A.Dear Client,
There is no provision for 6 months notice period under the governing laws that govern the relationship between an employee and employer. It might be a probationary period which may be extended by an employer if required based on your performance and ability to grasp the jobs assigned. A Probationer is not treated as an employee in the permanent role of the Company, so standing rules or regulations do not apply to the probationer to regulate or resolve the dispute between a probationer and an employer. The only law in India that deals with probation is the Industrial Employment Standing Order Act, 1946, which applies to any organization or company with at least 100 active permanent employees at any point of time. Any agreement or terms/condition of employment of a probationer cannot override the Standing orders laid down in the said Act. An employer cannot terminate an employee and even probationer from a job or service without serving a 30 day's notice in compliance with Clause 13(1) of model Standing Orders applicable in an establishment in the absence of certified Standing Orders under Industrial Employment(Standing Orders) Act, 1946 which amounts to illegal termination from service. So in the prevailing situation, it may be suggested that 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 for such an arbitrary action and illegal termination from employment, reach out to the office of the Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint against the employer for redressal of your grievance failing which you may file an application u/s.33C(2) of the I D Act before the concerned Labour Court claiming dues from your employer. Otherwise, you have to file a civil suit before the Civil Court for appropriate relief in the matter serving a legal notice to the employer.
