Hello everybody, I need your valuable opinion as to what are the legal rights available to a women executive who was initially given appointment at Managerial level on probation period of 6 months which commences from 16.02.2015 and gets over on 16.08.2015 and after the expiry of probation period the executive has written mails and requested verbally to give confirmation to her appointment but despite that the Company is not giving her permanent status and when she demanded the same the management is putting undue work pressure on one pretext or the other and harasses her. She is working @ the package of Rs 6.50 LPA. Please advice what to do?

It is duty of the bosses to conduct appraisal well in time in transparent manner and provide the copy of appraisal and resultant extension of probation or confirmation of employment upon expiry of probation period.
Take up the matter preferably in writing under proper acknowledgment.
Remain gentle and amiable.
If required take up with good offices of appointing authority,MD,Chairman...............
If it is clear that you shall be subjected to harassment you can contemplate to choose a better organization with better portfolio and remuneration.
Let them suffer the loss with your departure.
If the idea is to build a file against you, to force separation then firm up your next venture ASAP.
If you are contemplating harassment at workplace,unfair practices be prepared to handle all moves of employer and consult an able labor Law Consultant/Service Matters Lawyer/Law Firm ASAP.

In Private job, the service rules are not written / observed like in public sector.
You can go through your appointment letter.
If any legal right is overlooked by the company, you can proceed legally.

Dear Akhand Devi,
I agree with Rajendra K Goyal Ji. I have certain points to add:
1. You have been appointed in managerial capacity with a package of Rs. 6.5 Lakh per annum. Thus you are not a "Workman" and as such not get the assistance of Industrial Disputes Act;
2. When you have been recruited, the terms and conditions of your service is given in your appointment letter. If your organisation has any Standing Order regulating the conditions of service of the employees, then the same would have to be followed.
3. In general, most of the private firms do not have any detailed rules regarding the service conditions. Hiring and firing is the general norms. Only a faint shade of the natural justice can save the employee.
Lastly, I would advise you to consult the applicable terms and conditions so that proper course of action may be taken up.
