Forced Resignation Without Notice: Can Managerial Employees Seek Labor Court Help?

My previous employer demanded my resignation without any prior notice or showing any fault of mine. I did not have any option, so I resigned and after one month, joined another job. They have not paid my last month's salary and provided no compensation for separating me from the company. Does the labor court support managerial cadre employees in this case?

As you are in the managerial cadre, support from the labor court will not be available. Just forget and move on. Do not waste time on legal battles. Learn from this experience and keep your eyes and ears open to catch winds of change and problems.

The private sector sometimes operates with sudden removals, etc. Laws exist to protect, but they are not effective enough, and that is the tragedy of India.

Of course, demand your entitled salary by sending them reminders in writing. Non-payment of salary for the period you have worked is irregular.

Understanding Labor Court Coverage and Compensation Claims

If you are a workman, then only you are covered under the Labor Court/Industrial tribunals. If you can prove that the company forced you to resign, then you can challenge such illegal termination. Otherwise, it will be considered as if you resigned of your own wish. In that case, you will not be entitled to any kind of compensation.

Apart from that, you can always demand your outstanding salary for the months you have worked. First, send a notice/legal notice through a lawyer. This can be dealt with depending on the action on the part of the employers.

In any case, if you have worked, the company must pay you what you are eligible for. I suggest you write an email to the higher authorities of your previous company and request payment. Mention that if they do not comply, you will have no option but to file a complaint in the labor court to seek compensation. Do not hesitate to take action; it is your right to ask for what you are owed.

Don't worry; upon receiving this email, they are likely to credit your salary promptly. No company wants to be involved in a legal dispute as it can significantly harm their reputation.
