Regarding Notice period - If the company immediately fires an employee

If a company immediately fires an employee and then, after three days, calls them back to sit at the security gate to complete the notice period, what should the employee do in such a situation? Please provide guidance.

Understanding Immediate Termination

What do you mean by immediately firing? Is it terminating without notice? Then why should the employee go and sit in the security cabin to complete the notice period?

If the employer has terminated an employee without notice, the remedy is to approach the Labour Officer. The employee should not go to the factory gate every day. Instead, let him go to the Labour Office just one day and submit a complaint for illegal termination.

Handling Immediate Termination and Coercion

The intelligent person will avoid the call and refrain from signing anything. In case of coercion, the individual can file an FIR to resolve the situation.

I think you mean the company terminated the employment but is asking the employee to report during the notice period. The action of the company is not well-thought-out.

What is the benefit of making him report?

They can always pay his salary during the notice period and inform him he need not come and that he will still get paid. That way, he can spend the notice period looking for a job or attending interviews.

But if he has been called, and the employee does not report, the company can claim he did not finish the notice period and not pay. The matter will then be settled by courts, which are expensive for both sides.

Incidentally, what is your position in this?

Dear all,

I would like to seek your guidance regarding an issue of unfair termination. One of my colleagues has been dismissed from his job without any prior notice. The management conducted an unjust investigation and accused him of misconduct.

Furthermore, the company has not provided him with:

- Notice period pay
- Severance package
- Gratuity amount
- Bonus
- Leave encashment

I would appreciate your advice on the appropriate steps to take to either claim the rightful compensation or explore the possibility of reinstating his position.

Looking forward to your guidance.
