In the post demonetization scenario how much valid is the argument raised by the opposition wing that prime minister Modi should come and discuss the issue. however he is evading it

Dear Sir,
I have worked in a managerial capacity for almost 15 years with MNC in India. Company relocated me last year from one city to another within India after serving for 14 years at one location. My notice period is three months but my superior is willing to release me immediately on resigning.
This year in April I was asked to find another job citing some reason as cost-cutting. In August I have been asked to resign by September end.
I also do not wish to continue here. Please suggest compensation package that I am entitled legally to ask from the company.(Eg. salary for each month for number of years served with the company?, relocation allowance back to my city of dwelling? gratuity etc.)
Thanking you very much.

Hello Sir/Ma’am,
I was working for a private US based private firm. They have asked me to leave without notice yesterday saying that my performance was not upto their expectations. So, now that I am jobless I want to know if am eligible to get the salary in lieu of my notice period or not.
Thanks
It depends upon the terms of employment in the appointment letter. The relief can be claimed under labour laws too if your job description falls within the definition of ‘workman’ in the Industrial Disputes Act
Sirs/Madams
I have worked as a employee for a private concern in india during the mid of year 2012 and resigned after completing probation of 6 months. Later that i went to overseas and came back now after 4 years to india due to personal problems . Now i am finding difficult to find job in my state eventhough opportunities come forward me by email and phone the manager (Mr. XYZ- Shall inform Later) of the private concern in Bangalore India has been circulating some bad information about me among the companies who are trying to hire me. Infact i got good contact certificate and work experience certificate from the same company but the information coming from the new companies who are interviewing me are giving feedback like the private company you worked since 4 years back did not certify you are as a good candidate likewise. I even tried to talk with that Manager personally over the phone also by email but there was no reply about his concern of passing such wrong message about me. To my knowledge i have never troubled him personally or professionally during the 6 month work period. Please advice how to resolve this matter legally or by personally talking to such concern.
You can take several steps to redress the problem. You can file a suit for injunction against the company from indulging in such activity. You can also file a defamation suit against the manager who is passing such wrong information.

Dear Sir/s
The monthly wages of few of the contract workers stands exceeded Rs.15000/per month and come out of the ambit of ESI Act. I solicit you learnt opinion as to the scope of filing a Writ before the Hon’ble High Court seeking a direction to ESI Corporation to extend voluntary coverage under the ESI Scheme for these contract workers premising on the following grounds:
• That the ESI Act, being a welfare legislation envisaging comprehensive Social Security Scheme, is socially protecting the ’employees’. The basic objective of the statute is to provide certain benefits in the event of sickness, maternity and employment injury to workmen (and their dependents) employed in Factories and other establishments come under its ambit.
• That once a factory or an Establishment is covered under the Act, it continues to be covered notwithstanding the fact that the number of persons/ coverable employees employed therein at any time falls below the required limit or there is a change in the manufacturing activity.
• That an employee who crosses the ceiling limit prescribed by the Central Government (Rs.15000/) in any month at any time after commencement of the contribution period, he/she would continue to be an employee till the end of that contribution period. Though there is a ceiling limit of wages for coverage of an employee, there is no ceiling limit in the definition of wages for payment of contribution. Hence, contribution is payable on the total wages without any ceiling limit.
• That there is no rationality or justification in denying coverage thereby depriving the benefits envisaged under the Act to the employees merely because of their wages getting exceeded by even 1 rupee from the existing ceiling fixed at Rs. 15000 under the definition of employee under Section 9 of the ESI Act.
• That the deprivation of the benefits to the workmen on the above sole ground (wages) defeats the very objective of a welfare statute.
• That the clause stipulating quantum of wages for coverage is not a prohibitory clause, rather, only a restrictive clause.
• That in the instant case, neither the employer nor the employee have any objection whatsoever as to the voluntary coverage of contract workers whose wages exceeded Rs. 15000.
• That it is high time to enhance the the wage ceiling for coverage, which now stands at Rs.15000/, taking in to consideration of the present day reality, though the matter is still pending with the Central Govt.
• That the term ‘exempted employee’ defined under Sec 10 of the ESI Act merely denotes an employee who is not liable to pay the employee contributions. The exemption limit with effect from 01.07.2011 is Rs. 100/per day. However, employer’s contribution is payable on these wages.
• That there is an inherent provision in the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provision Act 1942, which is also a welfare statute, for the voluntary coverage of employees whose basic wages exceeded the prescribed limit by moving a joint application by the employer and employee.
• That the Govt. of India have already initiated a move to expand the coverage of beneficiaries under the ESI Act even extending the benefits under the statute to autorikshaw drivers with an annual contribution of Rs. 3000 from their side.
Reference on Case laws, if any, in the matter, would be highly appreciated.

Hello sir/mam, i was an employee for a Public school and worked for 5 years and 3 months.I had resigned on 12th of january this year and hasn’t been paid my outstanding till now.When ever i ask about my status over the full and final they concludes with some issues about approvals of seniors pending as they are on tour etc etc…However people resigning on march months has also got their Full and final settlement.
To add on, i left my company along with 3 colleagues following my resignation, due to inhumane behaviour by my Senior HOD..
Hence, my query is that if i can file a case against this differentiation and harrashment created as quitting job wasn’t my option and i was made to..now i am unemployed and my full and final settlement would help me in my present financial status.
Were you a teacher or employed in other jobs relating to school. You can file a complaint with the Distt. Education Officer. You can also claim your outstanding dues by filing a claim petition in school Tribunal of your state. If you were not a teacher, beside above remedies you can claim through Labour court under sec 33 C(2) of Industrial Disputes Act.
Dear Sir,
I worked in software company from feb,2015 to feb,2016, there was a notice period which may vary 0-30 days.
so i put my resignation on 23rd of Feb. and they give me relevance by 25th Feb.
now in my experience letter they mentioned that “He did not fulfil the commitment to stay till the completion of assigned project”.
Although, I had committed no where as such. Had put my resignation as per company policy.
Also had mailing conversation with HR team but now they are not coming for face to face discussion.
During the telephonic conversation when I ask them to show any proof where I had committed to stay till the completion of project, the only answer was that a verbal commitment was made which I also don’t know when?
Had also tried to approach the Unit head of the company he is also not helping in this context.
Please suggest what should I do?
I need a clean Experience Letter with no negative statement mentioned for smooth career flow.
Hi all,I have joined in a company [50 employees] as a fresher, at that time they told that you got selected and you will have service bond of 1 year without sending any mail confirmation they ask me to join, when I am asking for offer letter they told you directly come and join then we will provide all those things after a week.After joining a job if I ask for offer letter they just postponed it by asking us to come tomorrow.They got sign for bond and without giving its copy to us.But now If I asks for reliving they are telling that “who told that you signed for 1 year bond , we put 2 years of bond for you”,Not only me all employees in my company facing the same problem,Is there any way for us to break the bond of 2 years[said by management,1 year completed] ?
Bond or service agreement of these form is illegal, irrespective of the period. The Supreme Court has stated that an employer can at no point of time debar its employees to join another company (even a competitor) for his better future. Non-issuance of offer/ appointment letter and bond related to bonded labour are illegal and amounts to unfair labour practice.

