Understanding Employee Termination and Notice Period under the Factory Act - CiteHR

Dear Seniors, We have decided to terminate two workers; one is on the company payroll, and the other is a contract employee. After giving several warnings, they didn't follow the company's rules.

Salary and Notice Period Query

So, now we have to give them their June salary. My question is whether we have to provide them with the July salary as we are giving them a one-month notice period but have asked them not to come from tomorrow.

Regarding workmen on your muster roll, you need to follow the labor law and disciplinary rules mentioned in the company standing orders.

Regarding Contract Workmen

It is up to the contractor. As the principal employer, you cannot terminate the contract worker. However, you can request the contractor to replace the employee.

Thank you very much. Our manufacturing factory is covered under the Factory Act, and we have only 12 workers in the factory. Could you please advise if we need to pay them notice period wages as we have informed them not to come from tomorrow?

In the case of a worker on your muster roll who has worked for 240 days in a year, you have to give one month's notice or pay in lieu thereof. Additionally, you have to provide them with retrenchment compensation at the rate of 15 days' salary for every completed year of service. It is also necessary to give notice to the conciliation officer of the area and to the government.
