Termination Policy in India

4083

‘Termination rules for employees’ will always be a daunting term for any employee. An employee’s livelihood is dependent upon them being in employment and earning their monthly salary, and if that very livelihood is taken away, it can cast a gloom in their lives. However, termination of employment can be for various reasons, and a company will and should always have suitable reasons for taking such decisions. Fortunately, we do not have a ‘hire and fire’ policy in India, so there couldn’t be a termination without notice in India, unlike the West. Employers need to follow certain procedures under the law before terminating an employee’s service, and in some instances, even pay compensation. They do need to follow Indian Labour laws for Termination of Employment.

In this article, we will try and set down the manner and procedure for termination of service, and the monetary entitlements thereto.

‘Workman’ and ‘Non-workman’

Employees in India are generally categorized as a ‘workman’ or a non-workman. The term ‘workman’ has been defined under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (“ID Act”), and would inter-alia mean all persons employed in any industry but does not include an employee who is in a managerial, administrative or supervisory role. Apart from the definition under the ID Act, there is no set formula to distinguish between a workman and a non-workman, and the position has been tested and established through various judgments, depending upon the nature of work being carried out by an employee.

An employee who is considered to be a workman will be governed by the ID Act, and their termination of service will have to be in accordance with the provisions of the ID Act.

Types of Termination of employment

Termination of employment may take place due to misconduct, discharge or retrenchment.

Misconduct

Termination of employment can be for misconduct, for which the employer is required to conduct disciplinary proceedings. The procedure to terminate an employee in India, for conducting a disciplinary proceeding has been set out under the law. It includes constituting and having a disciplinary panel, serving a show cause notice to the errant employee, and giving the employee a reasonable chance to put forth his defense. Proceedings have to be conducted in a fair manner, keeping in mind principles of natural justice.

In some cases, the outcome of the disciplinary proceeding may justify dismissal without notice, and any compensation. Under law, the term misconduct provides a list of circumstances and events which would amount to misconduct. It is an inclusive list, and hence, employers have the right to include in their company policies/ service rules, such other events, as it may deem fit, which would in their line of business, amount to misconduct. Misconduct includes wilful insubordination or disobedience; theft, fraud or dishonesty; wilful damage or loss of employer’s property; bribery; habitual lateness or absence; striking unlawfully and sexual harassment.

The aforesaid procedure for termination will apply to all employees whether workman or non-workman.

Discharge

The termination of employment of employees who are not workman are governed by the notice period in their employment contract, and the shops and establishment act (“S&E’”) of the State in which they work. Generally, the State S&E’s provide for at least one month’s notice of termination, or pay in lieu of termination, and in some instances, termination needs to be with cause, and in some other cases, the employer needs to pay compensation for terminating the employment. The notice of dismissal under an employment contract should not be less favourable than what is prescribed under law.



Retrenchment

The Industrial Dispute Act sets out the steps to be undertaken for retrenchment. The term retrenchment has been defined to mean termination by the employer of employment of a worker for any reason, other than disciplinary grounds, with certain exceptions.

An employer who proposes to retrench a workman, who have been continuously employed for more than one year, must give one month’s notice (together with the reason for the retrenchment) or pay in lieu of such notice to the workman. The employer must also inform the local labour authorities of the retrenchment within a stipulated time frame.

Rules for Retrenchment Compensation

Additionally, employers are also obliged to apply the “last in-first out” rule in selecting the workman for retrenchment except for reasonable cause. A retrenched workman is entitled to retrenchment compensation as per the provisions of the ID Act, which is calculated at the rate of 15 days wages for every year of continuous service. Certain establishments (factories, mines, plantations) employing over 100 workers may not be retrenched unless three months’ written notice, stating reasons for the retrenchment, or pay in lieu of notice, is given to the worker. Furthermore, prior approval from the relevant governmental authority must be taken before the retrenchment is made.

