. 16th May '23 - I planned my joining the new company on 8th June based on my Last working day in the startup company, which was 7th June. 16th - 20th May '23 - All handing over processes were going on, and knowledge transfer was happening from my side. 20th May '23 - Suddenly I was informed on 20th May that my Last Working day is 19th May. This was done without my consent. 20th May '23 - My company's email and access were blocked too. 20th May '23 - I informed the company that this decision would make me jobless until I join the other company, and I would suffer a monetary loss. 20th May - till date - No reply from my company for my mail and WhatsApp messages.
Please help me to get the salary because the company forcefully discontinued my employment without any prior information or my consent.

Hi,
Initially, you had requested early relieving, and your ex-employer insisted on one month's notice. However, you were later relieved by 19th May.
Primarily, when you had agreed to serve notice until 7th June, they should have either allowed you to serve notice until 7th June or paid the salary for the period from 20th May to 6th June.
Have you collected your Full and Final Settlement or Full and Final Statement? If not, contact HR in person (instead of emailing/sending messages through WhatsApp) and explain that based on their advice, you agreed to serve notice until 6th June, and early relieving is their decision. Therefore, you expect to receive the salary until the mutually agreed last working day on 6th June.
Explain to them that you are facing financial constraints. I hope you will be joining your new employer's office as planned.
