Termination should follow retrenchment process for all employees in your unit. Notice and retrenchment compensation is applicable to all employees terminated in your organization other than dismissal for misconduct. In your case, your employment is less than a year hence you are entitled to notice pay of 15days under shops and establishments act (please refer state amendment to which your company establishment belongs). If there are more than 100 employees than last employee shall be retrenched first and in LIFO method to be adopted. Every notice should have reason for termination. Notice of retrenchment has to be served to appropriate government authority as well as put on notice board of the establishment.

With respect to reason to future employers is concern, you have to tell him the truth, because this is not a dismal case to put stigma on you.
