e.g;
Delhi Shops and Establsihments Act:
30. Notice of Dismissal:
(1) No employer shall dispense with the services of an employee
who has been in his continuous employment for not less than three months, without giving such person at least one month’s notice in writing or wages in lieu of such notice:
Provided that such notice shall not be necessary where the services of such employee are
dispensed with for misconduct, after giving him an opportunity to explain the charge or charges alleged against him in writing.
{In your case apparently employer has not given any opportunity on record to explain. If yes your lawyer may opine that you have a better footing.}
(b) Notice or wages in lieu thereof under section 30—When to be given?
A plain reading of section 30 of the Act would make it clear that whereas the notice of one month under sub-section (1) is for the benefit of the employee, the notice under sub- section (2) is for the benefit of the employer.
{ Higher notice than 1 month is in benefit for the employer ONLY.}
