Received letter for termination What action can I take


23-May-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
I was working in Shell India Markets Pvt. Ltd., a group company of Royal Dutch Shell b.v. for last +9 years as regular permanent employee. Recently due to low oil price, company has decided to downsize and told me to search job. They may sack me with 3 months notice period as per my clause of my appointment. May I know whether they can do this? If so what action I can take to prevent or get more compensation legally?

Your employment with a private company is governed by the letter of appointment issued to your by the company and comes under the ambit of Contract Act. We would like to know few more things before we can advise you:

If you signed any contract of employment before joining the company?

If so, what were the terms of termination of employment in the contract?

If there is no provision stating clearly that your employment can be terminated at any time without issuing any notice then ofcourse you can take legal recourse. The first step of which will be to send the company a legal notice.
