• I was terminated from my current job. Can I take any legal action against the firm?

As my manager wants to move from automation team to manual team. We were hired for automation 
Incall he told us you will be working on 50% manual and 50% automation next 4months we agreed for that after discussion then he sends us an email saying 80% manual and 20% automation.

 But when he told the manual manager 100% they will work manual. You can use them accordingly. So I asked my manager why you are said like that, if this company doesn't require automation why you hired us(4 months back they hired me and I completed my prohibition also), I'm ready to leave if you give me severance. I requested him Please rethink on changes. (I haven't used any bad words in entire conversation).
next day my manager directly spoke to CEO without even talking to me single word, they said you are being terminated and you will get a 1-month salary that's it. immediately you have to leave office.

I just want to know is this my mistake? Just asking or questioning will terminate an employee. I expected at least he will understand our pain as we are affecting people with the decision and expected some kind of assurance from him.

Firslty, Sir, you have all right to ask for the compensation for the metal trauma been given to you by your employer.

Secondly, yes it is right whatever have been written in the offer letter.

Thirdly, but, they need to understand that no one would continue on the false promises.

Fourthly, you should file a suit for compensation plus relieving letter before the Civil Court.

1. As per the job contract either party can terminate the job on giving requisite notice for which no special reason is to be cited.

2. SO basically you can not challenge your termination and even if you the same is bereft of much merit.

3. rather it is not clear whether you are disbursed with arrears salary or not. if not then you cans end them for the same If still they do not release your arrears salary then you can initiate both civil and criminal action.

hello,

the company is arbitrarily acting against you and you should give them a legal notice and if they do not respond then file a case in the labor court.

Unilateral termination from service, without giving you any opportunity to explain your conduct, is bad and hence legally unsustainable challenge.

Thus, you are free to approach the consumer court and challenge your termination.

It is also open for you to send a legal notice to this co. in the present matter and thereupon take the subsequent available legal resources.

You can issue a legal notice to the company on this and demand reinstatement or to compensate you with a heavy amount.

If nothing fruitful is in vision, then you may plan to adopt legal steps through labor forum or by filing a writ petition before high court.

Even though the employment offer letter may contain the clauses as mentioned by you, there are chances if you fight it out legally.
