A.Dear Client,
According to Sec.25FFA(1) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 - An employer who intends to close down an undertaking shall serve, at least sixty days before the date on which the intended closure is to become effective, a notice, in the prescribed manner, on the appropriate Government stating clearly the reasons for the intended closure of the undertaking. Further, as per Sec.25FFF of the said Act, Sub-Sec.(1) Where an undertaking is closed down for any reason whatsoever, every workman who has been in continuous service for not less than one year in that undertaking immediately before such closure shall, subject to the provisions of sub-section (2), be entitled to notice and compensation in accordance with the provisions of section 25F as if the workman had been retrenched. As per Sec.25F of the Act, which prescribes conditions precedent to retrenchment of workmen.—No workman employed in any industry who has been in continuous service for not less than one year under an employer shall be retrenched by that employer until—(a) the workman has been given one month’s notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment and the period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of such notice, wages for the period of the notice; (b) the workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to fifteen days' average pay i.e, for every completed year of continuous service or any part thereof in excess of six months; and (c) notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government. In view of the above provision of law, you are equally entitled to the same compensation as your co-workers have received from the employer towards retrenchment compensation. Such a discriminatory action in violation of a mandatory provision of relevant law will amount to unfair labour practice on the part of the employer. So, you need to file a complaint against your employer for discrimination and unfair trade practices before the concerned Labour Commissioner of State Govt. for redressal of your grievance. You can also file an application u/s.33C(2) of the I D Act before the Labour Court claiming dues lying unpaid towards retrenchment compensation from the employer.

A.Dear Client,
If your company has given you only 3 months of settlement compensation instead of the 7 months you believe you are entitled to, you should take the following steps to address the issue:

Review Your Employment Contract: Carefully review your employment contract, appointment letter, or any relevant documents you have with the company. These documents may outline the terms and conditions of your employment, including provisions related to severance or settlement payments.

Consult HR or Management: Contact your company's human resources department or management to seek clarification on the settlement amount. Explain your concerns and provide any evidence or documentation that supports your claim for a 7-month settlement.

Document All Communications: Keep a record of all communications with HR, management, or any other relevant parties regarding the settlement discrepancy. This includes emails, letters, or notes from meetings or discussions.

Request a Detailed Explanation: Ask your employer or HR for a detailed breakdown of how they calculated the settlement amount. Ensure they provide a clear explanation of why you received only 3 months instead of 7.

Seek Legal Advice: If your attempts to resolve the issue with your employer are unsuccessful, consider consulting with an employment attorney. They can review your case, assess your rights and legal options, and advise you on how to proceed.

Attempt Mediation or Negotiation: Sometimes, disputes can be resolved through mediation or negotiation. An attorney or mediator can facilitate discussions between you and your employer to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.

File a Legal Complaint: If all else fails and you believe you have a legitimate claim, you may consider filing a formal complaint or lawsuit to recover the unpaid settlement amount. Your attorney can guide you through this process.

It's essential to act promptly and gather all necessary documentation to support your case.
Thank you.
