Resigned but employer is not supportive

I am working with one of the leading health insurance company and I have resigned from my job on 15 jan 15, My notice period is 45 days or 45 days salary, so i opted for 17 days working and other salary return option as per left days. But now my company is not relieving me and saying they will not provide relieving/experience letter to me and take legal action against me if i abscond.

As per my appointment letter the note is "your employment will be subjected to termination at any time by giving 45 days notice in writing by either side or by payment of 45 days salary in lieu of notice, provided that in case of the notice of termination is given by you, it shall be company's discretion to decide whether you need to work out full period of notice or whether your services shall be terminated at some earlier date determined by company.

Dual employment concequences

Hi Experts,

I accept the mistake that I have worked for two companies for 10 days. The last working day in my previous company is 20th oct & the joining date of my current company is 10th october. Now my current company may terminate me & that's okay for me.

But I want to clear this so that I will not face any legal action from any of the companies.

Let me inform that I have not withdrawn salary for october month from my previous company.

What are the legal actions I could face. & being a good citizen, what I can do from my side to clear the legal aspects, while accepting my mistake?????

Gratuity

Hello Sir / Madam,

I have served a IT / ITES based company in Tamilnadu - Coimbatore for a period starting from March 2008 till Nov 2014. My resignation was accepted and was relieved from duty on November 2014 with a small farewell party hosted by the management. The company provided me the salary certificate, relieving order and experience certificate duly at the last working day with the company.

When I was relieved from duties, our HR department stated that they will pay my Gratuity amount after 30 days of my last working day with the company, which did not happened. I waited for 40 days and started following up with the HR department for the release of my Gratuity. Initially HR stated that our CEO needs to work with the company auditor regarding the gratuity of mine and i was waiting few more days, however got a response from HR stating that the CEO of the company is contemplating the forfeit of my Gratuity.

I was completely shocked and requested for a meeting with the CEO which happened recently and during the meeting CEO was claiming that they cannot release the full Gratuity and laid the reasons below:

1. During my employment with the company, in the year 2013 the management had to process a refund to a particular international client, for whom the company was offering support services. I was managing the support team at that time. CEO stated that the refund was processed mainly because of my negligence of work.

2. CEO now states that my overall performance was not satisfactory all through my tenure with the company and am unfit to deliver matching the expectations of the company.

CEO stated that they can think of paying only a portion of Gratuity and the management will withheld the portion of my Gratuity and adjust for the losses.

Am really surprised to learn such comments right after i requested for my Gratuity.

Can you experts please advise on how i should proceed further and what should i need to do at this juncture.

Thanks,
Ravi Kumar
