salary in lieu of termination due to poor performance

Dear Sir,
I just wanted to know if we have terminated to the employee on immediate basis due to his/her poor performance . can employer is liable to pay 1 month extra salary to the employee ??

You are required to pay for the notice period (say one month as it transpires in this case) where there is a condition of service for payment of notice period and the termination of service is with immediate effect. The payment is necessitated irrespective of the reason for termination of service.

What is written in the employment agreement or offer letter?
Follow what is written.
Normally when you terminate w/o notice one month wage is given

Yes, employee is entitled for the notice payment as mentioned in the appointment contract.

If there is such a clause in the contract of service or letter of appointment, then you have to pay.Check it and follow the procedure laid down in the contract/letter of appointment.
