You are entitled to salary for the month of May as you are employed until April 31st. Since your last working day coincides with the end of the academic year and your employment contract likely covers the entire year, you are eligible for the full month’s salary.

I’ve been working as a department manager in a private company for over 6 years, earning around 45 thousand rupees a month. Recently, I was asked to resign. I’ve heard that after 5 years of service, an employee can’t be fired unless there’s a serious misconduct issue. Is this true? What legal options do I have? I’m keen to keep my job.

Respected Sir, I understand that government employees can be suspended if they remain in custody for over 48 hours. I was previously suspended for this reason but the suspension was lifted within a month, even though the criminal case was ongoing. However, after 3.5 years, the authorities are proposing to set up an inquiry committee and possibly suspend me again. Could you please clarify the rules regarding this situation?

I’m an officer working at the BEST undertaking in Mumbai. I was dismissed due to sexual harassment allegations, but the person who dismissed me wasn’t from the internal women’s cell. He was a delegated GM with no authority to appoint. Is my dismissal valid? Additionally, after I completed cross-examination with the complainant, the first inquiry officer resigned. A second officer was appointed, re-conducted the cross-examination, and completely invalidated the first one. He then dismissed me. Isn’t this a violation of natural justice?

I’m a seasoned design engineer with 15 years of experience. Back in June 2012, I joined a US-based multinational company in Bangalore, led by an NRI woman who, let’s just say, had a very particular management style. It felt like she ran the place as her own personal kingdom, without much regard for established procedures. From the start, I found it difficult to showcase my skills, constantly being assigned tasks that didn’t utilize my expertise. The lack of clear policies and her quick-to-fire approach left many experienced professionals feeling stuck. After six months, I was made a permanent employee. But the situation didn’t improve. I continued to be assigned menial tasks, and despite consistently delivering, I faced criticism without any concrete explanations. In February 2014, I suffered a severe knee injury, requiring me to take a few days off. While unable to physically be at the office, I remained connected through VPN and continued to complete my work. However, to my surprise, I was abruptly terminated on the 19th, accused of poor performance. This termination happened despite the company’s own agreement requiring them to provide a month’s notice or pay. They refused to let me discuss the situation, demanding an immediate resignation. When I refused, they terminated me. They also unfairly deducted my entire tax from my salary, despite me providing details of my investments, promising to issue a Form 16 later. The timing of this termination was particularly devastating, as I was scheduled for knee surgery on the 23rd. The company was aware of my situation, yet they terminated me before I could utilize their insurance. The sudden loss of income meant I couldn’t afford the surgery and had to cancel it. I feel this was an incredibly unfair act, and I’m seeking legal advice. I’ve tried contacting them multiple times to appeal the decision, but I received a legal notice accusing me of harassment. I’m now seeking expert advice on my options. What are my chances of successfully challenging their actions in a court of law? Are there any legal professionals in Bangalore who could take up my case? I’ve also heard about filing a writ in the High Court. Any guidance on these options would be greatly appreciated.

I worked at a school for seven years. When I was pregnant for the first time, they gave me unpaid leave. However, they refused leave during my second pregnancy, even though they assured me they would call me back. I left in August 2014, and they cleared my PF in February 2015. I later learned about gratuity and, after arguing, they paid it in August 2015. I was five months pregnant at the time and want my job back. I don’t have an appointment letter, but I have an experience certificate signed by them. They won’t pay gratuity, bonus, or leave encashment, but they did pay my gratuity after I showed them legal papers. Can I do anything to get my job back?
