About Experience Letter from my old employer

 

To issue relieving order or experience letter is the mercy of employer. There is no law, which may compel an employer to issue the same. But normally if the relations of employee with his employers are smooth, no employer refuses to issue the same if an employee leaves his employment in healthy atmosphere. 

 

Send him a polite letter about leaving the job from the date when discontinued his service requesting for the experience certificate. Send this folded letter WITHOUT ENVELOPE by speedpost + AD

As per the Shops & Establishment Act, it is mandatory for the employer to give you a service certificate. While he may not give his remarks on the service, the service certificate would cover the period of employment. Demand for this or lodge a complaint with the local labour inspector. vasudevan

i don't think that shop and commercial establishment act of any state prescribes any such provision. at least u.p.shop and commercial act does not contain any such provision.

Hi,

Thanks for replies.I have already send polite request and they told me it will be given  soon,but till date i didn't get (around 20days from day of commetiment).Now what can employee do in this satge ?

 

Thanks 

You have mentioned that:

-"I have already sent polite request" hope it by letter under acknowledgment.

-"and they told me it will be given soon", it is believed it is verbally.

You may send a gentle reminder mentioning your representations in chronological order with date time, phone numbers, name of employee contacted by you, and letters supplied by you to good office of your appointing authority, MD, Head-HR, Company secretary, and request to supply by registered post with AD. If it does not fetch you desired results you can approach the labor inspector.

 

For your next venture your F&F, salary slip of last drawn salary showing DOJ, copy of resignation with acknowledgment, acceptance letter should suffice. You shall have to convince your next employer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As mentioned by Mr. Tripathi, if the employee is to be given his relieving and experience letter at the mercy of HR's then the other company should not ask the employee for experience or relieving letter... the purpose of which is to authenticate the working experience and to rule out any dual employment.

 

There had to be a proper mechanism in place and it is high time the govt look into this.
