I work for a private IT firm
1 month ago
I work for a private IT firm. In case it is mentioned in my contract that the organisation can ask me to work in any shift, but my manager is unreasonably asking me to work in odd shift in which there is no client requirement, but just because it is a UK project he is asking me to work in UK shift and the client has confirmed it to me over the email that it is not required to work in the odd hours stipulated by my manager.
There was a show cause notice issued to me for the in subordination on the same and in disciplinary inquiry, the Enquiry Officer was biased as she is from the management only. They are planning to terminate my employment.
In case I need to bring this issue to the Labour commissioner or Labour tribunal, can I do so in my hometown/other state where there is no jurisdiction of the company since I'm working from home though my company has started hybrid mode. or should it based on the location of the company as it is located in many states(my company location is Noida and hometown is Chandigarh)?
As regards the territorial jurisdiction of the Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not make any reference to the aspect of territorial jurisdiction, however, the situs of the place of employment of a workman would be a determinative factor in conferring territorial jurisdiction upon a labour court for deciding a labour dispute. So, even in a hybrid mode of operation of the Company's work, disputes need to be raised where the Company's registered office or its branch office is located. On dismissal based on findings of the domestic inquiry, you have to approach the State Govt. Industrial Tribunal following the provision of Section 2A of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 claiming reinstatement in service with back wages.
