WDoesn’t work that way. If you burn down someones house, the fact that it can be rebuilt doesn’t make the arson any less of a crime. Even if you compensate, it will remain a crime.
Similarly, deleting the files is an act of sabotage and the company being able to retrieve the data doesn’t make it less of a crime.
The purpose of legal action is to punish the culprit and set them as an example to deter others from trying the same.
In this case, this person can kiss his career good bye. Somebody got caught doing something similar at my previous company and his career ended after that. He was never able to get another white collar job.
WEmployees who are laid off are always given the option of signing voluntarily resignation along with notice period pay and optionally severance pay at the employers discretion. When they resign, they get a relieving letter and the employer records also reflect the “Reason for leaving” as “Resignation”. There would be no problem hiring those people since their exit was clean. In fact, even for performance or less serious disciplinary issues, employers usually provide the option of voluntary resignation.In case of termination, you get a termination letter instead of relieving letter. The employer records also reflect “Reason for leaving” as “Termination”. If the termination is for a non disciplinary reason, they would still have to pay for the notice period.
When a future employer does Background verification, they will get to know that you were terminated, but might not always get to know the reason for it. From the their perspective, it could be because of redundancy or it could be because of poor attitude, absenteeism or more serious disciplinary issues like policy violations or even sexual harassment. When an employer see a termination on your background verification, it is pretty much treated as a red flag. If nothing else, they would see it as a case of an employee who is a hassle.
Most employers would not take chances on such candidates. Hiring the wrong people can be quite damaging. The basic philosophy at my company for instance is that if you have a shadow of a doubt about a candidate, you don’t hire them.
WFirst of all, Severance pay is different from notice period pay. Notice period pay is based on the your contractual notice period. Employer has the option to either serve you notice and pay salary for it or relieve you immediately and pay you salary for the period. In this case, the employer is going with the first option which is to serve notice and pay salary for the period.Statutory Severance Pay is payable at 15 days basic salary for each full year spent in the company. It is only applicable for workers in non supervisory roles. Additionally, if you are a IT worker in IT Hubs like Bangalore or Hyderabad, the service pay requirement is exempted. Any other severance pay is purely at discretion of employer.
Voluntary Resignation is a option that IT employers provide except in the worst of disciplinary cases. It is because voluntary resignation is beneficial for both sides. The employer saves some book keeping overheads and possibility of frivolous litigation. For the employee, they won’t lose opportunities because they have a termination on their records.
If OP refuses to resign, they will still go ahead and terminate. Its just a bit more inconvenient for the employer. But for the employee, a termination would shut the door for jobs in many IT companies. My company at least would never hire somebody with a termination on their record. So, it is up to OP to decide whether they are willing to go for resignation or let the employer terminate them.
Also, in many companies that provide additional severance pay during layoffs, they will only give it if you are going for voluntary resignation. If they have to terminate you, they will pay you for the notice period only as legally required. In this case, OP is getting the notice period pay in either case, so the only difference is in their future employability.
WBonded labor is when you are obligated to work to pay off a debt with terms of repayment being vague enough that the employer has perpetual control over your freedom.It’s not bonded labor when there it’s not compulsion to work, but only compulsion to pay fair compensation.
A court will never order you to continue working for the employer because of a bond. They will just order you to pay the employer compensation based on what they spent on you.
WTo begin with, cheating by wife is just potential grounds for divorce and doesn’t even guarantee it. If the wife doesnt want divorce and judge doesn’t feel like it, husband can be denied divorce.I cannot find the link anymore, but there was also one case where the court said that a husband knowing/catching wife cheating is mental cruelty towards her and even if husband doesn’t seek divorce, the wife is entitled to live separately from her husband and the husband is required to pay maintenance to her.
Below are judgements from two different high courts which establish that occational/isolated acts of adultery is fine and doesn’t disentitle the wife from maintenance. So, if the wife is cheating occassionally, she would still be eligible for maintainence.