Severance Pay

Upon termination of employment of any employee, the employer is required to clear all dues, which are payable to the employee at the time of the termination. Some of these payments are as follows:

  1. Notice pay, where notice of termination has not been given;
  2. Salary for the days worked, but not paid for, during the month where the employee has been terminated;
  3. Payment of gratuity for employees who have completed at least 5 years of service, in terms of the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972. This act is applicable to establishments which have 10 or more employees. The gratuity is calculated at 15 days salary for every completed year of service;
  4. Leave encashment, for the leaves accrued, but not used by the exiting employee;
  5. Statutory bonus, if the employee is eligible for the same. Employees who are earning up to Rs. 10,000 per month and who has worked in an establishment for not less than 30 working days in a financial year will be entitled to statutory bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965;
  6. Retrenchment compensation, if the employee is a workman, and his services have been retrenched;
  7. Such other dues that may have been contractually agreed between the employer and the employee, or is payable under the employer’s company policies;
  8. Assist the employee in making applications to the appropriate authority, for withdrawal of the provident fund dues, accumulated to the credit of the existing employee.

There may be other dues payable, and such will vary from employment to employment.

  2. May I request you to reach out to the Finance Minister and make an application for exempting interest from the EPF (Employee provident fund) corpus for those who have resigned (made to resign with settlement), terminated, on Sabbatical, etc before the age of 58. The rationale is that interest on this earned PF corpus is tax free if the person is in employment (as employer is paying PF contribution every month), while the same corpus becomes taxable if he is not in employment. The purpose of PF is defeated as the scheme is designed to encourage citizens to save on PF till age 58.

    Moreover many employees run the risk of getting income tax notices for the past 7 years, with penalty if they dont pay interest on the PF they have retained with EPFO.

    I did tweet this to the FM last month, but didnt get any response. It will be great if you can use your office to make appropriate representation for many people who have lost their jobs or are struggling to find a new job. Thanking you.

  3. In case of retrenchment / close of business by the employer before completion of one year then what should be notice period and the compensation that needs to be provided to the employees

  4. Dear Sir,
    This is Raja from Pondicherry working as a HR Manager. we want to terminate three guys who are foring the other people to involve illegal strike and frequnet nuisance to the management. They were approached the Union for their demand. In this senario how i can handle them.

    • first of all as a HR manager ,you should be sympathetic toward these guys, if they are really a problem,and indulge in illegal activities at work place ,today’s world you can record every thing. so do that and warn them, still they continue you can serve them notices , and ask them to leave the organisation.
      it sounds simple, i know the repercussions , you need to handle it in real professional way, not to be a senty.

  5. In India lakhs of employees getting terminated but there seems no action taken by labour department.Working since last 10 years in IT Industry.have seen many illegal termination. So people will hate to work in private industry.

  6. Whatever rules Private sector employees are terminated with out any reason or compensation. Lay offs are common by giving pink slips citing the reason of company’s poor business growth or dismal performance of employee or bench clerks who wait for the work for projects. Employees must be protected with strict legal provisions and suitably compensated.

  7. ask for compensation ,seek help from the office of labor commissioner, if you have worked moremore than 5 yrs. you will be eligible for gratuity, and other benifits ,i,e. leave wages ,pf, bonus etc . pl consult a labor officer he will be areal help.

  8. What is the act, policy or GR of the NGO, Semi government NGO, Trust, Non profit NGO About the Leave, sick and casual leave, Salary and working hours.

  9. I am wife of the employee with a leading company who got the termination of services after 30 years of service in the same company…. Was very regular for work…just 3 months before he was terminated.. He went on LTA… At home he said he is going with his friends n will return after a week….never returned he went missing…. He is still missing… I made several enquiries when he didn’t return after 15 days…his services were terminated as per rules and they sent notice to this effect… Days went into months n now years.. His retirement date also got over.. He is still missing….
    No where we could trace him…. Can you please help me in atleast getting the money ….His service benefits still in the company only as they did not help me to claim the same. I am struggling with my salary… Somehow I gave good education to my son…. For PF n EPF nominee is myself… But unable to claim it…. I would be very grateful to your help in the matter.

    • In case whereabouts of a person is not known for seven years his/ her death is presumed .This has to be declared by a court upon making and application.A nominee can claim EPF Gratuity etc only after the demise of the employee.
      Consult a lawyer for proceeding ahead.

  10. Log a complaint in Labour court with the details.
    Definatley they will help you & your employer will be dare if you log the compliant.

