SSo my sister works for a well known mnc. One day she went to office thinking it was a normal day, after she sits down to work she couldn’t login into her computer. All her other team members experienced the same. In a matter of minutes their manager had come and informed them that the process they were working in has been removed from the company hence they don’t have a job now. They were asked to leave immediately and said the final settlement along woth the relieving letter will be sent within 45 days.
It’s been 2 months since this happend and now when she contacts them they are asking her to pay 10k for the final settlement. My sister owes nothing to them, she never took any advance and infact she has paid leaves left that she can encash in her final settlement. She even has an official letter they sent demanding 10k without any explanation as to WHY! When she contacts the HR they tell her to talk to her manager. And her manager says she has to pay that amount. When she goes to the office to talk to HR they say the HR who was in charge of that process is not available and hence they can’t do anything. Is this even normal???? The exit process is solely dealt by the HR, why would a manager be involved in this?
Now she’s seeking a job elsewhere and without a relieving letter her experience won’t count.
I need help as to what we can do it this situation. Can we file a complaint against the company to any government official? Please let me know what is the process.

FPay the money. Get the relieving letter. Join new job.
Then file complaint with labour comissioner.Let the job be stable and only then file the complaint. Because it may take quite some time for them to process your complaint. There is no use of sitting idle for that time. And in this job market, no reason to start as a fresher.
Also if you have a gap in employment, a lot of recruiters will use that as an excuse to give less salary or not consider you for the opening.-
SWill this work? Like when they pay, and after some months they complain, wouldn’t court tell why they had paid and they may had a understanding and compromise mutually agreed? Im not sure im asking

BI filed an official complaint with the labor commissioner’s office to receive my full and final payment from my last company. They delayed payment, citing various financial reasons. Some of my colleagues also filed complaints, and we all received our money.
Since they fired your sister without warning or notice, ask for severance pay as per the notice period. They should pay your sister’s salary until the notice period ends. My colleagues were laid off, and those who asked for severance received it; those who didn’t, did not.-
SIm glad that your issue was resolved. How long did the whole process take for you?
She said she will reach out to the company for the last time today, if there’s still no response from them she is planning to do the same.
-
IAsk her not to directly communicate. Either communicate through a lawyer or someone representing her, and do all the communication through mails. If they call, ask her to give the phone to someone else to communicate on behalf of her.

BI also tried contacting them through a lawyer first, but they did not accept the notice and only spoke to my lawyer once, stating they would resolve the issue as soon as possible. I considered going to court, but it seemed like a waste of time and might take a long time, so some lawyers suggested trying the labor commissioner first. That was good advice indeed.
I don’t see any harm in her trying to contact them. Obviously, emails are better; I used to do the same as well.

BWithin a month, everyone’s complaint was resolved. The commissioner was quite strict; I didn’t expect them to be this strict.

EIsn’t severance pay on top of the notice period? IIRC, it is 15 days of pay for every year one worked in the company.
-
BNo. Severance pay is compensation paid by an employer to a laid-off or terminated employee. Some companies pay three months’, some six months’, and some pay according to the notice period. This allows the employee to manage their finances for some time.
-
EThat’s wrong. If the company doesn’t serve your notice period you entitled the pay for that period. Severance pay is additional to this.
> An employee who is retrenched is entitled to 15 days of wages for every completed year of service.

BYou may be correct, but I am not aware of this 15 days of wages for every completed year. Last year, many of my friends were laid off from Samsung, and they were all paid six months’ severance pay even if they completed just one year.

CNAL but previous process owner in MNC
This is normal he said she said behaviour, send email to company officials keeping cc for manager and HR both, they rammed down the process without legal notice, without benching the team, they need to compensate for 3 months salary, along with apologies for inconvenience, and contemporary relieving letter as this was out of blue firing for entire squad if no response within 60 days, forward the email to labour law stating unfair treatments and relieving without prior intimation. She will receive everything within the first 30 days, but best of luck
