| Address: | Pune, Maharashtra, 411014 |
I have been approached by a consultancy firm Peoplefy for a job with Vodafone shared services India. I was selected and offered a job for the post of Deputy Manager by Vodafone India Services Pvt Ltd on 27 October 2015 with below joining location details
Base & Joining Location – Ground Floor, Cluster D, Wing -3, EON Free Zone, ITES Special Economic Zone, MIDC Kharadi, Pune – 411014
Joining location was clearly stated & printed as 'Pune' during HR interview and in all communication there after (includes CTC break-up email, letter of Intent by vodafone, etc) with Vodafone India Services Pvt. Ltd.
My base location was Bangalore, when I received this offer from Vodafone and hence it was treated as relocation case and I was offered relocation allowances (economy class air fare for me and my family, household transfers + one 2 wheeler transfer, etc standard relocation allowances).
I wanted to move to Pune i.e. near to my family which is located in Mumbai and hence I provided my acceptance readily to Vodafone HR after reviewing all the content of it (location, CTC, relocation allowance and other details) and then resigned from my current organization where I was to serve 60 days of notice period.
Date on which I received my letter of intent from Vodafone – 27th October 2015 (time – 12:03 PM)
Resignation date with my current organization – 27th October 2015 (later in the evening – 8:28 PM)
Post my resignation, I informed Vodafone HRs and Consultancy person confirming my last working day and resignation email copy.
After that, I completed all pre-joining tasks (air tickets booking, medicals, preparation of household goods and bike transfer). I kept Vodafone HRs and consultancy folks informed about the same in time to time manner.
Later after serving 59 days of my notice period and finishing up all last day formalities (just one day before) Vodafone HR called me up informing joining location is going to be 'Bangalore' and not pune. Same was printed as 'Pune' due to a typo mistake.
I received this email and a call on 24th December 2015 at about 5 PM in the evening whereas my last working day with my current organization was to be 25th December 2015. She also mentioned if I wish to join confirm the same by EOD itself i.e. 24th December 2015.
During telephonic discussion when I asked them how come they get to know such a big mistake on very last moment they just waived off the topic stating it was a typo error and they accept their mistake. One of HR from Vodafone also mentioned during telephonic discussion that all the expenses incurred (air tickets, preparation for household good transfer, etc) and considered as financial loss now, will be taken care by Vodafone.
Even Peoplefy consultancy person couldn’t do anything as for them client’s words were ultimate words.
After thinking a lot, going thru a lot of mental agony and seeing Vodafone HRs way of communication, I decided not to join them at Bangalore location as my main intent for this change and accepting the offer was go near my home town along with a better opportunity.
After all this incident now Vodafone HR team stated Vodafone is not liable to compensate for the financial loss that is incurred due to their so called typo error in offer letter besides my suffering and mental agony.
I was so happy to get a job near my home that, I didn’t even opt for a single call from other companies for Bangalore location, which would have definitely given me better compensation seeing this offer in hand.
Whatever may be the case, I want Vodafone to pay for my financial loss which incurred due to their typo error mistake.
I have sent them several emails stating the nature of expense (more than Rs. 7500 as expenses towards relocation preparation and in completing pre-requisites for joining Vodafone), thoughI am not seeing a positive response rather no response except one where HR manager stated they are no liable for such re-imbursement.
If Vodafone/their HR are not liable to pay for expenses incurred due to their mistake, who should be paying it??????????
Besides, there were 4 HRs (including consultancy person) involved in this over all process of recruitment and how come all of a sudden they realized their mistake on second last day of my notice period. I want them to fully compensate for my financial loss + for my suffering and mental agony.