Sir/Madam,
I have joined Govt. service 9/7/2014 as group A officer. Probation period: 2Yrs. Office has a culture of unusual delay in confirmation of service. Now there are talks that ministry is planning to convert office to autonomous body. In this light, what are my rights/fate as a probationer as on date or till 9/7/16, to be retained in government service on par with permanent employees.This move by the ministry comes as a result of heavy under performance of the organization in terms of low returns on revenue. In this context new comers or probationers who were not at all connected with the office for the time past over which the office’s performance is being judged, are to be held responsible or victimised. Moreover, how genuine is it that those responsible completely/partially are provided with an option to choose between autonomous or government, while probationers are left as scapegoats to be slaughtered….
Please advise
Kind Regards
Dr. Santhosh Kumar
All the suggestions are really nice.
I work for a Pvt Ltd company in Mumbai, whose registered office is in MP.
Employees of the organization have not been paid salaries for 4-5 months. Every month the HR and management keep saying in a few days salaries will be released… but the same has not happened so far.
Some employees have not been able to pay their utility bills, have had electricity supply to their home cut off, home telephone lines have been cut, one employee’s wife has gone to her native place saying when you get you salary i will come back… some employees come walking from the nearest station to the office and many other grievances.
In your expert opinion, what should we do?

Sir , I requested you to help by giving suggesstion. But no reply. Please help me sir. K.Paripurna.
Respected sir, After 35 years of my service as a P.G.T I was retired from a reputed school on March 2014. They paid me gratuity 3.5 lakhs instead of 8.33 lakhs ( according to gratuity act I am eligible for that). Hence I filed the case in labor court. After the hearings judge has reserved case for judgement on October 2014. But till today judge has not pronounced the judgement. According to the Supreme Court guidelines with in maximum of three months judge should give judgement. But nothing was done. Twice personally I requested,and twice our lawyer requested for early judgement but nothing was done. Now what should I do? To whom should I request for the early judgement? Please guide me in this regard. Thank you in advance
Please help me by guiding in this case
Hello Sir ,
I need your quick advice on my issue.
In my current company, according to the policy, employees who have worked from Jan-Dec and are still part of the company in April are eligible to get the variable pay.
However the variable pay is given only in April in the next year so if the employee has worked from January – December but is not available in the month of April next year does not get the variable pay.
As per my offer letter my variable pay is almost Rs. 50000 per anum. I have resigned on 8th december,2014 and my last working day is 8th March 2015. Due to this policy, I won’t be getting my variable pay.
Could you please suggest how to go about this issue? and where to file complain if needed.
Regards

Currently I am working with one of big MNC,I joined 4 months back.
Prior to joining I submitted soft copies of all my educational certificates as it is to my current employer(Soft copies Original certificates as it is).
At the time of joining i submitted my Xerox copies of all my educational certificates.
But in past I edited my soft copy of one of mark sheet, just as time pass.
But now i am afraiding that by mistake i submitted Xerox copy of that edited soft copies to my current employer
at the time of joining (not sure submitted Xerox copies are edited or as it is but i submitted soft copies of educational certificates as it is).
I have not tempered my original mark sheet that is still in normal form so this is not forgery.
My all educational documents are attested by notary but i am sure notary did not check my origionals.
Moreover my all original soft copies are with employer there is no intention of mine to cheat for gaining employment.
Additionally I do not have any profit because of this I got employment on the basis of my experience and qualification.mpered
if xerox copy found tempered it is just mistake because origionals are with my current employer.
Is there any criminal action against this.
Is there any crime from my side.
Is this will be prcecuted under penal act IPC 463 with punishment.
Please suggest on this.
Moreover what shall i do for avoiding any risk, resignation is good option for this.

Hi,
Here is the story and my query:
My wife works for a MNC Call center. Recently she went through an Internal Job Posting process and was successful. She got an email stating that she is successful and has been selected as a coach. Now, her existing business does not want to relieve her as she is the best performer in that business and are asking for 2 months, the new business where she has been selected is not willing to wait for 2 months and is seeking to recruit someone else.
My question is, since she has already been selected as a coach, due to internal squabbling if she is not able to take up this position, do we have a case to go legal against the company? She has worked really hard to get to this position and now she can see it just slipping away. What legal options do we have as per labour laws?
Dear Learned Gentlemen: I am a Medical Transcriptionist who worked for an MNC in Bangalore for a period of nearly 10 years. During July and August 2012, there were very less number of jobs and I could not meet my monthly targets. The company did not pay my salaries for those 2 months giving the reason of nonperformance although it is the responsibility of the company to provide jobs. Hence, I submitted my resignation for my job on 25/8/2012 and my superiors called me for a discussion and convinced me to continue with the job and stated that the salary issue will be considered sympathetically and the salary will be paid after getting the approval from the Regional Office in Mumbai. Hence, I withdrew my resignation. Later, they did not pay the salary stating that the Regional Office did not approve the salary request, and I again submitted my resignation on 25/9/2012. I was not paid the Statutory Bonus for 5 years (2008 to 2012). My gross salary was Rs.13,000/= PM and Basic+DA was Rs.7200/= PM. Also, the company was paying very less basic pay thereby compromising the social security of the employees by paying very lesser contributions for PF, ESI, and Gratuity. The company also did not hike the basic pay and did not give periodic increments in the salaries all these years in spite of the cost of living going up with each passing day. I approached the Labour commissioner, Bangalore, for the issues of nonpayment of 2 months’ salary, statutory bonus for 6 years, and lesser basic pay and other allowances in accordance with the cost of living prevailed throughout my service of almost 10 years. The Labor commisioner sent a notice to the company and we attended about 3 hearings. The Company was adamant to maintain that they have paid whatever is due to me and are not entitled to pay anything. In the last hearing, the Labour Commissioner also expressed the limitation of his powers and advised me to take the matter to the Labour Court. Now, my sincere request to you is to please advise the future course of action to be taken by me. I do not know how long the case might drag and the possible fee that an advocate might charge. Thanking you in advance, in anticipation of your valuable advice, Regards, T.R. Nagesh

