Forced me to resign Forced me to resign

1 month ago

Hi, I was working with a company and they asked me to resign due to my leaves in probation period, the scenario is like I had health issues in the beginning and me and my team lead and manager had a word about the same and I got it sorted from my end, after that I was issued a warning letter stating I take leaves even when they are not approved when that was not the case at all, I was sick and I also had submitted the medical certificate they needed as per our conversation, the very next day I was sent the warning letter which was very disappointing for me. Later I had power cut issues due to which I wasn’t able to continue for the entire day so I had to take a half day as my laptop switched off and today they called me in a meet and asked me to submit resignation and also they falsely claimed saying that they had tried contacting me but I did not receive a single call for the same. They told me I do not have to serve notice period and also that I will have to submit my resignation in an hour else they’ll terminate my employment and it will affect my profile so I panicked and had no other option but to submit resignation. I have been amongst the top performers and I did hear this from a few colleagues that they were planning in removing me since quite long. My probation was going to end in a week but they made me resign and now I have emi’s coming and no way to get them paid bcz I don’t have a job now. Please tell me how and what shall I write in the email to ask for compensation till I find another job? I have screenshots and everything of the conversations where I have been falsely accused of a situation but I do not have the recording of the meet because I was completely clueless that this will eb happening. Today was made my last working day, please help!!

A.Dear Client,
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. In the absence of a specific stipulation in the contract of employment entitling you to avail of sick leave for specified days, you are not eligible for sick leave while on probation. During the probationary period, there will be no entitlement of any kind of leave, be it Casual Leave, Sick / Medical Leave, Academic Leave, etc. or any other kind of leave for a probationer unless it is permitted under the leave policy of the Company. Therefore, any kind of leave if availed without prior permission of the company will be treated as without pay (LWP) and considered unauthorized leave that makes a probation to face consequences as happened with you. Litigation on the subject matter may end up with no fruitful result and may eventually affect your career prospects too because a resignation from service is better than a stigma of termination/dismissal. A probationer is not a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act and the service of a probationer can be terminated during the period of probation in terms of the appointment and such termination does not amount to retrenchment within the meaning of Section 2 (oo) of the Industrial Dispute Act.

A.Dear client, you cannot ask for compensation from them till you find another job. But you can file a complaint in the labour court if you falls under the definition of workmen. If you are not a workmen then you can initiate complaint according to the agreement between the company and you. You can also file a case under ipc for mental harassment.
