Hello,
I was a trainee employee of a company for 2 months. After 2 months I resigned from that company due to my career interests. So, I didn't serve my notice period. I had submitted my original certificates to the company. Now, I want my documents and relieving letter from company. So, they said that I should return my two months salary. I am ready to pay the salary. But the problem is, they are returning my documents but not giving me any relieving letter.
so my question is,
is it mandatory for an employer to give relieving letter to the employee, if he/she is returning 2 months salary (as per employer's conditions) without serving notice period??

Hello drohit61087,
When you are returning the 2 months salary, effectively you HAVEN'T WORKED THERE. So where is the question of any Relieving letter? Maybe that's what the HR was trying to do. Why should they pay for your mistake of joining them in the First place & then leaving in 2 months?
Whatever may be your reasons for resigning, leaving a job at such short durations isn't right in the career path. You should have thought of all the options BEFORE joining here.
Frankly, looking @ it in another way, you must have given an impression to the HR that 'you used them'. You joined them. Maybe when you didn't have any job, you joined them & they got the FALSE impression that you are serious about working there for whatever duration must have been discussed during the interview--it's upto you to decide if that was fair.
Also, there are many companies which don't return the Certificates until the full period is served or harass to return them. You are lucky that way.
Forget about it & begin your career afresh.

Hello tejsateesh,
thanks for your quick reply
See, whatever you said is right and I completely agree you.
I am getting my documents back, what I want from them is a relieving letter that states that I am no more employee of that company and I don't have any duties (like any dues and all) left for the company (as I have returned their 2 month's salary back which is satisfying their policies and conditions).
Now can they give it to me? or better to ask do I have right to ask for my relieving letter?

Hello drohit61087,
What I said earlier still stands good: effectively you HAVEN'T WORKED THERE. So, from the Company's perspective, you don't exist in their active records.
But why are you so insistent on the letter?
Maybe you can do one thing. You can return the 2 months salary WITH a Covering Letter which gives the cheque details of the money you are returning AND ALSO add a line that: I hope & understand that this is the full & final payment due to the company and there are no other dues that I owe to the company. Get the acknowledgment signed by the concerned person with Company seal.

Hello tejsateesh,
again,
thanks for your quick reply!!
I want relieving letter because I am getting job somewhere else and that new employer needs a proof that I don't have any duties left for previous employer and I am no more their employee.
So, now I have only one option left in my hand. As you suggested, I will write a cover letter stating that "this is the full & final payment due to the company and there are no other dues that I owe to the company"
I am Extremely thankful for your help. I hope your suggestion works for me. Thanks a lot.
I'll inform you what happens next. Thanks!
