Labor law in india

Hi,

I was earlier (till Feb 2013) employed at a company "ABC". Company ABCs financial year is from March to March. They provide salary hike and bonus in every year March.

Due to my domestic issues, I had quit and resign from ABC in Feb 2013. During my resignation, my manager told me that ABC would not give me my yearly Bonus (due in March 2013) as I was quitting in Feb 2013.


But my arguement was, bonus was for the period from March 2012 to March 2013. And if I am resigning in Feb 2013, I am still entitled for my earnings in Bonus for 11 Months.

My manager denied and stated that I was not entitled for any Bonus as per ABCs terms and conditions.

I find this unreasonable and I think I will have rights in India.


ABC is located in Bangalore and is an MNC.


Do I have an option to file a case again this company at all?


Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 You are entitled to bonus for period of 11 months calculated on pro rata basis. If the company refuses you may approach labour court for award.

I agree with the views of above experts, a pro rata bonus can be paid, if your personal approach do not yield desired result, consult a local lawyer and issue a legal notice to the company demanding the same, let them answer that under which provisions of law they deny you the bonus payment, after which you can challenge the same in the court of law.
