help for retrenchment as new employees help for retrenchment as new employees

7 months ago

Dear Sir,

I kindly request you to suggest to me what i can do in the case of retrenchment as a new employee.
I have recently joined the company 30 days ago and got a retrenchment msg from the Company.
As much as I have read in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 that retrenchment law only applicable for the employee who worked more than 1 year in the company means I cannot do anything about this?
please help to know my rights.

A.Dear Client,
As per the provisions of section 2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 a 'workman' means any person employed in any industry to do any manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical or supervisory work for hire or reward including any such person who has been dismissed, discharged or retrenched. Sec.2A(1) of the said Act states that where any employer discharges, dismisses, retrenches, or otherwise terminates the services of an individual workman, any dispute or difference between that workman and his employer connected with, or arising out of, such discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or termination shall be deemed to be an industrial dispute notwithstanding that no other workman nor any union of workmen is a party to the dispute and accordingly in view of the said provision of relevant law you can raise an industrial dispute over alleged illegal termination against the employer directly u/s.2A(2) of the Act either before the Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal or before the State Govt. Industrial Tribunal based on the class or sector of organization you belong to and as per sub-sec,3 of Sec.2A industrial dispute shall be made to the Labour Court or Tribunal before the expiry of three years from the date of discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or otherwise termination of service as specified in sub-section (1) of Sec.2A of the Act. Your termination from service does not come under the purview of Sec.25F or 25N of the I D Act that laid down the compliance of the conditions precedent to retrenchment or termination of an employee or workman who renders more than one year of service in an organization. So, get in touch with an Advocate for the service of a legal notice to the employer and for filing an application u/s.2A of the I D Act before the concerned Industrial Tribunal or Labour Court. In case you need any legal assistance in the matter, you may contact our legal team along with the relevant papers.