Hence, I submitted my resignation for my job on 25/8/2012 and my superiors called me for a discussion and convinced me to continue with the job and stated that the salary issue will be considered sympathetically and the salary will be paid after getting the approval from the Regional Office in Mumbai. Hence, I withdrew my resignation. Later, they did not pay the salary stating that the Regional Office did not approve the salary request, and I again submitted my resignation on 25/9/2012.
I was not paid the Statutory Bonus for 5 years (2008 to 2012). My gross salary was Rs.13,000/= PM and Basic+DA was Rs.7200/= PM.
Also, the company was paying very less basic pay thereby compromising the social security of the employees by paying very lesser contributions for PF, ESI, and Gratuity.
The company also did not hike the basic pay and did not give periodic increments in the salaries all these years in spite of the cost of living going up with each passing day.
I approached the Labour commissioner, Bangalore, for the issues of nonpayment of 2 months’ salary, statutory bonus for 6 years, and lesser basic pay and other allowances in accordance with the cost of living prevailed throughout my service of almost 10 years. The Labor commisioner sent a notice to the company and we attended about 3 hearings. The Company was adamant to maintain that they have paid whatever is due to me and are not entitled to pay anything. In the last hearing, the Labour Commissioner also expressed the limitation of his powers and advised me to take the matter to the Labour Court. Now, my sincere request to you is to please advise the future course of action to be taken by me. I do not know how long the case might drag and the possible fee that an advocate might charge.
Thanking you in advance, in anticipation of your valuable advice,

Dear Sirs,
I have been working for an MNC for the last almost 10 years and they paid the Statutory bonus for only 1 or 2 years when the law was implemented and then stopped payment of the Statutory Bonus. They manipulated the allowance headings in the salary slip by changing the name of a productivity-linked allowance which is paid on a monthly basis to BONUS and stopped paying the Statutory bonus. Now, I would like to know if I can take legal support to get back my bonus. Also, please advise if I can go to a labor court after resigning and relieved from the job or should I approach the court while in service only.
Thanks n Regards,

Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings !
My query is that I got admission in a Government central university for pursuing PG course(mba). University states that it will not allowed to take up a job during a course duration and other thing is that it is submitting the degree and marksheets of my graduate course. I am expected to get a government job this year as I have qualified many job competitive exams. My interviews are scheduled for job in next two or three months.
My question is that I am able to give my job interviews?
is it my right or not to take part in recruitment exams while pursuing a course or not?
will university has a right to submit the documents and degree/marksheets of a certificate and prohibit me from giving interviews?

He is a “Machinist” by profession, he was sanctioned 6 months Hurt Leave. Now he want to claim Workmen Compensation for the 20% disability @ Rs.1,90,000/- nearly. Management is refuse to pay full amount, stating individual has already drawn Rs.90,000/- in the form of Hurt Leave. Hence, balance Rs.1,00,00 will be paid to the individual.
Is it genuine, in this case ?
Can you Please give me your valuable suggestions for receiving full amount.
Thank you.

hi,
I am working in software company from last 7 months. they have not given me any joining letter and i have not signed any bond. still i have given them 20 days notice before leaving job. now day are not giving me salary certificate and experience certificate. They are saying you have to work for 1 year then we will give you those certificate what should I do?
I joined a Company A in June 2011 which had the following clause in the appointment letter:
“During and after the period of your employment with the company, you shall not join client companies, competitors or consulting firms in the same industry for a period of 2 years after leaving, without management’s specific written permission. The management shall be entitled to seek such injunctive relief from courts, apart from damages”
There is a separate clause in the same letter which states:
“You will be on probation for a period of 12 months from your date of joining. Your services will be confirmed on successful completion of your probationary period”
I quit the company in May 2011 before completion of the probationary period & joined Company B, which is a competitor. I have received the experience certificate & relieving letter from Company A. However, I had not told them I’m joining Company B, which they have come to know now, and are upset about it.
My queries:
1) Can company A take me to court on the non-compete clause.
2) I’ve head the Section 27 of the Contracts act does not allow that – if still I get a legal notice from Company A, what should I do?
3) Since I quit within the probation period before I became a confirmed employee, does this clause apply at all?

Subject: Concession & Incentives sanctioned by State
Governments to Territorial Army personnel.
Sir,
This refers to Ministry of Defense letter No.47560/GS/TA/-3(a)/306-B/D(GS-VI) dated 19th February 1985 and letter of even number dated 8th September 1992 on the incentives by State Governments to Territorial Army personnel.
2. Most State Governments have instituted some cash awards/grants for the winners of Territorial Army decorations/Medals. However, these awards were instituted a long time back and have been rendered insignificant by inflation. In many States, this reward is limited to Rs.2500/1500 only. It is requested that this may be revised to a minimum of Rs.5000/- for TA decorations and Rs.3000/- for TA medals. Some State Governments have already made the revision.
3 Government of India had also recommended that the facilities listed below may be considered for Territorial Army personnel. These incentives were listed by a committee which was set up to go into the Territorial Army and are already being given by most State Governments :-
(a ) Grant of 01 increment for every 03 years Territorial Army service, as is being given by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
(b) Counting of Territorial Army embodied service for purposes of seniority, promotion and other considerations to those entering civil services.
(c) Exemption of Road tax on vehicles owned by Territorial Army personnel as is being given by west Bengal Government.

