How to Get Relieving Letter from HR After Absconding

by

If you absconded from your job and didn’t serve the notice period, then there are two ways to get your relieving letter are 1. by writing an apology mail to the HR or the superior officer, and 2. by paying the notice period amount. 

If you abscond, you will lose your legal right to get your experience and relieving letters. But if you deal with this situation in a harmonious and professional way, your company can provide the relieving letter.

The first thing you have to do after absconding is write an email to your HR stating that you left the job for some personal/emergency reasons. In case the reason is very specific, it is better to be specific about it.

Take 2 to 3 days after absconding and write an email to the HR, or you can also make a phone call.

(You can send this sample apology email to the HR
◦ Note: Don’t use the word “Abcond” in the email.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apologise for not serving the notice period at Lorem Software Solutions. I had to leave the job suddenly because of personal reasons.

I regret not serving the notice period due to unavoidable personal reasons. I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

I respect the company and the work I did here. I now want to complete the exit process properly. 

I kindly request that you give me the relieving letter and help with the final settlement.

I am willing to pay the notice period amount if the company asks me to do so.

Please consider my request. 

Thanking you.

What to Do If the Company Doesn’t Give a Relieving Letter

  1. Explain Honestly to the New Employer
  • You can tell the new employer that you left the job without notice due to personal reasons, but later informed HR.
  • You can show the email as proof that you tried to settle things properly.
  1. Start as a Fresher Again
  • If you worked only for a short time and didn’t gain much experience, you can apply for jobs as a fresher.
  • It is better to start fresher than to hide or lie in your new job interview
  1. Talk Directly to the Main Person in the Company
  • You can try to meet or speak with the director/manager/HR head of the company.
  • If you explain your situation politely, they may agree to give the relieving letter.
  1. Join a Small Company First
  • Small companies may not ask for a relieving letter.
  • You can join, gain some experience to get better jobs in the future.
