Terminated in notice period Terminated in notice period

7 months ago

I completed two months in the organization. Due to not being interested in my profile and management issues, I resigned from the company and served a 90-day notice period as per company policy, but after 1 month, the company terminated me for a poor reason: not cooperating with work. So please guide me on what I can do, and I want a reliving letter.

A.Dear Client,
When an employee tenders his resignation following the terms of the contract of employment and serving the notice period, an employer cannot terminate your service on either pretext and without complying with the mandatory provision of Sec.13(1) of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 which will be treated as illegal termination from employment. Section 2A (1)of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 says 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. Sec.2A(2) of the Act says that notwithstanding anything contained in section 10, any such workman as is specified in sub-section (1) may after the expiry of 45 days from the date he has made the application to the Conciliation Officer/Labour Commissioner of the appropriate Government for conciliation of the dispute, and in receipt of such application the Labour Court or Tribunal shall have powers and jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the dispute as if it were a dispute referred to it by the appropriate Government in accordance with the provisions of this Act and all the provisions of this Act shall apply in relation to such adjudication as they apply in relation to an industrial dispute referred to it by the appropriate Government. Sec.2A(3) of the Act says that the application referred to in sub-section (2) shall be made to the Labour Court or Tribunal concerned before the expiry of 03(three) years from the date of discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or otherwise termination of service as specified in sub-section (1). So, In view of the above provisions of law applicable on the subject, you can make the application to the Conciliation Officer/Labour Commissioner of the appropriate Government for conciliation of the dispute, and on expiry of 45 days, you can make an application directly to the concerned Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal for adjudication of industrial dispute and following the provision of sub-sec. (3) of Sec.2A of the Act, Reach out to an Advocate who handles Labour Court/Industrial Tribunal matters for proper guidance and steps. In case you need any legal assistance from us in this regard, you may contact our legal team along with all relevant papers.
