I’ve been working as a temporary peon at LIC for the past 10 months. All the permanent peons have been promoted, so there are no regular positions available. My contract states that if a permanent peon is hired, my job will end. The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of regularizing full-time temporary employees in Tamil Nadu. What will happen to our future if LIC replaces us with permanent employees? What options will we have if we are let go?
Best Answer
While the Supreme Court ruling in Tamil Nadu might offer some hope, it doesn’t automatically apply to LIC employees across India. Your employment is governed by your contract, and LIC has the right to replace temporary staff with permanent ones. If let go, you can pursue legal options under the contract, including seeking severance pay or claiming unfair dismissal, but the outcome is uncertain.
