Due to a layoff, the company asked me to resign, and I resigned in March. My notice period was one month, but they asked me to stay due to my good performance. Consequently, I continued working. In the meantime, I encountered a problem with one of my co-workers, and I left the company in June. I didn't collect my relieving letter, but I have the resignation acceptance letter that I sent in June. I am worried about my future career prospects without the relieving letter. Can anyone please provide guidance on this issue? It is causing me a lot of stress.

Hi,
A resignation acceptance letter is different from a relieving letter. While a resignation acceptance letter is acceptable to some extent, a relieving order alone stands as proof of your relieving from the employer.
So, why not contact your ex-employer and request a proper relieving letter.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The company is legally obligated to provide a relieving letter upon resignation. It is crucial for future job prospects. You can request it formally.

Hi, Without a relieving letter, it will become a problem for you in the future in many ways.
1. Consideration of current experience in arriving at grade and salary bands.
2. Cancellation of the job appointment since no experience letter is present (companies may assume the candidate was terminated for misconduct in the absence of the letter, thus leading to a reluctance to hire such candidates).
3. You may choose to forgo your previous experience due to the lack of a relieving letter and start afresh. This too may become problematic if you had previous PF deductions that could affect your EPF account.
Request your previous HR to issue the relieving letter.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is partially correct. It is essential to have a relieving letter for future job prospects and to address PF concerns. However, appointment cancellation due to lack of experience letter is not a common practice.

Resignation acceptance letter means your resignation, submitted to management, has been accepted. However, this does not infer your relieving duty from the company. Therefore, please ask for a relieving order separately and also your experience certificate with the company.

Dear Anonymous,
Just ask. There's nothing that will get lost. If you have any issues, speak to your new company and explain the constraints. If they know you, it will not be a problem.
If the mistake is on your end regarding the old company issue, apologize and resolve it. If it's not, there's no need to bother. Speak to your new employer. However, your new employer may try to reduce pay or benefits. So, try to secure the job through your well-known circle. It will help you.

If you currently have a job in hand, we suggest you visit your previous employer and explain your position to request your relieving order and experience certificate, without losing further time.
It is always better to collect the relieving order and work experience certificate before the final exit from any company.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply is incorrect. It is not advisable to visit the previous employer after resigning to collect the relieving letter. A relieving letter is typically issued at the time of separation and not after. It is essential to have the relieving letter for future job opportunities and documentation purposes.

Yes, you can still find a job without your relieving letter. Having your resignation acceptance letter from June should be sufficient for most employers to confirm your employment status with your previous company. While a relieving letter can be helpful, it's not always mandatory. Focus on your skills, experience, and qualifications during job interviews, and if necessary, you can explain the situation with your co-worker. Don't let this stress you too much; your future career prospects can still be positive. Good luck with your job search!

It is possible to get a job without a relieving letter, but it may be more difficult. Many companies require a relieving letter as part of their onboarding process, as it is a way to verify your previous employment and ensure that you left your previous job in good standing.
Here are some things you can do to increase your chances of getting a job without a relieving letter:
Be honest with potential employers about why you don't have a relieving letter. Explain that you were laid off and then asked to stay on, but that you had to leave early due to a problem with a co-worker.
Provide other documentation of your employment, such as your resignation acceptance letter, pay stubs, or tax documents.
Be prepared to answer questions about your work experience in detail.
Offer references from your previous supervisor or colleagues.
Some companies may be more willing to hire you without a relieving letter if you have a strong job application and interview. You may also have more luck with smaller companies or startups.
If you are struggling to find a job without a relieving letter, you may want to consider working with a recruiter. Recruiters can often help you find jobs that are a good fit for your skills and experience, and they may be able to negotiate with potential employers on your behalf.