New Delhi, Dated: 5th April , 2010 .
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Applicability of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 to persons re-employed in Government Service after retirement and whose pay is debitable to Civil Estimates.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s O.M. No. 3/13/2008-Estt. (Pay II) dated 11`” November, 2008 on the above-mentioned subject. Certain references have been received seeking clarification regarding the manner of fixation of pay of retired Defence Forces personnel/officers re-employed in Central Government Civilian posts, after the implementation of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. This has been considered in consultation with Department of Expenditure. The pay fixation of re-employed pensioners on re-employment in Central Government, including that of Defence Forces personnel/officers, is being done in accordance with CCS (fixation of pay of re-employed pensioners) Orders, 1986, issued vide this Department’s O.M. No. 3/1/85-Estt. (Pay II) dated 31St July, 1986 (as revised from time to time).
2. After the introduction of the system of running pay bands and grade pays, it has been decided to amend the relevant provisions of CCS (fixation of pay of re-employed pensioners) Orders, 1986 in the manner indicated below: –
Existing provision Proposed revised provision
Para 4(a): Re-employed pensioners shall be allowed to draw pay only in the prescribed scales of pay of the posts inwhich they are re-employed. No protection of the scales of pay of the posts held by them prior to retirement shall be given. Para 4(a): Re-employed pensioners shall be allowed to draw pay only in the prescribed pay scale/pay structure of the post in which they are re-employed. No protection of the scales of pay/pay structure of the post held by them prior to retirement shall be given., Note: Under the provisions of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, revised pay structure comprises the grade pay attached to the post and the applicable pay band.
Para 4(b)(i): In all cases where the pension is fully ignored, the initial pay on re-employment shall be fixed at the minimum of the scale of pay of the reemployed post. Para 4(b)(i): In all cases where the pension is fully ignored, the initial pay on re-employment shall be fixed as per entry pay in the revised pay structure of the reemployed post applicable in the case of direct recruits appointed on or after 1.1.2006 as notified vide Section II, Part A of First Schedule to CCS (RP) Rules, 2008.
Para 4(b)(ii): In cases where the entire pension and pensionary benefits are not ignored for pay fixation, the initial pay on re-employment shall be fixed at the same stage as the last pay drawn before retirement. If there is no such stage in the re-employed post, the pay shall be fixed at the stage next above that pay. If the maximum of the pay scale in which a pensioner is re-employed is less than the last pay drawn by him before retirement, his initial pay shall be fixed at the maximum of the scale of pay of the re-employed post. Similarly, if the minimum of the scale of pay in which a pensioner is re-employed is more than the last pay drawn by him before retirement, his initial pay shall be fixed at the minimum of the scale of pay of the re-employed post. However, in all these cases, the non-ignorable part of the pension shall be reduced from the pay so fixed. Para 4(b)(ii): In cases where the entire pension and pensionary benefits are not ignored for pay fixation, the initial basic pay on re-employment shall be fixed at the same stage as the last basic pay drawn before retirement. However, he shall be granted the grade pay of the re-employed post. The maximum basic pay cannot exceed the grade pay of the re-employed post plus pay in the pay band of Rs.67000 i.e. the maximum of the pay band PB-4. In all these cases, the non-ignorable part of the pension shall be reduced from the pay so fixed. IllustrationA Colonel who retired with basic pay of Rs.61700 (grade pay Rs.8700; pay in the pay band Rs.53000) is re-employed as a Deputy Secretary in an organization with grade pay of Rs.7600. In this case, on re-employment, his basic pay will continue to be Rs.61700. However, his grade pay on re-employment will be Rs.7600 and the pay in the pay band Rs.54100. Thereafter, the non-ignorable part of the pension will be reduced from the pay so fixed.Note: In the revised pay structure, basic pay is pay in the pay band plus the grade pay attached to the post.
Para 4(c): The re-employed pensioner will, in addition to pay as fixed under Para (b) above shall be permitted to draw separately any pension sanctioned to him and to retain any other form of retirement benefits. Para 4(c): No change.
Para 4(d): In the case of persons retiring before attaining the age of 55 years and who are re-employed, pension (including PEG and other forms of retirement benefits) shall be ignored for initial pay fixation in the following extent:- (i) In the case of ex-servicemen who held posts below Commissioned Officer rank in the Defence Forces and in the case of civilians who held posts below Group ‘A’ posts at the time of their retirement, the entire pension and pension equivalent of retirement benefits shall be ignored.(ii) In the case of service officers belonging to the Defence Forces and Civiliar pensioners who held Group ‘A’ posts at the time of their retirement, the first Rs.5001-* of the pension and pension equivalent retirement benefits shall be ignored. (*Already revised to Rs. 40001- vide O.M. No. 311312008-Estt. (Pay II) dated 11th November, 2008) Para 4(d): In the case of persons retiring before attaining the age of 55 years and who are re-employed, pension (including PEG and other forms of retirement benefits) shall be ignored for initial pay fixation in the following extent:-(i) No change. (ii) In the case of Commissioned Service officers belonging to the Defence Forces and Civilian pensioners who held Group ‘A’ posts at the time of their retirement, the first Rs.40001- of the pension and pension equivalent retirement benefits shall be ignored.
3. Apart from the above, it is also clarified as under: –
(i) Drawal of increments: Once the initial pay of the re-employed pensioner has been fixed in the manner indicated above, he will be allowed to draw normal increments as per the provisions of Rule 9 and 10 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008.
(ii) Allowances: The drawal of various allowances and other benefits in the revised pay structure shall be regulated with reference to the grade pay of the re-employed post or the basic pay, as the case may be.
(iii) Treatment of Military Service Pay (MSP): MSP is granted to Defence Forces officers/personnel while they are serving in the Defence Forces. Accordingly, on their re-employment in civilian organizations, including secret organizations under the Cabinet Secretariat umbrella, the question of grant of MSP to such officers/personnel does not arise. However, the benefit of MSP given to all retired Defence Forces officers/personnel by reckoning it at the time of calculation of their pension (notionally in the case of pre-1.1.2006 pensioners) should not be withdrawn. Accordingly, while the pension of such re-employed pensioners will include the element of MSP. they will not be granted MSP while working in civilian organizations.
(iv) Fixation of pay of personnel/officers re-employed prior to 1.1.2006 and who were in employment as on 1.1.2006: In the case of personnel/officers who were re-employed before 1.1.2006 and who were working in the Central Government organizations on re-employment basis as on 1.1.2006, their pay will be fixed in accordance with the provisions of DOPT O.M. No.3/13/2008-Estt.(Pay II) dated 11.11.2008. This O.M. stipulates that re-employed persons who become eligible to elect revised pay structure shall exercise option in the manner laid down in Rule 6 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008 and their pay shall be fixed in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008. In this context, it is clarified that in accordance with the provisions of Rule 7 of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008, Department of Expenditure issued fitment tables corresponding to each pre-revised pay scale vide O.M. No.1/1/2008-IC dated 30.8.2008. In the case of those personnel/officers as well, who were re-employed before 1.1.2006 and who were working in the civilian organizations on re-employment basis as on 1.1.2006, their pay will be fixed with reference to the fitment table of the pre-revised civilian pay scale in which they were re-employed and corresponding to the stage in the pre-revised pay scale as on 1.1.2006.
(v) Fixation of pay of personnel/officers who retired prior to 1.1.2006 and who have been re-employed after 1.1.2006: In the case of personnel/officers who had retired prior to 1.1.2006 and who have been re-employed after 1.1.2006, their pay on re-employment will be fixed by notionally arriving at their revised basic pay at the time of retirement as if they had retired under the revised pay structure. This will be done with reference to the fitment table of the Defence Service Rank/Civilian service post (as the case may be) from which they had retired and the stage of basic pay at the time of their retirement. Their basic pay on re-employment will be fixed at the same stage as the notional last basic pay before retirement so arrived at. However, they shall be granted the grade pay of the re-employed post. The maximum basic pay cannot exceed the grade pay of the re-employed post plus pay in the pay band of Rs.67000 i.e. the maximum of the pay band PB-4. In all these cases, the non-ignorable part of the pension shall be reduced from the pay so fixed.
4. The existing instructions on the subject shall be treated as amended to this extent.
5. In so far as the persons serving in the Indian Audit & Accounts Department are concerned, these orders are being issued after consultation with the Comptroller & Auditor General of India.

