Your father has likely developed a right to employment due to working for 35 years, even though the rent is low. You can approach the Labor Commissioner or file a complaint at the local Labor Court. He is eligible for severance pay and can contest the dismissal.

As a lecturer in Computer Applications at a polytechnic college in Madhya Pradesh, I was appointed in 2008 under the 2004 recruitment rules. My salary was fixed at ₹15,600 – ₹39,100 with an Academic Grade Pay (AGP) of ₹6,000 during the sixth pay revision. Recently, my principal issued an order reducing my AGP to ₹5,400, citing a clarification from the AICTE’s January 2016 Gazette (referring to their 2010 guidelines). This change supposedly applies to science and humanities subjects, but my branch, Computer Applications, is a technical degree. There’s no other postgraduate degree available in Computer Applications.

As the Principal of a respected institute, I dedicated myself to excellence for ten years, consistently achieving outstanding results. However, after a new individual was hired, my work came under unwarranted scrutiny. Despite facing staffing shortages, I was expected to deliver exceptional performance. Sadly, this situation led to verbal and mental harassment, forcing me to resign. To my dismay, they later withheld my four-month salary, which I eventually cleared. What legal options do I have to address this unfair treatment?

I was an Assistant at the LIC of India Bareilly branch in 1987. My employment ended on December 24th, 1987. The next three days were government holidays, and the following working day was Monday. I didn’t take any leave during my time at LIC. Would my leave days be counted towards my total experience? Is my experience over 85 days, considering my due leave?

I’m working in a central government department on contract, and they’re deducting 10% from my salary for the Provident Fund. They’re calculating it only on my Band Pay and Grade Pay, leaving out the Dearness Allowance (DA). My current salary is around 6,000 Band Pay plus 2,000 Grade Pay, with a DA of around 120%. They’re deducting 10% of 8,000 (Band Pay + Grade Pay), which seems incorrect. Should the DA be included in the PF calculation? Is it correct to deduct only 10% of my basic pay and grade pay?

I joined an IT company in November 2015. After two months of training, I was designated as a team leader. They had a 95% passing score for the training exam, but I only scored 80%. Now, they’re asking me to resign because I didn’t pass. However, my appointment letter doesn’t mention this 95% requirement. I haven’t resigned and told them they can terminate me. What legal options do I have in this situation?
