Overview

Illegal termination is one of the most commonly occurring employment disputes in India. Each year, many employees face wrongful termination and are left stranded with no financial support. If you are an employee who has been wrongfully terminated, you have the legal remedy to send a legal notice to your employer.

The legal recourse starts by sending a legal notice to the company for the illegal termination and to recover any dues as per the terms of your employment with the company. In case of no reply to the legal notice, one may choose to file a suit for recovery of legitimate dues like unpaid salary, salary in lieu of notice period not allowed to serve, PF, gratuity and so on. Send a legal notice as a final communication to your employer to resolve the issue before you file a case against them in a court of law. A legal notice typically prompts the receiver to take immediate action and resolve the issue.
