Reference Letter

[Clickitt]

This "no issue of reference letter" policy at your company seems very strange, especially if this is a MNC.


Are you sure you legally work for the company?



What I mean is, is it possible you actually legally work for a "job agency" (or some other third party company) with your day-to-day work assignment being at the MNC?


If you legally work for a "job agency" (or some other third party company) then...you don;t actually work for the MNC....even if your day-to-day work assignment is at the MNC office.


For example, lets say you legally/contractually work for a ABC Job Agency as a tech support engineer but ABC Job Agency actually assigns you to work at XYZ MultiNationalCorp...........The HR dept. at XYZ MultiNationalCorp cannot issue you a reference letter....because you do not work for XYZ MultiNationalCorp.

At best, maybe your managers at XYZ MultiNationalCorp could issue you with a "character reference" letter to say ".....you were a good contractor/consultant etc, etc, etc". Note I did not say ".....you were a good employee"

Yes donutbox, I legally worked for that company, I was on their payroll, I understand what your tried to said.

Actually in the same company (say XYZ) initially I was deputed by other consulting company (say ABC). After 2 years, XYS hired me on their payroll, where I worked for another 3 years.
I approached ABC to provide reference letter (for 2 years), they told as I was working at XYZ they cannot provide reference because they don't know job responsibilities I was performing there (XYZ definitely cant provide)

Then I approached XYZ to provide reference letter for 3 years when I was on their payroll they told, as per company policy in India we cannot provide you the reference letter

your employment contract that you and your employer/HR signed when they hired you.

your pay slips.

the explanation of your HR (just like what the others were saying)

cover letter/ your explanation, also stating the name of your boss who can be contacted to justify that you worked there)
