Dear all, I have been working with a college for past two years. My offer letter says
1. You will be initially on probation for a period of 1 yr. The period may vary depending upon your conduct and performance.
2. During probation one mth notice/ salary in lieu thereof will be applicable on either side, in case of termnation or resignation.
3. On successful completion of probation you will be placed in regular cadre of the college.
4. After placement in regular service cadre, 2 mth's notice/salary in lieu thereof will be applicable either side, in case of resignation / termination.
I completed 1 yr without any issue and my performance had also been good, but I was neither given an extension letter of probation nor a confirmation to regular cadre.
Now the college wants to terminate my services because they donot have enough no. of students taking admission this year and therefore, the workload is not enough to keep another staff (me). The notice they want to give me is one month and I am asking for two months.
Now, my question is:
1. What would be the legal notice period?
2. Will I considered still on probation or a regular/confirmed staff. Please keep in mind that I have completed 2 years without any issue.
Thanks and regards.
