Settlement

I have given legal notice to my employer for wrongful termination which they not even bothered to reply. But before going to file case i want to ask them if they want to settle mutually or not. I told this to my lawyer  but he seems not interested. Can i ask some one else to mediate if yes, then whom. Will offering mutual settlement go against me if they seems not inetrested and adamant and i am complelled to file case.

You may explore the possibilities of settlement. You can approach HR department of the company in this regard.

Anyone including but not limited to yournown counsel; say Employee'sunions leaders, Trade Union leaders, your own elders of the family, well wishers.................area councillor, neutral persons, reputed persons, community leaders...........etc etc...............

 

The Labor Officials also conduct conclillaition proceedings...............

If conciliation proceedings fails and i am compelled to file case then will initiating mutual settlement from my end after sending legal notice go against me.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     11 July 2017

Doors to settle remain open.

Hwever let your own  very able local senior counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in Labor/Service matters opine and advise finally on mode and manner.

My question is if i initiate mutual settlemnet and that fails. and later on i file case. will this attempt of mine of failed mutually settlement go against me in eyes of court.

You want to settle the dispute by way of conciliation :-

Before filing of any case you have to approached many person to that company for settlement and from you expression I think that they are not interested to settle and if they are not interested they you may run several department / persons.

After filing of case if you / your’s lawyer oral submit before the labor commissioner for conciliation he/she can help you in legally and in presence of commissioner you can settle that matter. If conciliation fail then as usual case goes and commissioner will pass order.

You have two road which one you need you do.

When two parties are involved; anyone can step forward.

However, it shall certainly be better to cunsult your counsels,locally beforehand and prepare and also generate evidenceto avoid any foul play. 

 

Rest you are closest to facts and persons and may apply your own judgment.

I spoke to the HR for Full and Final payment. They said as i have sent notice for wrongful termination they will send me a email and go according to that. I waited and followed many times but  again and again they gave same reply but email did not came. Almost 1 month have passed in this so I thought they are taking me for a ride and wasting time so now i have sent them written email asking them for F & F payment.

Please adv. what are they upto according to you

It is good that you have brought the employer and its attorneys in line management/HR/admin/legal cells to this situation by your skills.
