Dismissal Of Employee Under Probation Period

Dear All,

There is this case. In one of the industry one employee was dismissed without giving any reason and without conducting any inquiry when he was under the probation period. The employee approached to Labour department seeking two month's salary in lieu of two months notice period which is mentioned in the appointment letter. Labour department has issued letter to the industry. My queries are :-

(i) Whether the employee will get two months salary or not
(ii) What is the procedure of dismissal under the probation period
(iii) What is the maximum probation period according to the labour laws. In this industry it is two years.

Regards,

Dear Vijay,

You have to have Standing Order of your Company for the Probation Period.

Now few things comes into the mind..even if we follow the Model Standing Rules. Needs Clarification on the following for answering your query..

Whether the employee is covered under the ID Act.?

For How long he has been in the service of the Company.?

What was the reason for dismissing.?

What does the Clause about the Probation says in your Appointment Letter issued to the Employee.?

Dear Friend,

Relating to your querry the following points to be taken for consideration.

1. How many people are working in your organisation.
2. Your organisation is a manufacturing or service industry.
3. Your organisation is having either Model or Certified Standing Orders.
4. if your organisation is already having Standing orders or service rules, under what clause the period of probation is mentioned.
5. Under what reason the employee has dismissed from the service in the probation period.

If your organisation does not having the above provisions mentioned in the standing orders either Model or Certified, the employer has liable to pay 2 months wages or 2 months notice in lieu of wages to dismiss from service whatsoever for any reason as mentioned in the Appointment Order. The employer has already abided the terms and conditions of employment as prescribed in the appiontment letter under what terms and conditions he has to engage the employee.

This is for your information.

Hello Vijay,

If you have mentioned two months notice or two months pay in lieu [in the appt letter] then you have to give him either of the two. its as plain as that.
If you have thrown him out without giving notice then you have to give him two months pay, there's no doubt about that.

Regarding probation period, there is no rule regarding probation period's length.

Dear All,

Thanks to Rajiv, Ram and Kriyaz. Thanks for your valuable suggestions. This industry is presently under constructiona and the chap was working as Trainee Production Operator joined on 01/02/08 and verbally told not to come for duties w.e.f. 01/5/08 for making some remarks while leaving in company bus. It was the case of back biting done by some of the people who were against him. So far industry do not have any policies, standing orders and HR policies.

Also I have one more query when registration under under Factories Act and EPF act is done during construction phase or on completion of construction when production about to take place. Production is still around 6 months away from now. Company has around 140 people working on its roll.

Pls give your valuable suggestions.

Regards,

Mr. Vijay,
Regarding the PF registration you can take the help of EPF site which is given below:


EPFO


Under the Factories Act,

First of all get your Factories Building Plan Approved from the Labour Department. Than obtain Factory Licence from the concerned department.

For this you can refer to your state Rules and Act of Factories Act.

dear
you can terminate his services without giving any salary in liu of notice.basically he is workmen as per I D act and as he has not completed 240 days you can terminate his services .
now question comes licence under factories act.yours is not a factory because there is no production going on at this premises.you complete construction buy maschines and take liscence before starting production,which can be obtained from factory act dept after preparing approved plans.
you should register for provident fund.
