I’ve landed a job at a new company and they need my previous work experience details. Back in 2016, I worked at a small consultancy firm. When I left, they refused to give me a relieving letter because I hadn’t completed a year there, even though I trained and handed over my work to my replacement. I had to leave because of their unfair treatment, despite serving my full 15-day notice period (it was supposed to be one month). They even withheld my last month’s salary. Is there a way I can get this letter from them now? Should I email them? Do I have legal grounds to ask for it? They did release my PF amount when I asked, would that help to prove my employment? What’s the best course of action? I was working at a senior management level.

You have legal grounds to request a relieving letter as your employment with the consultancy firm was terminated despite completing your notice period. You can send a formal email requesting the letter, referencing your employment period and the circumstances of your departure. Your PF release confirmation can be used as proof of employment, but it is advisable to consult a lawyer for guidance on the best course of action.

I’ve been working as a temporary peon at LIC for the past 10 months. All the permanent peons have been promoted, so there are no regular positions available. My contract states that if a permanent peon is hired, my job will end. The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of regularizing full-time temporary employees in Tamil Nadu. What will happen to our future if LIC replaces us with permanent employees? What options will we have if we are let go?

I recently got my car serviced at Mahindra First Choice in Coimbatore, and it’s been a nightmare! They’ve damaged the airbag mechanism, messed up the steering controls, and used fake parts (PANARA) claiming they were from Mahindra’s own hub. The car is now riddled with issues, and I’ve been forced to visit the service center multiple times. They even delivered it back half-wet, creating a foul odor. It took them 15 days to “service” the car, and now I’m back to square one. The service manager, Mr. Dhinesh, was incredibly rude, and the customer care team hasn’t responded to my complaints after two days. What can I do to get this resolved?

After working with my company for three years, I had a good run until recently. I voiced some concerns about decisions made in my department, particularly about the changes to my goals in December and the unfair internal promotion process. Frustrated, I sent an email to my director expressing my desire to switch departments or leave. I realize this was a mistake. Now, my supervisors and HR are pushing me out.

I have my bank statements as proof, and other colleagues are frustrated too. The inconvenience this causes is truly significant. This is the final straw! Can you advise me on how to take legal action against the company for this? Thanks for your help!
