Former employer withholding F&F settlement, pay slips, and Experience Letter. HR ghosting for a month. What are my options?
Hi everyone,
I’m facing a major issue with my previous employer and need some advice on how to handle it. I resigned and completed my notice period properly, but my Full & Final (F&F) settlement amount is significantly less than what I calculated.
To make matters worse:
They haven't provided my F&F payslip, so I can't even see how they calculated this amount.
They are withholding my Experience Letter / Relieving Letter.
I have been emailing HR, my manager, and finance daily for over a month now, and I am getting absolutely zero response. It's complete radio silence.
Because of this, I'm stuck. I need my experience letter for my background verification at my new job.
Has anyone faced this before? What are the best legal or administrative steps to force a company to respond and release my documents/dues? Any advice on labor law options or escalation tactics would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
