Request Letter for Full and Final Settlement after Resignation

Not all employees get their pending salary cleared immediately after their resignation. Some employees might have to follow up to get their dues from their employer.

If your employer is not cooperating with you, and not paying any amount at all, then you can propose for a full and final settlement on the outstanding salary. You can suggest a lump sum amount or ask for advance cheques towards pending dues payment in installments.

Here are samples of request letters for full settlement payment after resignation.
