A.Dear Client,
A forceful resignation amounts to a retrenchment from service if you can prove the allegation with substantial evidence. Once you succeed in proving your resignation as retrenchment, the adjudication authority/Labour Court may pass an order for reinstatement in service even with back wages. Section 25F of the ID Act mandates that the employer shall fulfill certain conditions before retrenching any employee. It states that 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 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. The condition given under section 25F(c) requires the employer to give notice to the appropriate government in addition to the other two conditions. Hence, a simple termination as per the contract of employment can prove disastrous in the event the termination is challenged by the employee before the Industrial Tribunal or Labour Court. So, in the prevailing situation, you need to serve a legal notice protesting the arbitrary and unethical action of the employer citing the above proposition of relevant law and 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 and illegal termination in violation of mandatory provisions of I D Act, reach out to the office of the State Labour Commissioner concerned for filing a complaint against the employer for redressal of your grievance. In case you are holding the position of Manager/Administrative Officer in the Company, you have to file a civil suit before the Civil Court for appropriate relief.
