The relationship between employer and employee is governed by a dense framework of labour and service legislation.
The relationship between employer and employee is governed by a dense framework of labour and service legislation. Disputes around termination, provident fund, gratuity and disciplinary action can derail a career and a livelihood; equally, organisations require sound defence against frivolous claims. The chambers represent both aggrieved employees and management before Labour Courts and the Central Administrative Tribunal.
MATTERS WE HANDLE
Scope of the brief.
Wrongful Termination
Challenging illegal dismissals, retrenchment and seeking reinstatement with back wages.
Statutory Dues
Claims for unpaid salaries, provident fund accumulation, gratuity and ESIC benefits.
Disciplinary Proceedings
Defence of government and private employees in departmental inquiries and show-cause proceedings.
Trade Union Disputes
Negotiating and litigating lockouts, strikes and violations of the Industrial Disputes Act.
METHOD
Strategic approach.
Service matters carry significant emotional and financial stress. The approach is to seek prompt interim relief while building a substantive case on constitutional and statutory grounds. For government employees, the chambers work carefully through the relevant service rules to surface procedural irregularities in departmental actions.
NOTE
“Specialist counsel for the realities of employment law — for individuals fighting for their dues and for organisations defending operational continuity.”
