A.Dear Client,
Employment termination decisions can vary based on the specific policies and regulations of the company and the nature of the transactions involved. While I can provide some general information, it's important to note that the outcome may depend on the company's internal policies, applicable labor laws, and the specific circumstances surrounding the transactions. Here are some considerations:
Company Policies: Companies typically have policies in place regarding financial transactions, conflicts of interest, and the use of personal accounts for business-related activities. Review your company's policies to understand whether such transactions are explicitly prohibited.
Consult Employee Handbook: Refer to the company's employee handbook or code of conduct for guidance on acceptable behavior and financial transactions. Violating these policies may lead to disciplinary action, including termination.
Mutual Understanding: The fact that the transactions were conducted with mutual understanding among co-workers and vendors may be relevant, but it does not necessarily absolve an employee from violating company policies.
Company Investigation: Employers have the right to investigate any financial transactions or activities that may be perceived as misconduct. They may also consider whether these transactions pose a conflict of interest or create a risk for the company.
Discussion with Company: If you believe that the transactions were conducted with the knowledge and consent of co-workers and vendors, you can request a meeting or discussion with your company's HR department or management to explain the circumstances. Provide any relevant evidence, such as statements from co-workers and vendors, to support your case.
Legal Consultation: If your employment is at risk, it may be advisable to consult with an employment attorney who can provide guidance based on your specific situation and the relevant labor laws in your jurisdiction.
Whistleblower Protection: Depending on the nature of the transactions and any potential ethical concerns, you may want to consider whether you are acting as a whistleblower to expose wrongdoing within the company. Whistleblower protection laws may vary by jurisdiction.
It's important to note that employment laws and regulations can vary significantly by country and state, so the specific legal protections and consequences may differ based on your location.
Thank you.

A.Dear Client,
In the absence of any proof of dishonesty behind your conduct or incident that incurs no financial loss or damages to the Company, the Company cannot terminate your service without serving a notice or show cause which will amount to victimization of an employee with an ulterior motive and unfair labour practice. So, in the prevailing situation, if you are not holding the position of Manager/Supervisor but a workman as defined u/s.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act then after serving a legal notice to the Company, reach out to the office of the Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint against the Company over alleged victimization and unfair labour practices for redressal of your grievance. Otherwise, you have to file a civil suit against the company before the Civil Court for appropriate relief.
