icon what should be the correct Notice period

Hi, I joined a software company on January 17, 2022 and appointment letter that I signed has notice period 90 days. But after that on on Aug-2023 Company circulated their handbook and asked to signed


A. Dear Client,

The notice period for resigning from employment typically ranges from 15 to 90 days and varies among different organizations. If the company issues a handbook announcing a change in the notice period from 90 to 15 days, this change applies uniformly to all employees, including yourself. The company cannot compel an employee who has resigned to serve beyond the newly specified 15-day notice period, as doing so would violate its own regulations.

Dear Expert lawyers , Even though i completed my KT and done with notice period ,the company is not paying my f&f .Kindly advice .


A. Dear Client,

If you're classified as a workman under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act and not in a managerial or supervisory role, you can serve a legal notice to your company and then file an application under Section 33C(2) of the ID Act before the Labour Court to claim dues upon resignation. However, if you hold a managerial or administrative position, you would need to file a civil suit before the Civil Court to seek appropriate relief in the matter.

A. Dear Client,

In cases of termination without notice, it constitutes illegal termination and falls under the purview of industrial disputes as defined by Section 2A of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. This also violates the mandatory provisions outlined in Sections 25F and 25N of the Act, which specify conditions that employers must adhere to before terminating or retrenching an employee.

If you're considering taking up another job while already employed, it's important to resign from your current position before joining the new company, especially if there are clauses in your employment contract prohibiting full-time work elsewhere.

A. Dear Client,

If a company employs 20 or more individuals, it falls under the EPF & MP Act, 1952, providing benefits to its employees. Employees earning up to ₹15,000 must have an EPF account, while those earning more require approval. Failure to register under EPF can lead to legal consequences. The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 mandates gratuity payment for employees with five years of continuous service. Form 'I' must be submitted to the employer within 30 days of gratuity becoming due.
