Prepare a public notice through Advocate and warn them such attempts in future has to be reported to Police.  (Not getting 33 months wages burns the heart, give some relief to workers on humanitarian ground)

Dear Querist,

 

The right to bring an employment to an end is mutual between the parties, this is consistent with the Court of Appeal’s decision in 7up Bottling Company Plc. V. Augustus (2012) LPELR- 20873). An employee, subject to agreed notice period or applicable legal provisions, has the corresponding right to terminate the contract of employment between him and his employer – if validly terminated no remedy is available to the employer in law.

 

In this situation, the company can settle the dispute by providing the salary if not given and also find solutions to avoid any strict legal action.

 

Regards,

Palak

Though the query is lettered with too many details, it is short of material facts. What was the duration of the particulars employee? Was she paid salary/wages for the period?

@P.Venu ,

She was hired on January 2019 and was paid for January and Feburary .

She was in probation , but due to Covid situation and the company was just in the initial stage , we stopped operations and opted her to work as a freelance on mutual concent to maintain  good terms .

She did not contribute  as a freelancer nor was she in touch with any of us since then.

She is claiming  money for April 2019 till November 2019 .

Company was shut during this time .All employees were given notice of termination of employment due to forcemajure .in May 2019 .

We restarted fresh team and new office but same private limited company in 2022 January .

She landed I  office with Political social workers Feburary 2022 , claiming she has lots of stress as she dose not have a job since then .

Fear is even if we agree to any compromise to maintain the situation , there might be other who can take reference and join hand with political parties to create damage.

With advises given - Feels its Goonda Raj and not and ideal condition to do business . But still trying to identify  and ethical solution with least damage .
