A.Dear Client,

Employees who receive rewards such as gold coins for commendable performance are entitled to claim them even if they resign, provided there are no specific disqualifications outlined. If the company refuses to release the reward and final settlement dues upon resignation, it constitutes unfair labor practices.

For non-managerial or supervisory staff, legal recourse involves serving a legal notice to the company and then filing a complaint with the Labor Commissioner's office for redressal. Additionally, an application can be filed under Sec.33C(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act before the Labor Court for dues recovery.

However, if the employee holds a managerial or administrative position, they must file a civil suit against the company in the Civil Court for appropriate relief.

Please approach the following authority or similar authority in a state

12. Duties of conciliation officers.- (relevant section 12(2) of ID Act)

(1) Where any industrial dispute exists or is apprehended, the conciliation officer may, or where the dispute relates to a public utility service and a notice under section 22 has been given, shall hold conciliation proceedings in the prescribed manner.

(2) The conciliation officer shall, for the purpose of bringing about a settlement of the dispute, without delay, investigate the dispute and all matters affecting the merits and the right settlement thereof and may do all such things as he thinks fit for the purpose of inducing the parties to come to a fair and amicable settlement of the dispute.

(3) If a settlement of the dispute or of any of the matters in dispute is arrived at in the course of the conciliation proceedings the conciliationofficer shall send a report thereof to the appropriate Government 1 or an officer authorised in this behalf by the appropriate Government] together with a memorandum of the settlement signed by the parties to the dispute.

A.Dear Client,
When you were rewarded by the Company with a gold coin for your laudable performance and contribution to the growth of the company, you are entitled to claim your reward from the company even if you plan to quit the company. If you tendered your resignation following the terms of employment, the company is duty-bound to release your rewarded gold coin and F & F settlement dues and if the company denies your claim that will be treated as unfair labour practices in the absence of any specific conditions that disqualify you from claiming your reward on the ground of resignation. So, in case of refusal by the company, 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 after serving a legal notice to the Company, reach out to the concerned Labour Commissioner office for filing a complaint against the Company to redress your grievance over alleged arbitrary and unfair labour practice. Additionally, you can file an application under Sec.33C(2) of the I D Act before the Labour Court for recovery of your dues from the employer. However, in case you belong to the position of a Manager or Administrative officer, then you have to file a civil suit against the Company in the Civil Court for appropriate relief in the matter. Feel free to contact our legal team if you need our expert service to navigate your legal issues in the right way.