The husband has to prove that the wife is constantly living in adultery. Such evidence is near impossible to obtain and also subject to the whims of the courts. And even if you do manage to prove, the denial of maintainence is not permanent. The wife can seek maintainence again at a later point.
Similarly, if the wife has a child through adultery, the husband is not allowed to test the parentage of the child. Even if a DNA test is done, it’s results would have no recognition and the husband would still be liable to maintain the wife and the child.
Basically, maintainence is viewed as a basic right of the wife. It won’t matter whether the wife is sleeping with another man or has children with them or if the husband is bedridden with disability or illness. As long as the wife cannot maintain herself and husband has any money to his name, maintainence/alimony is has to be paid.
WJust know that it’s illegal to even put a pregnant woman on PIP. Even if there is a genuine cause, they have to wait until after the maternity leave to put them on PIP.WOr for that matter joint bank accounts, fixed deposits or anything else joint unless you are not going to be fazed by losing it.Don’t buy into the bullshit that marriage or any other relationship is forever.
No relationship is permanent. Not marriage, not friendship and not even the relationships with your parents, siblings are children.
Any relationship can turn toxic and become intolerable. Secure your finances and never be at another persons mercy.
WYes, the security failed, but that is beside the point. OP was asking about their rights to get the footage which is what I answered.This is a case of vandalism and OP should be filing a police compliant rather than trying to deal with it themselves. Police can legally access the footage.
Even if OP obtains the footage to use as evidence, how will they prove its authenticity later on? All they can do is confront the culprit which may not end well.
WAgree that OP needs to file a police complaint ASAP and they can get access to the footage as part of investigation, but just to clarify a few points.– Parking space is considered common property and not owned by flat owners/residents. What you pay for is not for the land, but just an allotment of parking space which will transfer automatically when you sell the flat.
– CCTV infra is common property and not individually owned. Owners/residents don’t have inherent rights to get access to the footage.
– Only security, property manager and the police are generally allowed access to the CCTV footage. They may at their discretion provide the footage to individuals on request.
– if they deny or delay and you have sufficient reason like in this case, police can be approached.
W1 & 2. Only authorised personnel like security, property management or police are allowed to access CCTV footage. Security/Property management can at their discretion provide the footage to you, but you cannot demand it as a right.3 & 4. You need to file a police complaint ASAP and they will get access to the footage.
WThat depends on length of the copper tubing and the gas filling needs. The 1200 is the minimum installation charge if your outdoor unit is just on the other side of the indoor unit. If the distance increases, so does the cost.I am currently looking at installing tubing for a VRV AC setup and the tubing itself costs ~1.05L and another 16k for installing it.
WJust to add, resignation is not a free “get out without consequences” card. The employer can still investigate and file a civil/criminal case against your friend.If the investigation is completed during the notice period, they can go ahead and terminate on disciplinary basis.
WYep. EB doen’t care who caused the damage. The society has to pay for the repairs. It’s upto the society to recover the cost from municipality if they can.WYou will get a separate bill even if you have a common HT line with individual metering.In any case, regardless of the setup, you will still be utilising society infra. For example, the society is responsible for the maintenance of cables, transformers/sub-station installed for the community. When the HT cables for our society were cut due to municipality work outside my gated community, the society had to pay 2 Lakh from its funds to the Electricity board for repairs.
Non payment of maintenance impacts all residents. A few years ago, due to non clearance of maintenance dues by few people in my gated community led to default on various dues including for electricity bill of the common amenities (lights, lift etc) which resulted in electricity disconnection for the entire community. Paying residents had to pool money to clear the dues and get the power supply restored. It also affects maintenance of other amenities as well.
Whttps://www.livelaw.in/high-court/telangana-high-court/telangana-high-court-upholds-apartment-associations-right-to-disconnect-water-and-electricity-maintenance-charges-payment-251131Legal in Telangana for gated communities and upheld by court. You need to check your local laws.
Besides,in many gated communities, you don’t have electricity connection from grid. You may be using a common connection and infrastructure of the community to get power to your flat.
