Hi all , I have a friend who was recruited and immediately terminated because the company wanted to cut down on company costs . Some fact about him 1) He worked there only for 25 days 2) He was offered stock options 3) He was paid one month notice pay . 4) In the previous organization he spent a long time ( more than 6 years ) My qn is 1) Can he demand for more severance ( 3months gross ) 2) Can he demand for the stock options . 3) He had a performance linked bonus every quarter . What happens to that ? 4) Is it legal to hire and Fire in India for no fault of his . he was clearly communicated that he was terminated only due to his cost and not because of his non-performance . Appreciate your response thanks, Madhu
