A. Dear Sir,
If you have not signed any bond with the Company then it cannot initiate any action. Even otherwise they cannot take any action under Section 27 of Indian Contract Act. It is better to close the matter by issuing a letter intimating them about your urgency to exist from the company without notice.

A. Hi,
There are several labor laws in India against wrongful termination of employment. If the wrongful termination is done on the basis of discrimination due to age, gender, race, caste, etc., it is a violation of the fundamental rights of a person given under the Indian Constitution. You can directly file a writ before the High Court or can even refer to your dispute to the labour forum.

I am working in a company at mumbai city.I am 5months pregnant and this is known to my manager.Now I came to know that my company is on the verge to terminate some people (since most of the senior man


A. Hi,
Because the employment selection is based on merit, ma'am, the termination will also be based on merit. However, according to Indian law, unilaterally terminating your service term while your absence is unlawful. Try talking to your employer and let them know the position of your income and the circumstances you are in, I am sure the employer would accommodate you.
Thank you very much. Please give the answer a rating.

A. Hello, you may review the contract that was handed to you at the time, as well as the duration of your appointment. The authorities cannot dismiss you from your employment without providing you enough notice. If it is done in that sequence, you can take the matter to a labour court or even sue the authorities for compensation.
Thank you very much.

A. Hello
The Gratuity amount in India is governed under the Payments of Gratuity Act, 1972. Provision regarding payment of gratuity is given under section 4 of the act. According to those provision to get the gratuity amount employee must have completed 5 years of his service with the employer to become eligible for gratuity amount. So, your five years are not completed yet therefor, you'll not be getting gratuity.

icon Promotion issue

Promotion policy has been changed many times since I joined the company affecting my career. I won't have joined if I knew this.


A. Hello
There is much less options if you are working in a private company as they reserve the rights to change the rules regarding promotion. But you could still file a suit if it's any how violatiing your fundamental right. But if you are working in a government company then you could file a suit against the company's arbitrary policy changes ij the high court.