  11. We are forced to sign in 1 year bond without any benefit. If we never accept this, our top level management ask us to resign the job. So in this case, how we will raise this issue with govt?.

  19. I want to know more about the rules and procedure of this ID act. Please send it to me on 9919457166

  20. No one even bothers about these matters.. There are many companies who all are not giving salaries to their employees and they are it for the past 35 years.. One of them is Valeda herbal Pvt LTD( this company is in Kaushambi Ghaziabad,U.P.).. Many employees lodged a case against them but nothing happened.. Seriously wanna do something to shut down these types of companies..

  21. Could you please tell that is there any rule under which an employee can be fired if he/she’s on leave for more than 6 months for medical reasons? Since, the reason is medical, so that employee cannot work from home & also that employee isn’t on leave for leisure purpose but ‘Medical’ (which cannot be manipulated).

  22. Its very simple. lots of people are getting terminated because there is job for you or there are no projects to assign you or you are not upgraded as per companies needs. Companies are running to keep your job running and paying for nothing. They are private companies and they are running for their business needs. Remember its not a govt. job to enjoy un usual benefits. You have to work hard, keep you update and despite of all that companies might run out of projects in this fast growing market and needs to cut the cost, so major cost cutting comes from terminating employees and no one can question that. If you guys are so concern about that, just write civil services and any govt. jobs and settle your life.

  23. I was also working in a leading company of India for 12years.They forced me to resign and I give my resignation then I go to labour court but they will not able to help me.Now I has got almost 2years.I am still unemployed.Is there any help or any suggestions what will I do.If there is any hope , please let me know.

  31. I was forced to resign in last year November by my company without any valid grounds just because a few tasks were delayed by our service providers (with whom I was dealing) for non payment of their bills as it was a habit of the company to hold payments for long times. I had already taken the case with my boss regarding this delay in work due to our non payments and requested him to take the case to the management. He was a coward boss and put all blames on me when management came to know the issue and asked my resignation. Though I am forced to be self employed now as still struggling to get a job even after having more than 20 years of experience in various companies I just want to ask our law makers is their a law in India to stop such forceful resignations to protect the employee or still the old law of Maalik and Naukar being followed by us.

  37. Companies act really dirty when they decide to terminate any employee especially on the grounds of false allegation and personal discrepancy. I would really request most to spread the awareness among people especially new employee or a less experienced employee to spread this awareness on what steps one should to when suchlike incident happens.

  44. This is not fortunate, but unfortunate. India should have hire and fire which is a great boost to mass manufacturing and modern electronics industry. All of Japan, korea and China allow easy and clean (and honest) ways to quickly hire and fire many people. But due to Indian low foresight laws, job security has become a birth right, and so low industrialization and poverty is the result.

    Labor laws should rather focus on employee rights like safety and humane work environment, timely payment of salaries, overtime, allowances, harassment etc. But it is the right of the employer to hire or fire, not the employees’ .

  45. It has no rules in India. Especially Tamilians and Maharashtrian Brahmins will let only their caste employees work . For others they will harass and make them resign forcefully.

  46. Companies are using 3rd party companies and place to an employer to hire a person whom they want to retrench. Then with the new 3rd party company, they will post to a far distant place where the employee has to spend 3-4 hours one way for travelling and then at the end of 3rd month the employer will simply say that the contract was only for 3 months and it has ended. However the 3rd party which hired will not give this info at the time of hiring. What will you do in such a situation

  47. Who will hear the such consequences like termination and retrenchment related issues? Second things, is it applicable in any organisation like teaching in private engineering colleges?

  48. Hiiiiii
    Normally owners are very thankless people… Even exploitation in education field is not less..to be very honest…. Owners r not the academicians so want to run the institution in their own way…. Principals are just the signing machine n nothing else. Recruitment of substandard faculties who r not up to the mark….heiring at low cast or They will not hier the faculties n expect the principal to take whole 8 periods. In between there some urgent need, let the class suffer who cares…. Then, syllabus not complete, who will make the paper for exams, correction of answer sheets….if something goes unsystematic, Principal is caught…. Syllabus not done, Principal to blamed….

    Else terminated without defining the reasons….. Without any compensation…. There is no rules for the money people….

