Termination of Services - Redundant - Covid 19 - what is the corrective action to be taken since as per Government norms?

Hi everyone. I was an employee of a Bangalore-based organization, working in Delhi as a permanent employee. Last week, my employer shared a termination letter with me via email, stating that the position is no longer required, i.e., it has become redundant. The termination letter mentioned that they will provide me with one month of salary in lieu, which I have not received to date. Please suggest what corrective action should be taken since, as per government norms, employers are advised not to terminate their employees.

Please lodge a complaint with the Labor Commissioner of your region.

Thank you.

Please don't waste time. Kindly submit your application for unfair practices by your employer during this COVID-19 period.

Thank you.

Dear Member,

You have not furnished details about your employment, jobs, responsibilities, terms and conditions of appointment, salary drawn, etc., which are vital to determine whether the employer has followed due procedure while terminating your service. Are you eligible for any relief, etc.?

Please apply your mind and furnish all relevant details for Honourable Members to suggest further course of action.

Can an employer ask the employee to go on long unpaid leave with permission to work elsewhere during that period?

An employer may request an employee to take a long unpaid leave and allow them to work elsewhere during that time. However, the specifics of such an arrangement would need to be clearly outlined and agreed upon by both parties. It's essential to consider any legal implications, such as employment contracts, labor laws, and company policies, before implementing such a request. Open communication and mutual understanding between the employer and employee are key to navigating such situations effectively.
