SERVICE CERTIFICATE TO BE MODIFIED AS SEPARATION ON "MEDICAL GROUNDS"
12-Dec-2025 (In Labour & Service Law)
My daughter worked in a Private Company for 5 months. Due to severe eye infection and back pain, she could not continue further and submitted the medical certificate. The company has issued her a Service Certificate mentioning that she was separated on 17th April 2025. Due to this remark SEPARATED she is not getting any job in other company. Kindly advise in this regard.
You can send a lawyer lawyer notice intimating the institution to issue the experience certificate in proper format to do the employee if the company is not willing we can approach the labour court as well as other appropriate forums for getting the Experience certificate in the proper format
The term “separated” in a service certificate is prejudicial and unnecessary, especially when employment ended due to medical reasons duly supported by a certificate; your immediate steps should be to (i) send a formal written request/legal notice to the company asking them to correct the service certificate to neutral wording such as “resigned due to medical reasons” or “employment ceased on medical grounds”, enclosing the medical records, (ii) clearly state that the present wording is causing loss of future employment and amounts to unfair labour practice, and (iii) if the company refuses, file a complaint before the Labour Officer/Assistant Labour Commissioner, who can direct correction of records—courts and labour authorities consistently hold that employers cannot issue stigmatic certificates when separation was not due to misconduct; this issue is usually resolved quickly once legal notice or labour intervention is initiated.
