A. Dear Client,

It's unusual to serve a company for over six years without an offer or appointment letter. If the company withholds your Full and Final (F & F) Settlement dues upon resignation, it constitutes unfair labor practices under the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. Additionally, employees are entitled to gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, after five years of continuous service.

In the absence of an appointment letter, other documents like salary slips, job cards, or EPF/ESIC ...ReadMore

icon Serving notice period when not mentioned in employment contract

Hello good day. I am a doctor who worked as a medical officer for an NGO for four months. Due to personal reasons I had to resign prematurely. There was no clause about serving notice period in my emp


A. Dear Client,

When an employer defaults, it shouldn't negatively impact the employee. The employment contract takes precedence over the company's internal policies if not explicitly stated otherwise. Therefore, in this situation, your recourse is through the Civil Court. You should file a civil suit against the NGO to recover your dues after serving them a legal notice.

A. Dear Client,

If you're considering taking up another job while already employed, it's important to resign from your current position before joining the new company, especially if there are clauses in your employment contract prohibiting full-time work elsewhere.

1. Joint Declaration Form (JDF): Fill out a Joint Declaration Form with the correct details, including father’s name, joining date, exit date, etc. This form should be signed by both the employee and the employer who entered the incorrect data. Su ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Before joining a new company, it's essential to tender your resignation and obtain a relieving letter from your previous employer to prevent overlapping service. Background verification checks (BGV) are common procedures conducted by organizations to verify candidate information. EPFO records verification through UAN is crucial for BGV, ensuring employees aren't using false identities. Negative BGV results can lead to employment rejection or termination.

A. Dear Client,

A company is bound by the terms outlined in the employment contract or appointment letter, governing the relationship between employer and employee. Without complying with Section 9 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, an employer cannot unilaterally alter an employee's service conditions. Upon resignation and completion of the notice period, the employment relationship terminates, and the contract becomes frustrated. The employer is obligated to issue a relieving letter and sett ...ReadMore
