Facing Unexpected Job Loss: Can I Demand Better Compensation or Take Legal Action?

Dear Sir/Madam, I joined the organization 1.5 months ago. It's a mobile manufacturing unit, and now they are telling me to leave as they failed in implementing their plan. They are asking me to resign so that they can process my full and final settlement. They are just offering me one month's salary, although I requested two months. I don’t know when I will find another job. They have retained people who have been working with them for a longer period.

I feel they should compensate me until I secure a new job. What should I do in such a scenario? Can I take legal action? Please provide a phone number if any legal advice is available. I will call.

Kindly advise and support!

Regards,
Shipra

Dear Friend,

Please go through the offer of appointment and your acceptance, their letter of service rules, Organization acceptance as an employee with their service regulations and take your steps accordingly....

Best of luck .......

Company will give you notice as per the offer letter, and nothing more.

One cannot ask for compensation until they get a new job.

You need to refer to your appointment letter to get a full idea of your terms and conditions.

Further, I will add: The law requires that in case of retrenchment, they are required to terminate new employees first and oldest employees last. Another aspect is doing the right thing. There is no lifetime job guarantee. If you are under probation, you may actually not even be entitled to notice pay. If they choose to retrench you, you are eligible to receive only 1 month's pay since you have worked for less than a year.

Yes! First of all, you need to refer to your appointment letter terms and conditions of your employment, especially the notice period clause.

Dear Friend,
Its hardly a matter of 1.5 months. And you are talking about legal action. Don't go for this.
Please take the F&F whatever they are giving and search new job from now onwards.

Dear Friend,

Please review the terms and conditions outlined in your appointment letter. If you are currently in a probationary period, the employer reserves the right to terminate your services without prior notice. Additionally, if you have not completed 240 days of continuous service, you are not entitled to any notice or pay in lieu of notice.

I concur with the advice provided by Mr. Abhay. Therefore, it may be advisable to settle for a full and final settlement and part ways with the company.

Thank you and best regards,
