Q-1: My contract says I should get 2 months’ salary if I’m let go without proper notice. How much money should I be expecting? Q-2: My company says they don’t have a leave encashment policy, but I have 30 pending leaves. Can I get paid for these? Q-3: What else can I ask for besides compensation for unfair termination? I’ve faced mental harassment and lost time and money. What are my options?

**Q-1:** Your entitlement is two months’ salary based on your last drawn salary, including any allowances.

**Q-2:** While there’s no legal obligation for a leave encashment policy, you can negotiate with your employer for payment of your accumulated leaves.

**Q-3:** Besides compensation, you can claim damages for mental harassment and lost earnings. You can also file a complaint with the appropriate authorities like the Labour Commissioner or the National Commission for Women.
