YOU ARE FIRED
In March 2020, the entire nation went for lockdown
due to COVID -19. The situation forced many of the Public and Private Sectors
to go for the idea of Work from Home.
The company has two important aspects Employer and
Employee. An employer is the one who engages one’s work or service whereas an employee is the one who works for others after the appointment.
The appointment of the employee is done with the common way of the interview.
During the interview and after the interview, the
employers make their employees sign a legal contract that follows some rules
and regulations of the company or institution. The legal contract is nothing
but a promise between you and the company and in short, Job security.
The contract has terms and conditions like the employees have to give a month prior notice before the resignation, the employee is bind with the company for a year or so. The contract is signed for the safety and a good image of the company, so there shouldn’t be any intentional or unwanted loss to the company and its reputation. It is also done so if any of the one Employer or Employee fails to follow the rules bind in the contract can take legal action against the other.
Indian constitution has provided several powers to
Central and State governments to make the relation between Employer and
Employee transparent and strong under several acts like the Industrial
Development Act,1947, Contract Labour Act 1970, Employee’s Compensations Act
1923, and many such.
There are two types of agreement (Contract) i.e.
Written and Oral. Written agreement contents all the rights and conditions
which are to be followed by both the parties, a written agreement is a type of
job security for the employee as mentioned in the agreement an employee can
take various leave like sick leave, casual leave, and maternity leave. The
company or employer has no right to fire the employee for such reasons.

In recent times many of the complaints are filed
against the reputed companies about without intimation and without due pay the
services of the employees have been terminated. In such cases, an employee can
file a case in the Labour Court for Violation of the Rights. The employee can
also send a legal notice through the learned advocate and after the notice, if
there is no positive response, the employee can go a lodge a police complaint
against the company for breach of trust. An employee can also take the matter
to the Registrar of the Company against the wrongdoing of the company.
The employer has the right to terminate the employee
but the termination should not violate the rights of the employee contract. If
the employee’s termination is lawful he /she can enjoy certain benefits.
Termination of employees is not unlawful unless it is
void or reasonable.
An Employee should always read and have proper
knowledge of his rights as there are many laws for each sector including the
private sector too. An Employee should read the agreement before signing it.
BE AWARE AND KNOW WHAT YOU SIGN.
