Resignation letter is not approved by company
10 months ago
What can I do if my resignation letter is not approved by company also after giving a notice period of 20 days.
In case the notice period falls short of the notice period required for tendering resignation from the organization as per the contract of employment, Employer may deny the acceptance of resignation and can even take disciplinary or legal action for the same against you. So go through the terms and conditions of your contract of employment i.e, the offer letter and take steps accordingly and despite of your compliance of the terms of employment, if the Employer denied or withheld the acceptance of your resignation and refused to settle your F & F Settlement dues, then reach out to the office of Labour Commissioner concerned for redressal of your grievance by making a complaint against the Company for the unjustified action that proves unfair labour practice on their part. In case your Company falls under the purview of the Shops and Establishment Act then you need to visit the office of the concerned Chief Inspector, Shops & Establishment for redressal of your grievance. However, in case you need any assistance in the matter of drafting the complaint or raising a dispute under I D Act before the Industrial Tribunal or under the Shops and Establishment Act, you may contact our legal team with the relevant papers.
we would advise you to first check the terms and conditions of your employment contract. Generally the employment contract mentions the notice period required for resignations. If you have fulfilled this criteria, the employer cannot hold you back.
Additionally, you can file a complaint with the labour court under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The labour court can order your employer to provide you with a relieving letter. To file a complaint with the labour court, you will need to submit a written complaint to the appropriate authority, along with any supporting documents, such as employment contracts, salary slips, and correspondence with your employer. You may also need to attend a conciliation or arbitration meeting with your employer before the matter is referred to the labour court.
A.Dear Sir,
Please approach the following authority or similar authority in a state
