Termination Of An Employee - Terminating An Employee [Thread 482279]

Dear sir/ madam,
Greetings for the day !!!!!
I have a query about the salary of the terminated employee.
When an employee is terminated without any notice or prior intimation, is it mandatory to release his salary on immediate basis i.e, on the day of the termination itself?? or can we give the salary after a specific period say after 30 days or 45 days as per company procedure ?
Which is the proper way?
kindly guide.

If the employee is terminated the Full and Final settlement has to be done immediately. The Salary cannot be prolonged to 30-45 days.

Payment of wages act specifies that the payment of wages for any employee who is terminated or has resigned has to be paid within 2 days from the last working day. Payment other than wages needs to be given within 30 days (eg gratuity, bonus)
So you can not hold on to his wages.
Your company policy is wrong.

If the termination is on disciplinary grounds,my answer would be yes.
