What legal action can be taken against Illegal Termination?
Employer legally terminate me and withhold salary payment. What can I do?
Dear client, as per your query, In India, illegal termination allows the employees to basically seek remedies like that of reinstatement, back wages, compensation, and recovery of dues by approaching the Labour Commissioner, Labour Court/Industrial Tribunal (for 'workmen' under the Industrial Disputes Act), or a Civil Court (for contract breaches, non-workmen). The key steps involve sending a legal notice, filing a complaint with the Labour Dept., conciliation, and then escalating to courts, with potential reliefs including reinstatement with full back pay or monetary compensation. I hope this answer was helpful. Incase of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
If an employer terminates you illegally and withholds salary, you can send a legal notice demanding unpaid wages. You may also file a complaint before the Labour Commissioner or approach the Labour Court under labour laws. Salary cannot be withheld for work already done, even after termination.
