I was hired by a company just two weeks ago. They asked for my original educational certificates during onboarding, promising to return them when I leave. Now, without warning or a proper termination letter, they’ve told me to quit. They refuse to pay my salary for these two weeks and won’t give back my certificates. What are my options?

You have the right to receive your salary for the two weeks worked, even if you’re asked to quit. You can demand your certificates back and file a complaint with the labor department if they refuse. If they refuse to pay your salary, you can file a legal case against them.

I worked at EXL Service Private Limited in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, from February 2016 to July 2016. I was terminated in August 2016, with the reason cited as “probation” in the termination letter. The Labor Department, after reviewing my documents, ruled this termination illegal as “probation” does not justify termination under Indian law. My joining letter and salary structure do not mention a probation period, implying my status as a regular employee. I also presented a previous joining letter from 2007, along with experience and relieving letters, which further supported my claim. The HR’s termination letter, however, contradicts this.
