Dear Mr. Madhu/ Fellow members,
I'm a new member of this community and I have joined this network to know more about cases of "Illegal or wrongful termination of employment".
I was working as the Marketing in charge at a corporate hospital belonging to a big corporate house. My business initiatives have led to a turnaround of the fortunes of the organisation I work in. But due to serious differences of opinion with the people at the helm of affairs, I was sacked last month without citing any reasons. My sacking doesn't make any business sense as I have been recognized and appreciated for my business generation for my organisation. I need to take up legal recourse to get justice to myself and to teach the top management a lesson who think they can get away with such blatant violation of employee rights. Following are my questions:
1) I was served with a notice on 27th August. I accepted and acknowledged the same a week later. So does my notice period start from the day of issuance or acceptance?
2) Is notice period being served/ or being compensated for counted in the duration of service?
3) My notice period ends just 3 days shy of my completion of 5 days of service. It is a ploy by the top management to rob me of my gratuity entitlement. Will i still be entitled to gratuity?
4) I'm completely clueless about the legal recourse I can take to fight my case of Illegal Termination. How strong is my case if I have simply been told "Your services are no longer required w.e.f so and so...."
Apologies for a long query, but I'm eagerly waiting in anticipation for a response from the moderator and members having similar experiences.
Regards,
Vijay