Hello Everybody, I am an EX-Serviceman retired from Indian Air Force after 22 years of regular combatant service (in the rank Junior Warrant Officer (JWO) . I am a pensioner and going to join Central Board of Excise and Customes as Tax Asst shortly.
While in Air Force I was drawing a grade pay of Rs. 4200(Basic Pay in Band was 11510). My query is regarding pay protection, am I antitled for protection in the new job? As tax asst my basic will be much lower (around Rs. 7000 only) and grade pay will be Rs. 2400. If I am entitled for pay protection then what about my gratuity etc. am I supposed to returned it? if yes am I entitled for gratuity again at the end of my new job (tax asst) at that time whether my length of service in Air Force will be counted for claculating gratuity?. PLEASE CLARIFY AND GUIDE ME……..
I think you should join as Inspector and not as Tax Assistant, since you retired as JWO an SNCO. Please contact me on e-mailaddress. I am retired ex-sgt and now retiring ex-supdt. of C. Ex. M-III Commissionerate in Oct, 2012.
Thank you

Hi ,
I am working for a MNC and its notice period is 30 days . I have to join my new employer at USA on Jan 16 . My current employer offer letter Notice Of Termination clause says –
a) Termination of employment by either party shall be one month’s notice in writing or payment in lieu of notice. Such notice may not be offset by unused leave.
b) If your actions at any time constitute a serious breach of Oracle’s standards of behaviour, Oracle may end this contract and terminate your employment immediately.
c) This appointment letter is issued on the understanding that all the information given by you in the application / employee data form / during the interview or data provided prior to and / or at the time of joining is true. If it is found at any time that the information given by you is not correct or true or you have knowingly suppressed any information, the company will have the right to revoke the offer/terminate your appointment with us any time without any compensation.
I asked my current employer for buyout but they are saying the buyout option is open with consent of your manager , however this is not mentioned in the “Notice Of Termination” clause .
Are they doing legally right ?
If not please suggest me what can i do in this case ?
Thanks
Anil
Hey Anil, Buyout is optional and it is on the discretion of the management whether they accept it not. Try understand the reason of serving notice period (It require to replace you). If there is no material impact in absence (of you) to the organization. Try them to convince for buyout. If you are associated with any important project that you can only handle for the organization; the said organization will not let you go before serving the notice period. If it is not there you can go for buyout. You know your condition better.
Respected admins and others,
Its been a few month i have joined an organization. I am totally uncomfortable in the work environment there and i have been assigned lot of works which is even not what i was appointed for or told about during the interview.
I havent signed the appointment letter till now,all i have signed is a joining form asking about my qualification or address.
So,what i wanted to know is, if i could give a resigning letter with immediate effect as nothing regarding the notice period has been communicated to me neither written or verbally….plz make me aware about the legal aspects regarding this issue……thank u
My Employer sent an email informing us about increase in notice period agreement. They increased notice period from 1 month to 3. They also changed clause of not accepting salary in lieu of shortfall of notice period.
Although no one signed any agreement, employer is now forcing employees to serve 3 months and not accepting compensation as well.
1> Can employee do something to leave by serving 1 month notice period.
2> Can employer not accept resignation?
3> Employee pleaded on health ground to be released early
4>Can employee complain to labor comissioner

Also they haven’t given any kind of training, instead I was working at client site as a consultant during that period .
Now few days back they have sent notice from lawyer through post & courier, but couldn’t receive it as I was out of city.

Can we approach courts via PIL to reduce working hours of software & BPO companies from 9 or 9,5 hrs to 8 hrs. Working long hours adversely affects family in the case of both men and women. also they feel sick and tired as the saying goes – all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I am seriously considering doing something about this, Let me know how many of you are in support of my view
You are thinking to change the entire system; you have to be a great legislature.
This question relates to raising of employment dispute. A senior level executive worked as Finance Head & Company Secretary in Tamil Nadu in a manufacturing industry having its Accounts & Administrative Department within the Factory Premises in private sector public limited company. The employee was performing only accounting and secretarial function and in no way connected with production or factory related work. The appeal has to be made in which forum. Is he covered by Sec. 2 (12) of TN Shops & Establishment Act or Factories Act. Based on your advice which is the right forum for filing an appeal against the punishment awarded by the employer. Whether the Token No. (Employee No.) allotted during his service has any bearing on the issue.

Pay for days & Hospital Expenses
One employee of our company’s (pvt. LTD. with more than 65 employees) who is on a salary above than Rs. 23000 / gross plus PF etc and who joined recently in June 11 met accident in July on date 14/7/11. He was going to Ghaziabad due to official work but unfortunately met accident short distance to company around 3.45 Pm. He informed timely to HR department and his Boss.
Later on HR dept marked his half day on 14th July & full day leave on 15th July Friday. Saturday (16 July) & Sunday (17 July) were offdays. And on Monday (18th July ) he resumed duty.
His injuries were not as such for hospitalization but he had some expenses done which was nominal around Rs 5000.
So suggest whether in this case the Company should or bound to reimburse the Expenses incurred by him and also pay him those unintended leaves (14/7/11 half day & 15/7/11 absent) due to accident?
PS: Condition is that this employee doesn’t falls under worker category (wages) and also not under ESI category and since he joined recently so was not covered under Mediclaim Insurance as well as Accidental Coverage Insurance Policy of Company which mostly is done after 2 months of employment for upto 2 lakhs of hospital claim upon 24 hrs admission and that employee (who doesn’t have ESI) is again given Life insurance after 6 months of employment once he gets confirmed to his position (upon completion of probation).
There is no written policy till date and as per practice in few cases we gave some amount to few employees (like just the 1st time bandage charges etc) and in other cases we didn’t bear any thing and also we didn’t paid the leaves taken out of this problem (as we deducted the leaves from his Paid Leave quota).
I had join a autonomous govt body office in 1st march 2008.

but on the 3rd year ending the authority did not corporate with my service and they terminated my service without any reason.

