Can you please suggest me..

In future act responsibly and transact in writing and under proper acknowledgment.

Get into the habit of consulting elders of the family, competent and experienced well wishers, seasoned employees’/trade union leaders, a  very able local senior counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in Labor/Service matters and having successful track record… and act wisely.

ID Act does not lay down notice period for employee.

State Shops & Estbs Act ; notice period inserted by employer is not favorable to employee…

State has notified for the Grievance Redresaal Committee….You could have taken the help. You had a the reason also.

Standing Orders; In said state establishment s of your trade are exempted…..

Perspectives:

In current and future employments the current/next employer are at liberty to absorb you despite the said termination in last employment. Your rapport, goodwill with bosses/employer can help you and protect from any action in any circumstances.

If you have concealed the said 8days job (2days job as per your post) then IT I suggestible and suggested that any employee should not conceal and rather explain during interview and employment applications and keep copies.

The issuance of appointment letter, submission of resignation, termination is a matter on record.

As already posted current and next employer can still absorb the employee, even if during BGV the matter comes up.

Your skill, rapport, goodwill, value to establishment can help you.

 

Since you did not revert to few notices supplied to you the establishment’s HR/Legal cell has followed IT’s SoP and has handed over the matter to IT’s lawyer to issue legal notice as per appointment letter/notices sent to you/FnF statement etc ….

You have the option to explain the matter to HR head/Line Mangers/competent employee to take decision in your matter/ employer and request to call back the said legal notice and termination and accept resignation….and waive off the notice period. By refunding the month’s salary you have shown the good conduct/character. IT may help you to explain the matter and resolve in your favor.

 

Since you have posted in the beginning that you are a poor guy the establishment may indeed waive off the notice period/pay and close the matter.

Or handover the mater to employee’s/trade unions that are available in states where you were located and are located now………….and they may represent you and help to close the matter..

Or approach the senior officials of Dept. of Labor and close with their help………

Or handover to a very able local senior counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in Labor/Service matters and having successful track record, and your counsel may successfully close the matter outside the court or in court if IT lands up in court…..

Or pay the money being demanded and later approach the court for relief ………….and under expert advises of your counsel……

Kumar Doab (FIN)     16 February 2018

IT shall be better to consult with your LOCAL counsels and act after understanding all options……. In future be properly informed and act wisely as suggested..