  52. My current employers have a policy that while an employee accepts the offer, he/she has to give an undated cheque equivalent to 1 month’s CTC as joining security deposit which the company encash if one does not join. It is given back after the employee joins the organisation

    Also, while joining, another such cheque is taken worth Rs. 1 lac as 3 year bond (they call it agreement). If an employee leaves before 3 years, it is encashed. Most of the employees are such who have some problem and hence they had joined. So, they generally do not object to it while joining. Only after joining, I realised that certain people had refused for the 3 year agreement & they do not have any such agreement.

    In the 1st place, can the company have such agreement for professionals who are not fresh graduates?
    If yes, can the company have such differential policies for employees who agree and for those who do not?

    They have taken signatures on agreements as well.
    Pls guide.

  57. Hi,
    In case false action is taken by the employers then what employee can do.

    Please assist.

  58. I Dinesh was working with Medtronic .
    As said by the company that they are going on loss so terminated 75% of employees.
    Is this the ground that Medtronic can fire people with this ground.

  59. There are some companies that compensate better during the restructuring seasons. The irony is that almost all companies scout for young talent with glam and presentation skills and forgo the core domain and technical skills with a belief that front ending succeeds best. To accommodate this talent, experience and skilled domain employee is scarified. Later on the companies realize these young talent hired have left them in lurch when the core work is assigned to them and either hop jobs or go abroad for higher studies. Once again, another young talent is scouted for. Seldom do the companies realize that Experience is a product of time and knowledge and not a multiple of currency.

    • Yes it’s going to prevail because our law makers are all govt beaurocrates who r least bothered for people like us working in pvt sector. They r getting their salary ..why the hell they will take burdens of making or changing laws …

  60. Dear Sir
    I resigned recently from my service in an indian company after 16 yrs of service. As per my employment offer letter & annual salary slip, i am entitled to get Superannuation from my employer. However my employer is refusing to pay me without any valid reason now. I came to know that they never paid any of the previous employees who left the organisation. What action i can take against my employer ? Is it valid to claim my superannuation legally ? It seems to me they are willing to pay only upon retirement.

  68. Hi am Ms.Rashmi working in German MNC Company, my vice president is torturing me a lot he has strictly ordered to all employees to dont speak with me he has not gave any work for past one year. he make me to sit simply past one year that too he has hired new employee to do my work, he his giving indirect torture for me past one year no one is not speaking with me no work was assigning me, am became mentally very upset. I have got promoted as a Factory Manager but related that no works are assigning me. am became alone in the office. he is torturing me to give resignation.

    • India legal system is totally useless in this matter, India,s were having some hopes from BJP Govt. But India Jurididiction system is still very useless, peoples were having some hopes from centre govt. But still there is no hope for years , going for legal redressal is totlally wastege of time and money and geting more mental torturing also.

  69. I was working with a mnc but was retrenched in feb 2017. a contract was signed between us. when the time came to give out that compensation I was given the amount 10 times less informing me that the amount mentioned in the contract was wrong and what they are actually paying me was as per indian labour law. They informed me even courts would not listen to me as they would side with the company. But my plea is since I was banking on that amount, which I did not get. with that amount I was going to start something new and hence did not search for a job. But this has now created a great dent in my career. my contract was signed in oct 2016 and I was informed of their mistake in apr 2017.

    can I log a complaint for a legal redressal.

  75. Hi Team ,

    My Father has worked in a export import firm for 27 years or more .From last three years he was demanding for hike but they had not given even a single extra penny in that . Also he was very dedicated towards work . but as he was not getting hike from the organisation he was little careless in work so that the owner should realise about the hike.but instead of that he had heated argument with my father due to which my father had asked him for Job resignation. Even that should also happen as per the employment policy he should serve either for three months notice period or he should get the three month salary if owner is not willing to take him further but none of these happened. Please suggest what actions can be against them.

    Thanks & Regards
    Rishabh

  76. Hi, I have read the Article and I am glad to know there are termination rules in private sector. I was hired for a project, I gave them complete insight within 4 months but they kept me pushing for more research. I was simultaneously asked to handle another project, due to two different departments it was difficult to manage both. I kept my focus on the first project.

