Salary/NOC Withheld, Being Intimidated To Sign Documents After Resignation | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

Van Lee

Bangalore

I worked as a software developer in Bangalore. I have served my notice period of 2 months with confirmation from HR. It has been 3 months already since my last working day and the company has asked me to sign documents (after last working day) that greatly increase my legal obligations and prevent me from approaching courts in case of any disputes. After I refused to sign these documents, the company has on email: 1. threatened me that they will consider it as a breach of employment contract if I refuse to sign these documents. There is no clause in the employment contract that asks me to sign any such document after termination. 2. refused to release my pending salary 3. threatened to not provide a relieving letter I am really disturbed and seek your kind advice. Additional info: company regd in Bangalore and contract mentions exclusive jurisdiction of Bangalore. The company is a fintech startup with around 13 employees. Will S&E act would be applicable here.

You are required to get a Legal Notice served upon the Employer Company through your Lawyer and then Approach the Labour Court for getting the matter resolved. It will be done through court. You can file the case where the cause of action arose in your favour. Please give me Rank Five and follow me after reviewing my resume and book a consultation for further discussion and explanation if required.
