Legal Question in Workers Comp in India

Dear Sir,

I have taken an employment basis an offer letter with an Indian Arm of a Japanese Company from April/01/2013. However even after more than a year the company did not issue a formal appointment letter or confirmation letter. When followed rigorously the company started paying me 40% of my salary stating that my performance was not satisfactory since Feb/2014.

The company now on 20/05/2014 have issued a letter effective May/02/2014 that my services are been terminated but I would have to man their office until June/2014 until which date they would pay me the reduced salary. the reason for termination given is closure of Mumbai office. I have undergone huge monetary loss and my career is in jeopardize. Kindly help me with a line advise if I can sue the company at Mumbai / Navi Mumbai since we have taken a Shops & Establishment registration in Navi Mumbai which bears my name as authorized personal, and claim suitable compensation from them.

Look forward to an earnest reply.

Best Regards,

A.K.Choudhuri

Dear A K Choudhuri,

The Company is legally bound to pay your full salary as mentioned in your Offer Letter. Since the Shops and Establishment registration has been done in your individual name, you should not sign its transfer to another name till the Company fully settles all your dues. Since the Company has abruptly terminated your service, you should seek six months salary as compensation in addition to all your dues from the Company.

Regards,
