As i have not seen the company before my joining, it was 2.5 hours of distance from my home also public transport is very crowded in this route. On the day i joined the company, i just signned the offer letter because 2 HR person was standing on my head, while returning home i met with an major accident, as a result my left hand, shoulder and back was injured.

I informed this to hr they asked me for medical documents from government hospital i submitted that and put my resignation. As i have not even touched they code they still asking me for notice period for 2 months.They are putting mail every 10 days to pay 1 Lac of penalty. As i have not even started the code, Can they still ask me for notice period. Also Doctor told me not to travel for long hours i informed this also to them and shown declaration from doctor still they are mentally torturing me to pay 1 lac to company.I am really getting mentally disturb from their mails.

Employee is covered while from home to office and back to home.

Throw the burden of claim/treatment/compnesation if any on the company.

Approach employee's/Trade Unions leaders,labor Law Consulatnt/servioce Matters lawyer/Law Firm............................and they know precise ways to handle such matters.

 

It is noted that you were under probation period.....................................and were designated Software Engineer.

 

Did you sign any document to register with 'NSR' of NASSCHOM too?

Are you a member of any employee's/Trade Unions?

 

Revert.Resoloution is possible.

Thanks To All For The Suggetion.

 

After my recovery will i still have to serve my notice period?

Kumar Doab (FIN)     24 July 2015

Notice period of 2 months may not be neccessarily applicable even if it is inserted in appointment letter.

 

If it is not applicable then how can recovery be enforced.

 

After recovery i.e. notice pay in lieu of notice period, why should anyone reqquire to serve notice period.

 

Approach your Labor Law Cosnultant/Service Matters lawyer with confidence.

 

 

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     25 July 2015

Well advised by experts, more particularly by expert Mr. Kumar Doab. You May send a notice to the company claiming reimbursement of medical expenses from them as the accident took place while returning from duty, this may make them to maintain low profile after that and may be they may even negotiate to drop the claims from both the sides. 

Kumar Doab (FIN)     25 July 2015

@ Naresh,

 

It is reiterated that:

 

"

Notice period of 2 months may not be neccessarily applicable even if it is inserted in appointment letter. If it is not applicable then how can recovery be enforced."

 

Therefore you msut not rush to make the payment.

 

 

Rather you shoudl certainly be entitled to get the compensation/medical expenses from the company. Hence send and stake the claim under proper acknowledgment.....................under the guidance of your able Labor Law Cosnultant/Service Matters lawyer with confidence.

 

You can rather suceed to get the payment of from company.

Don't make any payment until you are advised by your lawyer.

Hi,

I hope the accident happen on 4th of May 2015 only and you signed offer letter on same date only, I think you need not to submit the resignation letter if this things happen on same date and you not joined duities your details and offer by the company side and its records is Offer Rejected or not joined candidate do you have any Emp Code provided by the company or not

if not then Dont worry i here agree with the Kalaisevan sir and Saravannan sir also 

its just think if any body hired in any position has been as per company records shwing offer rejected is applicable for any kind of duce is such the business done by company you need to meet to the labour commissioner and expain every think if any written notice you have received from the company

Kumar Doab (FIN)     26 July 2015

The employment has commenced on the day mentioned in order of appointment.

If the state Govt. of UP has not granted exemption from standing orders then standing orders may apply. If standing orders apply but are  not certified Model Standing Orders shall apply.

As Per Model Standing Orders ;Sec:13; Notice period during Probation Period is NIL.

Model Standing Orders is a statue and shall prevail upon any private agreement/policy/rule etc that employer has drafted and signed with employee be it appointment letter/contract of employment/HR policy/service Rules and Regulations etc etc.

 

The employer is deducting both employer/employee’s PF contribution under ‘Head: Deductions’ from employee’s monthly/annual wages, which is illegal. Employer’s contribution can not be part of employee’s monthly/annual gross/CTC. The EPFO can’t agree with it.

This can be  a  reason to reject the employment………………….after signing the offer letter.

 

The company has affirmed the application of insurance policy/coverage.

However even if there is no insurance policy employee is still covered and cost is to be born by employer.

 

Location of Work is not mentioned however reporting/joining was at Noida.

IT/ITeS companies are governed by (Name of the state) shops and Commercial Establishments Act that was enacted to govern the service conditions of employees working in such establishments, covered by the Act.

 

U.P. Dookan aur Vanijya Adhishthan Adhiniyam, 1962

https://labour.up.nic.in/labourcommissioner/dookan62.htm

15.  Deductions from wages.—No deductions from the wages of an employee shall be made except to such extent, and in such manner, as may be prescribed.

20.  Termination of employment by an employee.—(1) No employee, other than an employee engaged for a specified period or in a leave vacancy, shall terminate his employment, except after notice of thirty days, or of such longer period, as may be required under the terms of his employment.