    Suddenly, one day I was asked to leave. When I asked for the reason, they simply said they don’t need me. I said, how can you fire someone within 6 months without giving them a prior notice? They replied, we do this daily. I was surprised, companies just “hire and fire”. I was not paid any severance nor asked to serve a single day notice period.

    Can we take any action against such companies and the management. I hope even they should have fear and pay for such loses. Because, we need to answer the next employer. Our resumes have no answer!

    Please kindly, write me back.

    Thank You!

  77. my quarry for salary only
    how many days salary claim by a senior employee or manager

  78. Dear Sir,
    I have worked for a oil company in India for 03 years and 09 months. One day during a meeting they have terminated me from the company without assigning any reason. When i asked them for reason in mail they have replied:
    “In this connection, please note that your services have been terminated in terms of your contract of employment with the Company, on payment of one months’ basic salary (Rs /-) in lieu of one months’ notice.
    Your termination from services is, thus, lawful and in accordance with the specific terms of the contract of employment.
    The termination letter issued to you is innocuous and does not cast any stigma.
    However, you are well aware of the circumstances leading to your termination which were discussed with you before your services were terminated”
    Now have already taken a more than 1.6 months for my final settlement which is still awaited even after regular follow up. They did not give me any warning letter before my termination and i was a good performer. I am a family man and only earning person in my family with a small amount of one month basis salary how a person can live. I am unable to understand how any company can terminate a employee without any prior warning etc.

    Please advice. What can i do? Please help.

  81. Hi, I want one of my friend to get back to his job. He worked in dell for 10yrs plus. He was an manager. There was no bad remarks in his history.
    A week ago his team employee had raised an HR case on him stating he asked one of his teammate to take a feedback survey and she had given her credentials..
    So this is not an harrassment case or some thing like that.

    It was a mistake which has no proof that manager had asked to take survey. Now over here the manager has been terminated stating ethics compliance. But why didn’t they terminate other employee who given her credentials and other person who took survey instead of her.
    Why did they terminate my friend. Atleast they would have given a warning letter or suspended for some days. But they directly terminated him. Now he has a commitments. He has his family dependent on him. Who’s responsible for this.

    I need someone to take an action on this. And help my friend to get his job back.

  82. Dear Sir,
    I was worked for Delhi since October 2018 to July 2019, in December 2018 company asked abut vacation plan of 2019 in advance and i given him on his format via mail, in 2019 before vacation i fulfill vacation form and got approval 1 month before of my travelling date. but when i was travelling that was Saturday and after office when i was in flight company sent me termination of contract mail at 6:20/6:24 PM without any reason and without any clause only he mentioned 2 month of notice period, i was sign permanent contract with Pvt Ltd Company.
    In the time of final settlement he merged my approved leave in 2 months of notice for example: from 03 June 19 to 13 June 19 i was on vacation because i was having EL+CL+Eid Holiday and vacation paper was approved my Manager/Management. In that case termination of contract Notice period will start from 14 June 19 to 2 Months Calendar Date because that’s my own leave and its approved.
    I send him mail regarding my leave and reason of termination of contract but he didn’t reply any things, he given me final settlement paper for signature but i mentioned comments on that paper regarding settlement.
    i was sending him reminder but no any reply, lastly he called me in his Noida office for discussion and by forcely and by presser with some another peoples he took my signature on settlement paper and also he took my signature on resignation paper when i asked him i didnt resign the company then he reply if you will not sign on these paper you cannot go from here and also company will not provide any amount to you.
    please suggest me if company terminated permanent employment contract without any clause and can company merged that approved leave/vacation in termination of contract in notice period??
    Because as per my knowledge he must have to pay 2 months of salary + approved vacation salary but he paid only 2 months of salary when i asked he replied you taken your vacation so its calculated in notice period.
    please advice. i was also given mail “company is ignoring my call and mail” but there is no any reply of any such mail.
    if company terminated employment contract after 10 months of service without any reason then i was eligible for gratuity or not???
    He paid June and July salary + 4 months of Bonus what he was deducting monthly from our CTC + 1 unpaid leave (unpaid leave also calculated wrong).

    Please advice us.
