I realise that different laws apply to different countries, and that is why I asked in the sub of my country first. Might not receive an answer there though, so asking here as well.
I work for a company that is really budgeting at the moment. They're getting production costs down by all means so they fired a bunch of people and they're constantly trying to screw the remaining people over when it comes to money.
I resigned a month and a half ago and they don't want to officially confirm when my last day is. It's ridiculous. My manager keeps telling me that he can't get a hold of HR and that they're “being a nightmare”. I just found out that other managers are telling their subordinates the same exact thing about HR being a “nightmare”. I know that my company gives out scripts to managers to say certain things, so this is obviously one of those things. But why?
I just received an email to return my IT equipment and in it there's a field 'Employee's last day' and next to it there is “No permission”. At the bottom it says “No permission means that the employee has no permission to view this information”. This is getting too ridiculous.
What reason does my company have for withholding this information from me?
I'm thinking, but my notice period was supposed to be 3 months according to my contract but we agreed for me to do only 2 months. Are they supposed to pay me for the whole 3 months and not officially telling me in writing when my last day is is going to somehow help them get around this requirement?
Do any reasons for my company doing this come to mind? Remember that my company will shamelessly go the extra mile to screw us over with money at the moment.
Edit: I'm also remembering that my friend who left the company received her last pay but they are being difficult with sending her the payslip for it. That being said, she said that the amount of money she received seems about right.
