Abolishment and termination

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 19 June 2023 This query is : Resolved
I am working for an NGO and recently unanticipatedly, management decided to abolish 1 associate manager(ATM-CC) post of 3 equivalent posts. No notice was shared by the management and individual meeting via Zoom was done with no formal mail. One or another vague reason was shared individually.

On requesting to share a notice regarding it, it was shared we will not do that and on saying I will ask this by email marking RM and other ATM-CC, I was denied to Mark CCs. The regional manager had a meeting with me, he shared that work is automated for this post which was totally false, naturally, I objected that other posts have the most automated work than this, so 2 new reasons were built that we are making management leaner, and the fund is being used in a different project as it is growing (Actually we recently started our services of free cost life skills in rural areas earlier it was only for the cities).

There is no commitment to deploy around 30 -35 employees from different cities and states. They are doing individual meetings to send the experienced staff working from 5-6 years to rural and remote areas. No one is happy with the decision made as1 can not be competent enough to do the work as the work profile is totally different, there are some married and pregnant ladies as well. Our request for a collective meeting is also denied we requested several times and only for 1on1 meetings managers were ready.

So is it legally right to do something like this? And can they terminate an employee if one cannot go to the position imposed on the employee?

Please note- It is not that the post is redundant, the work will be distributed to other Associate managers only.

What are the terms and conditions mentioned in your appointment letter? What speaks about termination in your appointment letter? You consult an experienced advocate for complete guidance.

You have to visit the terms and conditions of the employment offer letter and if you notice breach of any condition by your employer, you can drag them to labor court or can file a writ petition before high court seeking relief and remedy.
