Termination

Respected Seniors

I need help in the case of termination

there are three categories of employees

Officers
Staff
Workmen

There are separate standing orders for staff & workmen category. But Officers are not covered by Standing Orders.

For Officers Category, in the appointment letter there is a clause, as under

"This appointment is terminable by the company or by yourself, during probation period by giving notice of 15 days or payment in lieu thereof. After confirmation this appointment is terminable by the company or by yourself after giving one month’s notice for every completed year of service, subject to minimum of one month and maximum of three months notice or payment in lieu thereof without assigning any reason by either side."

The employee has accepted and signed the terms & condition of appointment letter at the time of joining.

The employee has completed 5 years of services. Can his services be terminated with immidiate effect after making payment in lieu thereof with out assigning any reason?

What actions are needed to be taken in this case.

Regards
