Terminated Without Notice: Can You Still Claim Your Full and Final Settlement?

Abhi Chauhan
Hello, Two months ago, a permanent employee was terminated by the employer. After some time, the employee demanded a full and final settlement, but HR stated that they were ineligible for it due to not completing the notice period. The employee was prepared to serve the notice period but was immediately terminated by the employer.

In this situation, the employee may be unsure of what steps to take next. Should they still demand a full and final settlement? It's important to consider the circumstances of the termination and any relevant company policies. Seeking clarification from HR or discussing the matter with a supervisor could help clarify the next course of action.

Please feel free to ask if you need further assistance with this matter.

To me, the post seems to be incomplete with a one-sided perspective.

Sudden Termination and F&F Settlement

The post begins with the sudden termination of the employee by the employer without any reason. If so, why did the employee wait for two months, only to ask for his full and final (F&F) settlement and fail to agitate against his alleged termination?

Reason for Non-Settlement of F&F Dues

Then the reason for the non-settlement of F&F dues comes through the mouth of the HR. From this, it is discernible that the employee possibly failed to serve the notice period before leaving on resignation. Combining the entire information given in bits and pieces by the poster, one can understand that he was treated as an absconder and consequently, his services were terminated by the employer forthwith. Whether the process of such termination is well within the rules of procedure in tune with the principles of natural justice becomes out of context as the remedy sought for in the post is the settlement of F&F dues only. Without relevant particulars like the nature of the post held by the employee, the total length of service in the organization, earned leave (EL) at his credit, etc., I think it is not possible to answer the query.
