A. Dear Client,

If an employer withholds full and final settlement dues, as well as relieving and experience letters upon the cessation of employment, it constitutes unfair labor practice. In the given scenario, if you qualify as a workman under Sec.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947, you can serve a legal notice to the company and approach the office of the Labor Commissioner to file a complaint against the company for alleged unfair labor practices.

A. Dear Client,

If your official position in the government establishment doesn't allow you to issue an experience certificate to a daily wage earner or contractor worker, you can annul or cancel the previously issued experience letter. Issue a revocation letter to the concerned individual, requesting the return of the original certificate. It's advisable to meet the person, collect the original certificate, and obtain a receipt for your revocation letter to close the matter amicably. In adherenc ...ReadMore

A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is a tool aimed at providing an employee with performance deficiencies an opportunity to improve. However, termination for unsatisfactory performance might be considered retrenchment. In such cases, employees should be given 1 to 3 months' prior notice or payment in lieu of notice, as mandated by Sec.25N(1)(a) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947, provided the employee is a workman under Sec.2(s) of the Act. If terminated illegally, the employee ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

It appears that the company has engaged in unfair labor practices with the intention of harming an employee's career. When an employee resigns following the terms of the appointment letter and serves the notice period, any arbitrary revocation of the approved remission in the notice period by the employer can be challenged under Section 27 of the Contract Act, 1872. This section prohibits agreements that restrain trade and profession. According to Section 27, any terms forcing the ...ReadMore

In the case of contradictory joining and exit dates in both Company A and Company B, PF records may indicate dual employment until the anomalies are rectified by the respective employers. To address such issues, a joint declaration form is utilized for correcting Provident Fund (PF) member details. This form, signed by both the employee and employer, ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

The failure to pay consultation fees to a full-time consultant by a company can be considered an unfair trade practice. When a company engages a consultant for a specific job without offering salary, benefits, or perks typically provided to employees, it establishes a consultant-client relationship. The absence of a clear agreement or contract detailing the terms of consultancy can complicate matters. In this situation, it is advisable to engage a lawyer to send a legal notice to ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Your situation appears to involve victimization and unfair labor practices by the company. Upon tendering your resignation in accordance with the terms of the offer or appointment letter, the employer is generally not permitted to withhold relieving letters, experience certificates, or Full and Final (F & F) settlement dues without valid reasons, especially when there is a buy policy for the notice period.

To address this, it is recommended to serve a legal notice expressing your ...ReadMore
