Notice period & ot claim

1.   The company normally mentioned everything in appointment letter, what they pay to employee, working condition and termination.

2.  Now you have been already terminated, take it in positive way, maintain cordial relations with ex company, obtain exemplary experience certificate and focus to find better job.

3.  If you choose to go for litigation and dispute with labour court etc, you may get something but you will loose too much, if you are in young age.

If you are confident that you were not intimated about the termination 30 days in advance then you can claim the notice period allowance/pay as per the conditions of the employment.

If you have voluntarily worked for seven days a week without protesting or objecting to it then it indicates that you have accepted the same hence any protest about it now especially when you have been terminated may not be maintainable.

You can protest the NOC  and can claim the dues of pending salary  or notice period salary stating that you were forced to sign the NOC on the pressure of withholding your service experience letter etc. 

You were appointed for entire project period or for some specific period / work within the project ? 

Offer / accepted appointment letter terms shall prevail in any situation. It is better to show it to some local prudent lawyer for proper analyses, opinion and advise.

You have accepted terms and conditions of the appointment, does it specify regarding working hours / overtime and /or working for 7 days on the same terms or you had demanded OT / compensatory leave ? If you did not ask for such consequence (OT /Compensation) it implies that you had worked volutarily without any extra salary /allownace(s) or leave, otherwise you should claim.

Are you sure that the company did not issue 30 days notice for termination of service, in terms of appointment letter, if so demand salary / perks in lieu of 22 days notice period.  

The employer's actions appears to be wrong and improper and liable for judicial remedy. However, the moot question is - are you willing to pursue such a remedy incurring substantial effort and expenses?
