What legal action can be taken against illegal termination?
I worked in a private company for about 15–16 months. In August, they terminated me without notice or a proper reason in the termination email. They didn’t pay my July salary and asked me to submit some work-related documents, saying the dues would be cleared within 45 days after termination (7th August). I submitted everything by 30th August, but now they claim the 45-day count starts from the submission date. Yesterday, they said I must sign some documents before receiving my pending salary and experience letter. I'm worried that if I sign, I may not get the full amount and will lose any legal recourse. Is there any law that can help in this situation?
If terminated without valid reason or due process, you can file a complaint under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Labour Court may order reinstatement with back wages or compensation. It's recommended to consult a labour law expert to evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
