What this guide covers

Employment remedies vary by role, establishment, contract, standing orders and applicable central or state law. Do not assume every employee has the same industrial-dispute remedy. SAMADHAN identifies illegal termination among matters handled through the labour grievance framework.

What to do now

Do not sign a resignation or settlement you do not understand. Request the termination reason and final dues in writing, collect service records, calculate notice and statutory dues, and obtain advice on the correct limitation period and forum.

Keep these records

Keep contract, policies, appraisals, warnings, attendance, salary records, termination communication, resignation drafts and settlement calculations.

Where to go

Use SAMADHAN where applicable, the competent labour authority, a union, or a qualified employment lawyer.

Important

This guide provides general legal information, not case-specific advice. Procedure, limitation periods, authorities and remedies can vary by state and facts. Verify the current official rules before acting.
