Dear Client,

Before leaving a job, it is customary to give the employer advance notice of one week or longer. While doing so can maintain cordial relations that may let you ask them for future job references.

If they terminate than they have to mention the proper reasons. If employee does not has any fault than company has to mention that it's company's issue not fault of employee. In that case employee is legally can claim much better compensation and company has to give that compensation. If they does not give proper compensation than the employee can complain in labour department or court. If company wrongly mention employee fault in termination letter. Than it also can challenge in labour court. And company has to give much larger compensation. Plus company image also be deminish. There are many such cases, where companies has to give big compensation.

So hold your ground strongly. Do not resign if there is no fault from you. Prepare your legal case with a legal advisor. Be ready for fight and gain huge compensation.

Ask your HR to provide you a written communication for this. They can just say it but they cannot give you this thing in written.

Resignation should be voluntary and not forced. Forced resignation amounts to illegal termination. Since the company is required to follow a lot of legal technicalities as well as pay compensation in case of termination (unless there is any proved misconduct), they ask/ force the employee to resign so that the said employee cannot raise any dispute and/ or demand compensation afterwards.

When an employee asks to resign, you can do the following:

1. Refuse to resign and keep working.
2. Ask the employer to communicate in writing expressing their desire of you resigning (which they will never do)
3. Write to the upper management stating that Mr X is forcing you to tender resignation
4. If you have to tender resignation, write that “As instructed by the management, I have no other alternative but to resign from service w.e.f. …………………………”

Do these only if you want to drag the company to the court.

Otherwise, negotiate with the company, try to get the best severance amount and leave and look for another opportunity.

Thank You.

You can send them a notice and move before labour court Or labour commissioner office for appropriate reliefs

Dear Sir,

You can approach the High Court and/or the office of Labor Commissioner.
