Compensation on layoff or termination

You have to refer to the terms and conditions mentioned in the appointment letter. If the company is terminating the services, they have to adhere to the conditions agreed upon in the appointment letter.  Secondly, the service exigencies can be claimed as an excuse by the company for terminating the services and it can be held as valid.  However, if some irregularity has been observed, the matter may be taken with the company's management first and then through legal channel.  Consult a service law practicing lawyer, discuss the entire issues with him and proceed as per his further advise.

Thanks for the valuable suggestion.

You are welcome for your appreciation and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Hello,

This is in-continuation of my earlier message of 2 months ago. Today i.e 16th Oct, 2014 I got terminated from the startup company of Pune with an order of notice period of 1 months according to the offer letter terms. 

The entire communication regarding termination information is happened through online call , & finally the reason for termination is showed as 'Client dissatisfaction' which is related to same incidence of my earlier thread, I was removed from project within 13 days of work as I mentioned earlier on the month of july(24th july,14), then I was told to be assigned on another project.. after that I was on bench till September 15th, 2014. Next, was assigned on another project from 8th October, 2014 & started the project delivery.

In the mean time , I never received any email of warning of termination/any call regarding it. Today morning , the director of the startup just suddenly talked to me online that I am unable to satisfy my client , my presence in this startup company's project is huge risk , so , they are terminating me for it.

Then , he sent immediately , my termination letter on mail stating my last date of working as 16th nov, & asked for acceptance of letter from me.

I asked about my compensation on this respect, since I got a huge loss in my career & financial aspects, in this respect, he made second call on internet & stated that , they can pay me only 2 months for notice period in lieu of 1 month,

When I asked it's not correct judgement , he behaved extremely rudely forgetting as normal corporate behaviour specially with a female employee & used some abusive words in his next statements & threatened me that I can go to any lawyer of World & nobody can help me to get the right judgement & justice for this illegal notice & pressure of leaving the job. Even , I got great surprise while I didn't mention a single line of legal procedure , he started to threat me taking legal examples & blackmailed me that it was my last chance to get some help on this termination from the company, next, he would not talk to me anymore & disconnected the call.

 What shall I do next for this situation right now? I have the laptop & some IT accessories from the company & I am resided now in kolkata & working from there itself. How to proceed ... please guide.

 

Thanks,

Anindita

 

 

 

 

 

Has the company leveled any chare or stated any reason in Notice of termination issued to you?

Is it on record that so called ‘Client’ is not satisfied?

Do you have any communication on record that ‘Client’ was satisfied and charge is false?

Did you record the internet/on line calls of the employer?

Otherwise the employer ha stated the charge verbally to you and may include it in your personal file as notings for future reference.

Either you can accept 2 month’s notice pay and resign and get acceptance of resignation (withdrawal of notice of termination with good comments duly stated in Relieving Letter, reference check etc…………………or you can contest the termination notice (On merits only) and claim damages in court of law……………..

Choose wisely.

Consult a local Labor law Consultant/Service Lawyer with all docs on record and understand the merits before you proceed further…………………….

If you succeed to prove that you were located at West Bengal while terminated then you may succeed to agitate at West Bengal

You can also consult female IT employees/IT employee’s unions in West Bengal and elsewhere, Trade Unions like CITU/INTUC/AITUC/BMS………………..

The lawyer that has examined all docs on record, inputs and merits can advise you the best.

 

 

Hi,

 

To  answer to the following questions :

Has the company leveled any chare or stated any reason in Notice of termination issued to you?

 

The company did not mention any reason behind the termination, only stated as per clause of 'Termination' according to offer letter.

Is it on record that so called ‘Client’ is not satisfied?

The project delivery , status email sent to client all I have in record.

Do you have any communication on record that ‘Client’ was satisfied and charge is false?

 

Had verbal communication, but did not record that since that time could not understand about the arrival of this situation, but have all delivery details mail sent to client & response of client.

 

Did you record the internet/on line calls of the employer?

 

Yes, the call related to termination is recorded.

Otherwise the employer ha stated the charge verbally to you and may include it in your personal file as notings for future reference.

 

Moreover, the employer terminated me first giving 1 months notice period , & sent me mail about it, on next day, sent direct termination letter on mail with sending 1 month's notice payment.

 

In the final termination letter , the date of starting of joining is also mentioned wrong & asserted that , the same termination mail is sent in post too.

 

Now, how can an employer terminate an employee with 24 hours in two ways , first by providing one month notice & next day by sending 1  month notice payment ?

 

Since, during termination time , I was in Kolkata, can I agitate it from Kolkata High Court or labour court or have to file it in pune?

 

Please guide.

 

Thanks,

Anindita
