One person known to me worked as a secretary. There were two management fighting for nearly 8-9 years. Now one group that actually appointed the person is likely to lose power. As the person was appointed by one group that was in power, worked sincerely with them, the other group likely to come to power might target him. This is not apprehension but most likely happening. Can the new group (1) remove him on some pretext though worked for more than 10 years? (2) stop paying his gratuity, leave encashment etc., since he worked with full loyalty (being Secretary he has to work with confidentiality and integrity to boss in power) to the previous group? (3) can the present management delay payment of gratuity and other benefits showing financial crisis as reason (there are already 50-60 people to get). 4) what are the remedies in the above case? Kindly suggest. Thank you.
