If there was no appointment letter/LOI/SO, and the employee was terminated without any fault, my query is: in that scenario, what would be the notice period to be given to the above-mentioned employee?
If there is no Standing Order certified, then the Model Standing Order is applicable. The organization must follow what is stated in the Model SO.
The Industrial Disputes Act provides for one month's notice in case of retrenchment. Some of the Shops and Establishments Acts in some states have prescribed one month's notice in case of termination. It is safe to give one month's notice.
