Sir I was terminated by an organization without any notice/information and the termination letter stated that I was discontinued from back date (2 days before). I mean they informed me on 16th while I was working in the market and the discontinuation letter stated the date as 14th. Can any organization terminate an employee retrospectively and in such an unprofessional manner. I was also not paid previous month's salary and expenses on the payout date. I am also doubtful whether they will process my full and final or not. What course of action do I have in case this happens. I have the appointment letter as well as discontinuation letter with me. My company mail id is still active and I am following up with the HR for settling my pending dues as they had told to clear the same in 2-3 days but no reply from their side. Kindly suggest whether should I send notice or is there any legal course of action to get my full and final settlement done. Pls help.

Ans: I’d suggest you move on in life as I don’t see an intent for them to pay and you do not have sufficient documentation in place. This is a lesson for life. In future, ensure necessary documentation is in place. Focus on finding a new job (if you still don’t have one). That would be better for the long term for you and family.

Ans: I’m sorry to hear about your situation. When facing termination due to not serving the full notice period, it’s important to understand your rights and the potential legal implications. Here’s what you can consider doing:

Review Your Employment Contract: Check the terms regarding the notice period and termination. There might be provisions for situations like medical emergencies.
Legal Consultation: It may be beneficial to consult with a labor law attorney who can provide advice based on the specifics of your case and the applicable laws.
Documentation: Gather all relevant documentation, including the medical prescriptions you submitted, any communication from HR, and the termination letter.
Negotiation: You could attempt to negotiate with your employer, explaining the situation with your parents and seeking a compassionate resolution.
Labor Office: If negotiation fails, you may approach the local labor office or labor court for guidance and to explore options for redressal.
Understand Legal Precedents: Familiarize yourself with any legal precedents that may apply to your case. For instance, the Supreme Court has provided judgments on employment notice periods that might offer insights into your rights and obligations.
Remember, each situation is unique, and the best course of action depends on the specifics of your employment contract and the company’s policies. It’s crucial to handle the matter professionally and legally to ensure the best possible outcome. Good luck!
