Job termination without notice

(Querist) 17 March 2020 This query is : Resolved 
The company have terminated to my job on February 10, 2020 after arriving at the company’s at ICT Testing & Compliance Pvt Ltd in the morning, I was asked by my Manager (Mr. Bhupendra Singh), to immediately go to conference room. I entered the conference room to receive my letter of immediate termination letter without notice period.

However, I was not given any warnings and summarily fired on the above date.

I have been working at ICT Testing & Compliance Pvt Ltd for the past 7 years.

The reason for my dismissal was unclear. It seems to have been connected to an alleged incident with a colleague that never happened.


However, I found myself terminated without having obtained any infraction notices whatsoever. I have also submitted/handover all the assets provided by company which I have taken during my tenure (e.g. laptop, mouse, charger, etc.).

So, I am requesting you to please issue my full and final settlement amount in next cycle period of salary, which included followings:

1. 3 Month's salary (According to The Industrial Dispute Act of 1947 & Payment of Wages Act., if company terminate the employee without notice period)

2. EPF Amount. (According to Employees' Provident Funds Act, 1952)

3. Gratuity amount (As per the, Payment of Gratuity Act 1972)

Also request you please provide the Experience letter.

but still not get any feedback from thereside. they have just release the 9 days salay of feb month.

Request you, please advise what can i do.?

Dear Sir,
You may approach Labor Commissioner under Section 12 of Industrial Disputes Act who is having ample powers to mediate between yourself and your employer to resolve the issues. If you come within the definition of worker then you can raise a dispute before Hon’ble Labor Court.

please advise ?

You are not labour in the given facts as defined under Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as such you are not entitled to invoke the jurisdiction of Labour Court. You can avail the remedy of civil court by filing a civil suit.

EPF withdrawal form can directly be filed before EPF authorities by getting the signature verified from your banker or other public authorities.

3 months salary without having any specific contract is definitely a debatable issue as there is no such law which may bind either of the parties to oblige each other in such matters hence the civil court.

Gratuity can be obtained by filing a petition before Authority Under Payment of Gratuity Act.

In you owned interest you have to file a petition before the Jurisdiction High Court through a Expert Lawyer to defend your final dues.

Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 20 March 2020
May approach civil court for other reliefs and for EPF and Gratuity withdrawal apply concerned departments.
teju yadav (Querist) 20 March 2020
In that Case no joining letter/offer or termination condition. How many month salalry they can provide to us.?

or what can i do?
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 20 March 2020
You are arguing a lot here instead of following the advice. You have amply been advised to engage a local lawyer dealing in service matters and follow his guidelines.

You file civil suit and let the written statement of the company be filed and only then you may put further question.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 20 March 2020
On what basis you want to claimed salary for 3 months when nothing mentioned in your appointment letter / no appointment letter was ever issued?
teju yadav (Querist) 20 March 2020
Sir, they have terminated without notice. so atleast 30 days prior notice must require and after terminate, i was jobless and from past 1 month so i want compensation. that's why or sometime they verbly said if any want to resign they must inform 3 months prior atleast.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 20 March 2020
The options before you is that you have to first issue a legal notice to company stating that the action taken by them to terminate you without any notice is against the labor law and also against natural justice.
You may also mention that you are totally innocent of any incident but the company has taken this illegal decision deliberately to not only render you jobless but also with an intention to spoil your career and future.
You include that there was neither an inquiry conducted on any incident that the company may rely upon nor there was any warning given about your character or conduct hence this unjustified decision to suddenly terminate your services appear to be an intentional high handed work of some vested interest who is working against your interest in the company.
You may also state that neither your gratuity amount nor your F&F settlement or the PF amount or the 3 months notice period salary was paid to you despite having written to them so far.
After this having waited for a period as stipulated in the legal notice fr a reply, you may approach high court for setting aside of the company's order to terminate your services ass well as to reinstate you to the same post with full wages and service benefits besides stalling the further proceedings by the company in connection to your termination.
You may consult an experienced lawyer dealing with the service matters and proceed on the advise rendered by the said lawyer in this regard
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 21 March 2020
What were the grounds of termination mentioned in the termination letter.?

Sometime, language of termination letter may help to provide / supplement the conditions not mentioned in appointment letter and can be helpful for the employee.
