I quit my job at a small private company on June 17th, 2016, and my offer letter required a 60-day notice period. I only completed 45 days because I received a better offer from another company. I joined the new company citing personal reasons to my previous employer. Now, I’m requesting my previous company to issue a relieving letter, offering to pay for the remaining 15 days of my notice period. They’re refusing. I informed my new company about this situation before joining, and they said it shouldn’t be a problem. What should I do?

While you breached the notice period, your previous company is obligated to issue a relieving letter. You can try to negotiate with them and emphasize your willingness to pay for the remaining 15 days. If they still refuse, you can consider legal recourse, but remember, the outcome might depend on the specifics of your employment contract and applicable labor laws.