The notice period in my company is 3 months but i need a release in 1 month due to personal obligations. Is there anything that i can do if the organization is not willing to release me?
I am working in central govt. office in last two years on muster roll, but i have no what the benifit of muster roll & can i permanent in this situation plz…..tell me your sugesstion
I have a doubt. Can a company need not pay PF and ESI for the trainees / apprentices who are not covered under the Apprenticeship Act.

sir i have left my job on 31.3.2011. iworked in pvt. ltd.firm for 16 yrs whether i can ask for gratuity i left job i got salary 15000.net what will be gratuity amount.
Dear Sir,
Recently my friend has joined a company in bangalore, this company has made her to sign acceptance letter and an agreement for four years with no salary for first year and salary will be fixed for second year. The agreement had different clauses like if the employee wish to terminate from the company then he/she has to pay 2Lakh rupees and the signature was taken from both the empolyee and her father. She was forced to do all this on a single day without giving her much time to think on agreement or on the possible problems in future.
After spending two weeks in the company, my friend has felt that its not safe risking four years with the company since they failed to delivery what they have promised in the first incident itself. they have initially said in interview that they will pay 10k Salary from second year for which they will give written proof, after joining and signing agreement they have sent a mail stating 5k will be given on second year onwards, this has made my friend to think that this company is not trust worthy. now she wants to quit after just two weeks of joining and no training or work was assgined to her in this two weeks, they are torchering her to pay 2lakh rupees as per agreement and more over her marriage is fixed now and she is unable to say this is home either.
She is struggling to handle this and not in position to pay 2lakh rupees. please help my friend with this regard. if required i can mail the complete agreement details she has signed.
Thanks,
Manjunath.K
Mr.Manjunath,
Could you please forward me a copy of the Agreement and all other communications shared by your fried with the company? I ‘ll try to help you out with the situation.
PTA teachers in UTTARAKHAND got appointment in well planned manner. Showing thumbs to educated youths of State
FIRST_Secretary of Education, Uttarakhand Govt.issued an Govt. order no.54/xxiv-4/2009 Dated :03Feb.2009 for Regularizing to PTA teachers. In G.O. he directed to subordinate officials that “SUPREM COURT’s Ruling Dated.10-04-2006” in writ petition no.3595-3692/1999 of UmaDevi &others Vs State of Karnataka must be followed in appointing teachers by PTA teachers.

You have to maintain Attendance Register for production before statutory authorities.However , since Govt. authorities are in the meanwhile accepting computerised documents, you can take print out of the attendance data on daily basis and file the same in a loose leaf folder for statutory purposes.
Sir, one of my friend was working in a Company in Bangalore. Since, he could not bear the torture from the Company he resigned by submitting the resignation last month.
Sir, as per the Appointment Letter received by him there should be one month notice period or salary in lieu thereof. Sir, what he has done is after submitting the resignation letter he has applied leave for one month on medical grounds. By this what he has assumed is by this one month leave he will be serving one month notice period.
Sir, two days back he has received one show cause notice from the Company on its letterhead as Show Cause notice for long absence. Sir, in that notice they have mentioned there has a happen a misconduct, regular absenteeism, indiscipline and criminal breach of trust by your long absence by not producing any medical certificates. So, now we will go as per legal and claim all the lossess which has happened to Company due to your absence.
Sir, after receiving his resignation letter they have mailed as Acceptance of Resignation and in that mail they have written you have to complete your job on immediate basis and you will be relieved after completion of notice period.
Sir, in the Appointment Letter there is also one more clause that what ever the misconduct or breach of employment happens by the Employee, the Employer will be liable to terminate him without any notice whatsoever.
Sir, now he is replying to that notice by giving the above clause as reference and by describing that now he is ready to pay one month notice period also.
Sir, my doubt is after replying to this notice, are there any chances for the Company to go any legally against him. Sir, he was working as an Accounts Assistant and he was not handling any cash and bank transactions. His job was only to process the Branch claims after receiving the claims in hard copies.
Sir, he was in probation period.
Sir, eagerly waiting for your reply.
Mr. Raju in a standard service contract there is always clauses stating modalities for exit/ termination of service like the ones you are mentioning now. So, your friend has to go through the contract in this case and take the assistance of an experienced local lawyer specialising in service disputes personally along with relevany papers and documents and act s per his advice.
What I gather from the facts stated in your query, the contract in question is heavily weighed in favour of the Employer and your friend is apprehending foul games on the other side whereby he won’t be relieved from his job officially in time so as to enable him to jon the new place of posting as per schedule .
Before taking any hasty step in this regard first arrange the following documents:
1) Authenticated copy of Service contract or letter of Engagement containing terms & condition prescribed.
2) Scope of work and job responsibilities.
3) copy of Resignation letter.
4)Copy of all correspondences between the Employer & Employee.
5) Service Rules if any adopted by the organisation.
6)List of files or jobs handled during the incumbacy with the Employer and incomplete assignments if any.
7) List of outstanding advance if any as well as items supplied by the Employers for carrying on official duties e.g. Laptop, Cell Phones, Uniform, vehicles etc. which are to be surrendered at the time of resignation/ termination from service.
After arranging the following papers and documents , You can have a thorough study of the same for going ahead in your objective and in case of any complicacy consult the local advocate as suggested .

I consulted with some of my senior colleagues there & they said its just a formality,you can leave whenever you want after project is completed.
The kind of work i was given being an electronic engineer was:-
1.lifting of boxes & delivering to 3 kms of area by foot,
2.staying at site from morning 9 to 9.30 in night
3working on public holidays most of the times
4.working on saturdays & sometimes working on sundays aswell(without extra pay)
5.working in the most adverse conditions like dust,pollution,no electricity on site.
6.using own conveyance to deliver the material on site.
All these activities were very frustating & depresssing as well & i had not option to resign after completting my 14 months.In this tenure the company sent me many appreciating mails also for hardwork, but now after resigning they are not ready to give me my reliving letter & also the amount which belongs to me saying that i need to pay them training amount back as mentioned in Bond.
Please help as i am very depressed after seeig there response.
i serving in public sector. we have accpeted six pay commission on bages of gujret govement. gujrat goverment employees expected increement date onece in a year i.e. 1st july of every year.. those increement date in prerevised scale 1st januaary are got increment in pre revised scale and after thier new fixation made. then they got increment 1st july 2006.in our orinigation fixation made as per state goverment line but no change inpolicy in revised pay structureofof for increement.the existing practice for drawal of increement will continue.i.e. we not accpeted increement date onces in a year.our increement date is january,feb,march,april ,etc.my increement date is 1 st januay my fixation made as above, got increement in pprerevised scale and then my new fixation made. but i not got increement in new scale i. e. 3% of basic.those empolees their increement date is other than january got increement in new scale.i hav not got increement in new scale for the year 2006.legally can i got increemet in new scale 1st january 2006?
Your post is not very clear.
Your pay-fixation was effective 01-01-2006 so you will get next increment w.e.f. 01-01-2007.
In case of other organisation, please check-up that whether their pay-fixation was also w.e.f. 01-01-2006 and they got increment on 01-07-2006 or what?
If such a thing has happened, you have to negotiate with your organisation to accept the same principle for increment as has been done by other state government employees.
Notice period salary not paid.
I was a confirmed employee with a software co “R”, I’d worked tirelessly for more than 2 years for ‘R’. One fine day, ‘R’ decided to sack me,my manager sent a mail stating that the management is unhappy with my service. They want to reevaluate my work and have put me in plan called ‘Performance improvement plan’ as per the plan u will have to achieve a series of tasks and u will evaluated after four weeks. After 4 weeks If ‘R’ is not satisfied with my work they will terminate my service immediately.
But the plan doesn’t mention of any word named ‘Notice’ or a sentence stating that “this plan is equivalent to notice period for termination of service”.
The management of “R” gave me difficult and nearly impossible task to achieve and by the end of 4 weeks they terminated my service by stating poor performance. At the time of leaving my service the management verbally promised me to give 6 weeks notice period salary from the day of termination of service. The full and final settlement received from them doesn’t mention about the notice period salary, and only mentioned salary up-to the last working day. More than 2 months have passed I’ve tried to talk to them but no avail and the company is refusing to give notice period salary.
My original copy of the Appointment letter clearly states that “Your employment with us may be terminated by giving 6 weeks notice period on either side, or in payment of salary in lieu thereof. Request your advise.
This is clear breach of contract on the part of the company. You have legal remedies available by going to court. The “Performance Improvement Plant” cannot be construed as Notice Period.
You have a solid case by approaching courts.

