Facing Unfair Dismissal After 14 Months: How Should I Respond to HR's Notice?

My question is, my HR and my Manager held my confirmation letter even after confirmation, which shows in the company system on January 7, 2023. Yet, now my manager asked for my resignation with a notice period. I denied; he mailed HR on January 20, 2024, stating that I had not performed well and to take action accordingly.

14 months have been completed in that organization.

Then HR emailed me that my last working day is January 31, 2024. What should I do?

Alternatives for Handling Employment Issues

There are two alternatives: to leave without questioning and find another job to make the career peaceful, or to fight against the decision by filing a complaint in the appropriate forum, legally or otherwise. If you choose the latter, you may not be able to spend the rest of your days or career peacefully.

Understanding Probationary Periods

Non-confirmation and asking an employee to leave during the probationary period are purely management prerogatives. Until you receive communication confirming your status, you will remain under probation. There are court verdicts that support termination during probation without the need to provide a reason. If the termination order is stigmatic, you can challenge it; otherwise, you have no option but to accept it.

Hi Sridhdar,

Professional Ethics and Employee Rights in the Workplace

In the modern corporate landscape, the relationship between employees and management is governed by a set of ethical principles and legal obligations designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and respect. However, instances of unethical behavior and breaches of employee rights can still occur, leading to disputes and challenges that require careful consideration and resolution.

The scenario presented raises concerns about the treatment of an employee following their confirmation in the company. The individual in question has indicated that despite being confirmed in the company system on 1-7-23, both the HR department and their manager retained their confirmation letter. Subsequently, the manager has requested the employee's resignation citing performance issues, prompting the employee to contest this decision and the associated notice period.

Thanks
