Hi Experts,
After serving a leading corporate for 11 years, I tendered my resignation from a senior position, giving 1 months notice period, as per my appointment terms.
Instead of accepting the resignation, I was unceremoniously terminated thru a letter a week letter, without mentioning the grounds of termination. The information of termination was flasshed on the organisation's email network, which almost jeoparadised my employment at my next employer.
Next day I was barred from entering office. Later in the day I was met with the management team. Instead of giving me a chance to present my case, it turned out to be a session blaming me for the anomalies in my deptt (there was a financial fraud done by my team member which I only detected and 1-2 non-issues which were blown out of proportion).
Essentially, I became a victim of organisational politics. Also, I was joining a rival / competitor organisation.
I made a representation against my termination stating all the facts to the CEO. In response CEO's office assured me if I help in collecting huge amount of outstanding revenues, relieving letter and full & final settlement will be sorted out.
In good faith, I did everything. Now that all the monies have been received by them, they are not issuing me a relieving letter nor clearing my full & final settlement.
I have been following up with them for last 4 months. Have even written a mail to the CEO, without a response.
Against this backdrop, I have few questions :
1. Can a company terminate an employee without assigning any reason, once he has tendered his resignation ?
2. Can the co. withhold statutory benefit like PF ?
3. Can the co. withhold my gratuity, leave encashment, last months pay, salary, LTA, etc. ?
4. What recourse do I have now ?
Shall highly appreciate your inputs.
Thanks