Hello
Kindly give me with the labour Laws for employment in India,
I have been working with a Pvt Ltd Software firm from April ’08 to October ’09 and had resigned due to situations created by the employer regarding my committed allowance and stay for their operations for their Mumbai office.
I had not been given the promised allowances and basic stay facilities which made me take a decision to resign. Now have been following up for the past 10 months with the HR and the management on the F&F settlement along with the PF.
They are only giving me lame reason and are not looking into the matter seriously. Kindly guide me on how do a file a legal law suite against the firm and take necessary actions to get my F&F settlement cleared along with my PF.
The total outstanding amount with my Oct ’09 month salary is about 25000 INR. PF would be about 40000 INR.
Guidance required.
depend on somebodey. take the help of an advocate.
SIR,
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WORKER COMPONSATION INSURANCE IN THIS CASE A WORKER WHO WAS MET WITH ACCIDENT & HE WAS DIED WHILE HE WAS RETURNING COMING @ HOME after he is finished his job IN THIS CASE HE WAS ELEGIBLE FOR COMPONSATION
reply
travel from home to work site comes under work. you have a chance. go ahead
I feel you have a tough case. Contrary to what Adv.Ravindran says, the duty starts when the person has reported at the work site and the duty ends when the person has left the work-site. The start and end of duty does not start from home. To my mind, the company is not liable to pay Workmen Compensation if the death has occured when the person has left the work site and company had no control over the incident.
However, if the person was travelling in the company transport, in that case, company is responsible till the person is travelling in the transport.
The notional extension theory for receiving workmen compensation can be applied in your case.
It depends on more information about the facts of the case.Kindly give detais.

hello all,
I want your advise on a legal issue that has come upto me through a real life situation. Here is the question-
A government servant, Mr.X was wrongfully arrested while discharging his official duty, was sent to judicial custody for 40 days. His department extended and financed all the legal help, including lawyer’s fees and bond for bail. The fact that the ministry, under which the department comes, did not suspend Mr. X and also recruited additional solicitor general for his defence, shows that the his department and the ministry consider Mr. X innocent.
Presently Mr.X, who is out on bail after being defended by additional solicitor general himself is facing a problem. The problem is, that though the department expressly considers him innocent, they are unable to decide whether the period spent under judicial custody be treated as period spent on duty or not.
According to me, under the given circumstances the period spent in judicial custody should be treated as period spent on duty and not as extra ordinary leave, as labelling this period as extraordinary leave would be same as taking a punitive action against Mr. X, which he is not liable for. As the fact that he was WRONGFULLY ARRESTED while DISCHARGING HIS OFFICIAL DUTY, and DEFENDED BY ADDITIONAL SOLICITOR GENERAL, and NOT SUSPENDED (as is usually when a government servant is arrested for criminal charges he is suspended), show that he is considered to be innocent by the department, and the department has taken on itself to defend this person.
Please give your legal advise on the same, and if you could back it with case laws or rules and regulations on the same, I would be highly obliged.
well, there is no question of leave. however you may have tyo wait till a final decision is arrived at.
Agreed with Adv.Ravindran. The person is out only on bail. He has not been pronounced “not guilty”. Therefore, till the final judgement comes, he wiull either be treated as absent or on leave. In case he is acquitted by the Court, his absence/leave can be regularised as “duty”.
If you have any earned leave you can adjust the same,otherwise there is no leave under this circmstances. “NO WORK NO PAY . hOWEVER YOU CAN PROCEED AGAINST THE WRONG DOER FOR DAMAGES.

Can you give me some idea about this ?
my company has promised 25% increment effective in May salary onwards
this commitment was verbally and was made in Jan 2010
Now, since I am resigning( and leaving on 31 May), the company is not willing to give that increment
I want to know is there some way reg how i can convince my company to pay me as per their commitment ?
my boss says that no company in the world gives increment when you are serving notice period.
what is your take on this issue ?
PLS HELP
Ankit
Since you leaving the company and there was only an oral agreement about the increment, I feel you cannot claim the increment as a matter of right. It is upto the company to honour its oral commitment.

