Experience letter denied
10 months ago
Hello, I had been working in this school for past one year and this school is my friend’s uncle’s. I was not given any joining letter or any salary slip. He continued to say stuff like I’ll increase your salary , your name is already registered as an employee etc. Although I had asked the management to provide me the same but they ignored my pleas. I was given excessive work and at the same time was also made to work extra hours without any facilities. I had given my resignation prior one and half months. Also submitted my application for issuing experience letter. It’s been two months since then.I was made to work on a meagre salary of 8 k. The school is at least 15 k from my place. I worked so hard but they are ignoring me and saying stuff like there no time limit when you can receive the same.
If you have any supporting documentation, such as jobs or assignments you completed during the time period, an official acknowledgment of your resignation letter, etc., you can file a complaint with the school's district inspector and the relevant labour commissioner for redressing your grievance.
In the absence of any documents/evidence supporting your claim, it may not be so easy to get your experience certificate from the concerned School that exploited your career by adopting unfair labor practices. However, if you could collect any documents like jobs/assignments done by you during the period, an entry in the attendance register of the School, an official receipt of your resignation letter, a receipt of the monthly payment register etc that supports your grievance, you may approach to the District Inspector of the School and simultaneously to the concerned Labour Commissioner for redressal of your grievance.
