Unfair termination
My Employer unfairly terminated my Employment citing performance reasons. I was never given any warnings and was never on any PIP of any kind. This was done to save money for themselves and with bad intention of causing problems with my future employment. I was working for them as Digital Marketing Specialist, all of sudden they terminated employment and blocked all my official emails id's which had work delivery details and other communication emails but still I have the copies of all marketing work, I have done for them during the time until termination. https://imgur.com/a/zosCH Some question, you may have are answered below: 1 I was not on any performance improvement plan or no warnings issued prior to termination. It was sudden decision they took, which I believe was unfair as I was not given any chance to improve and this termination citing performance will make it harder for me to get another job. 2 They phone call me and forcefully asked to resign and I said I need 3 months notice they said not possible and after 2 days sent me termination letter citing performance reasons and blocked all my official emails. Till this date they never complained about my work. 3 Previously they were based in HYD now only in Chennai and they asked me to work from home after they shut down hyd office in Aug 2017, until they terminated this. 4 I have completed 11 months with organization so far, till termination. 5 No contracts in place, all I have is Appointment letter and work from home agreement which do not discuss about Termination process. However, I have one letter with salary details which discusses about 3 months mutual notice for termination but that is not signed by anyone but given by them at the time of employment. 6 Till date after 50+ days of termination, they paid me some settlement money without any breakdown etc. 7 No Contract in Place but as per Appointment letter it says 3 months mutual notice period. Ask: Is this classed unfair termination and am I okay with asking 3 months salary. Termination letter available here: https://imgur.com/a/zosCH

The termination in your case is unfair and cannot be accepted you need to be compensated for termination and your termination letter need to be reissued by them.
Give them a legal notice for stating wrong reason of termination and reinstating your job or giving salary for 3 months as to notice period.
If company doesnot reply make representation before labour commissioner if matter is not resolved before labour comisiomer matter will be out before labour court. Donot worry you are entitled to compensation.
Further as per termination and notice period terms in your employment agreement or appointment letter you are entitled for complete claim.
1) If you have signed appointment letter at that time of joining and both the parties had signed in it, so whatever is telling regarding termination clause its true and you must get it 3 months salary.
2) If they had not signed any letter of joining than you won't be applicable for 3 months lieu salary.
In india, the MNC's are able to operate freely only because of liberal hire and fire norms, and the government is supportive to such policies. Aggravating the issue by filing a case will jeopardize your career. Reconcile that it is a practice in vogue and keep moving.
As told by a stalwart, trust your skills and not the company.
Hello,
They cannot fire you like this without any specific reason .
I would like to suggest you to contact your local lawyer and send a legal notice .
Hope this helps.
You can send them a legal notice for illegal termination. You can file a suit in labour court or civil court as per your designation. Unlawful termination in labour court.
Please sir file a suit for recovery of money to recover dues from company for remaining three months of notice period the letter will be sufficient to raise your claim.
Secondly also file a industrial dispute before concerned labour court seeking for damages for harm done to your career because of attitude of management. Send them legal notice through a lawyer.
Dear,
This is a classed unfair termination.The employer has to follow the due process of law. You should go to Labour court for relief. For workers and employees the law is strict and they can go to labour Court .
Thanks all of you for your advice. The things I would like to clarify is 1 Is there a legal process of termination of employee based on performance Or Can company get rid of any employee citing performance or other reasons not matter if that is correct or not. 2 I only have appointment letter which is signed by HR which has a attachment with salary breakdown which discusses about 3 months mutual notice period but that paper is not signed by anyone is that valid proof and accepted. 3 Its Pvt Ltd company they are based in chennai and me in HYD, which labour court should I approach.
