Hi all,
My wife started working with this company 2.5 months back as android developer. She was assigned to work on an app which was half baked by the previous senior developer(TL) and he left the company without completing the app. So she started developing it and she was the only person who was developing it with no senior developer to help her and it was beyond her skillset to complete that app in the defined time frame alone as it was complex for a developer with 1 year experience. So the management starting pushing her and she was giving her 100% to complete that app but still deadline got extended by 3 weeks, and she had applied for leave for 5 days in the 4th week for which she had given intimation a week before. She got a message from her CEO in the company's watsapp group that she is relieved from the job as she didn't completed the app even after extending timelines on just a day before her leave.
Thereafter there was no communication from the company in regards to the final formalities like FNF, paperwork etc. and when we initiated it after the payday got passed and we didn't got any FNF, we didn't got response from the CEO, he tried to ignore her. Then we wrote a mail to him asking the about the FNF which includes 1.5 month salary to which he responded that he suffered a loss of "X" amount due to inability to complete the app, and company will pay FNF and will do the paperwork after she compensate for the losses incurred.
Kindly suggest what should be done in this case as it was never told to her that she had to compensate if she didn't completed the app and this is completely wrong on the company's part for asking the employee to compensate the loss and holding her salary for which she had worked hard.
