I’ve been a permanent employee at Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd., a part of Royal Dutch Shell, for the past 8 years. Recently, due to lower oil prices, the company announced layoffs and asked me to look for another job. They’ve mentioned a 3-month notice period before potential termination, as per my contract. Is this legally permissible? What steps can I take to protect myself or seek additional compensation?

Yes, a 3-month notice period is legally permissible in India if it’s specified in your employment contract. However, you can explore options like negotiating a severance package or seeking legal advice to understand your rights and potential compensation under the relevant labour laws.
