How To Retrench 10-12 Employees Out Of 98 In An IT Firm

You may go ahead with your local lawyer but please ask him to refer section 25 F of the ID Act which makes it clear that one month notice (not 45 days notice) is required to be served and notice should also be served to the Labour Officer. As stated by me in my previous post, there is no permission required since the number of workers is not more than 100 but an intimation is required to be given to the government showing the reasons for retrenchment, the number of workers to be retrenched etc.

Only WORKERS can seek relief under the ID Act as ID Act is applicable to them only. Supervisors and above cannot seek relief under ID Act.

Reffering a good resource for anything and everything about Retrenchment- http://asklabourproblem.info/?s=retrenchment

Thanks Madhu for sharing so much of knowledge. I will talk about this to my local lawyer and get the intimation process done. Can you share your contact email or number for future touch base.

Just to reconfirm if section 25 F of the ID Act or ID Act is applicable for IT / ITeS companies in Karnataka. What is the procedure to be followed by software developers and administrative /business support people? Many thanks

IT and IT enabled services are covered by Industrial Disputes Act. Therefore, the same procedures as are required for lay off, retrenchment, closure etc are to be followed by IT companies also.
