Relieving Letter not issued

Sonal (Querist) 11 August 2010 This query is : Resolved
My brother has resigned from a company one and a half month`s back and joined a new company. He was not a confirmed employee of previous company and as per the terms of his appoinment letter he gave 24 hrs notice to the company. He has done all the exit formalities and his company told him that he would get relieving letter withen a week, however now the company is not giving releiving letter or even resignation acceptance confirmation even after repeated request/reminder.They are also not confiming the date when he will get the letter and telling him that it will take time might be 6 months or might not get it at all.they are aslo telling him that if he wants he can join back but they are not sure when he would get letter. Please advise how he can take his relieving letter as his current organization has asked him to submit the same withen a week failing to which his sevices would be terminated.Is there any legal action which he can take against the company or is there any authority to whome he can report this issue so that they can help him to get the letter. please advise as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Sonal

Please issue a lawyers notice stating that if the relieving letter is not issued forthwith the company is liable to pay your brother all the losses. Please complain to labour department and Human Rights Commission.