Dear Sir,
I am Kunal Bhatia working as a software developer at TechMastiff Pvt Ltd, I’ve got salary for the past month, it has already been a month now, Its same for all months, the salary date is not fixed. Sometimes we get salary at 7th or 15th, but this time a entire month has passed but still we are not getting salary. I enquired to Accounts department but they replied they still haven’t got salary. Please advice me
Thanks.
Dear Kunal,
It is not that you don’t have any legal remedy available to you. There are laws which deal with such issues.
The problem with the Indian Judicial System is that though there are laws which cover each and every aspect of Indian life but they are cumbersome and not easy to implement timely.
Any kind of industrial dispute or disagreement can be dealt under Industrial Dispute Act,1947 but it will take a long long time for settlement.
In my view, instead of looking for a legal recourse, you people should negotiate with the management for the problem or atleast the management should be transparent enough to tell you people every month when the salary is going to be paid.
Under the payment of wages Act, the employer has to pay the salary within 5th of everymonth.(If The Wage period is monthly).
You can approach the labour commissioner who is the appropriate authority.The salary wiil be recovered with fine.
I worked with HR consulting Firm in Delhi and Director of the co. relieved me on 24 Dec. 2010 with a clause that we are winding our indian operation. Searched a job for more then 3 months. Before that was working on a HR Outsourcing Project placed by same HR consulting firm. The Same Project Company hired me in month of April 2010 on there own payroll. Now the Director of Placement Firm sent a mail related to breach of contract to me as per appointment letter issued to me while working in placement firm with a Non-Solicitation act which says” You hereby agree that you shall not, during the course of your employment and for the period of 12 months after the termination of your employment, directly or indirectly, for your own account or as an agent, employee, officer, director, consultant, or share holder or equity owner or any other person, recruit, solicit, entice assist or engage in any activity whatsoever that would result in any person then or thereafter employed by the company or appointed as a representative of the company to be solicited for employment.” Now in this case he is asking for Dues as he lost the project with said company which ended the agreement in feb. 2010 and he is asking the business loss from me. Kindly suggest what to do in this case as i am jot aware of anything. What to DO? Pls. suggest me.
I understand your case as follows:-
You were employed by a Company called (A). The company-(A) seconded you to Company-(B). The
company (A) terminated your services in Dec-2009. You looked for job for 3 months and in
April-2010, the company (B) recruited your directly. In the meantime, in Feb-2010, the Company(A)
lost the outsourcing or seconding contract with company (B). However, your appointment with
Company(A) had a clause that during the course of your employment and 12 Months after the
termination of your services with company(A), you cannot engage in any activity including
employment with the Compnay(B).
If thats the case, the action of Company-(A) in sending you the Notice is completely illegal as the
said Clause itself breaches your fundamental right of employment. Dont worry, the action of
Company(A) will not rest in a court of law. Once they have terminated your services in Dec-2009,
they cannot claim anything whatsoever after that.
But since Company(A) has sent you a written notice, it would be advisable if you consult a lawyer
giving him the complete information and take his opinion, though prima-facie, the contention of
company(A) does not hold water even if it was one of the service contract condition since it is
one-sided and Company-(A) cannot prove that it has suffered a business loss with Company-(B)
since you joined Company-(B).

Hi…
Im working in a NGO located at Hyderabad. The management forcing me to work even on sunday’s. Please guide me about legal rights
of an employee in this regard.

The service rules and daily/weekely working hours are clearly defined.
You should first find out under which act your NGO has been registered and the act will then tell the working conditions/ hours.
In any case, all establsihments have to give atleast One weekly off to its employees.
So the attitude of your management is illegal.
Dear friends,
Your expert advice required. I have been working with a reputed domestic airline as cabin crew for three years now and i am still withdrawing the same salary i joined at. Till now i havent
had a single increment. Oue appintment letter says that if the employee wants to separate from the company he or she will have to serve a notice period of three months or three months’
salary. Agreed! But nowhere is it mentioned that while serving notice period the worker would not be paid salary and that collective salary will be paid at the end of the notice period. Thats
exactly what is happening. But noone says anything so they are continuing the trend.
Also the ground department has recently received the much awaited increment wherein inflight has not.
I want to know whether it is right to hold employee’s salary on notice period and pay increment only to one dapartment of the same company.
If it is not can i file a case against my company for exploitation ans discrimination.
Please guide me about the correct procedures.
Payal,
The salary is to be paid on monthly basis, during the Notice Period. It cannot be paid on cumulative basis.
Your information vague and imcomplete as far as Increment portion concerned. For that, your Service-Contract or Employment-notification is ot be perused. If you salary was consolidated stipent for a certain period, then you cannot claim an Increment. But, if your company commited an increment, then its unlawful on their part no to pay it.
Dear Payal,
As per the law no one is entitled to hold back your salary . You have all the rights to file a suit against them . You can even file a money suit against these fellows.

Dear Friends,
I request a clarification from all, on PF. If an employer is covered and registered under PF Act 1952, Can it segregte its employees on the basis of salary of more and less than Rs. 6500/- and accordingly pay contribution for the employees drawing less or up to Rs. 6500/- and exclude employees drawing more than Rs. 6500/- by taking form 11 from these employees.
No. The Employer has to pay PF in respect of all his employees. He cannot make difference on the basis of salary/ designation.
Dear sir,
Irregularities of salaries occur all the time; one person doing the same job making more than another person. Even if we let the administration know, they just listen or tell to fill paperwork all the while making their administrative salary that’s why they don’t care.
Company engaging an employee on a contract basis is another matter entirely, and I’ll leave it to another to answer your question.

Dear Sir,
My wife is a JBT Teacher in CBSE Affiliated School and she is getting salary as per 4th pay commission. Now you see 6th pay commission is in pipeline but the governing body of the school is not in a mood to implement 5th pay commission.
The teacher to student’s ratio and numerous anomalies are there. The inspection body from CBSE usually come and goes to complete their formalities.
If any teacher raises his/her voice against irregularities of salary. The School Management makes his/her condition pathetic and force to leave the job.
Due to good links of Management in Government nobody comes forward.
Is there any way to take the matter to conclusion?

Dear Sir,
What if company engages employees on contract basis and on expiry of that gives ongoing contract without mentioning any specified period. Please advice.
Thanks
Check with your employer that the period of contract has not been missed by mistake. If that is the case, the contract can be amended.
The second thing is may be the company does not want to commit a time-period for the employment in writing and wants to reserve the right of termination of contract to itself.
In such a case, the company will have to give a reasonable time to revoke the contract, as per Indian Contracts Act.

Is it legal to employ a person on daily wages for a period of 29 days in a month and then re-employ. The cycle is then followed for many years.
I know of a Govt organisation which is following the above approach employing several thousand casual employees in approx 30 different establishments. Many have have been serving for over 20 yrs. They are paid around 4000/- per month and no other benifits. There is no union.
Dear Mohan,
You should approach the Astt.Labour Commissioner of the area for an inverstigation if the company is fluting Contract Labour Act,1971 in the guise of daily wages.

In cases of genuine winding up, the employees right is only to receiive closure compensation as contemplated under the ID Act.If he settlement is
is more advantageous,you can better to receive the same.
It will be construed as hostile discrimination
there is no punishment for the wrongs, bias, and negligency committed by the administrative authority so there is all chance to do wrongs with the employee against the law personally or otherwise and in the same manner charge sheet can be issued against one leaving six other employees. However, this is against the law of land blatantly. So please do not take panga with the officers as they are not punished for their wrongs if they commit any offence or crime against you.
can an employee be dismissed from service if an unknown person comes in his office without any lawful authority and without showing his identity and the intruder is beaten up by the employee for his misconduct and misbehaviour
As an employee, your are supposed to maintain a decent decorum within the premises of your employer.
Your beating of a person within the premises of your employer is contrary to law and contrary to your terms of your service.
Therefore, you may be dismissed from your service ,if the employer so wishes. on disciplinary grounds.
in preliminary enquiry if the investigation points only a single person you can issue charge sheet on one persons leaving teh six others
can one person be chargesheeted if a complaint is made collectively with more then seven workers.
