What are my rights regarding notice period and severance pay?

1 Answer from Verified Lawyers

Your entitlement to a notice period or severance pay primarily depends on your employment contract, company policies, and applicable labour laws. In many cases, either the employer or employee must provide the agreed notice period before terminating employment, unless termination is for misconduct or other legally recognized reasons.

Where applicable, employees may also be entitled to gratuity, leave encashment, retrenchment compensation, or other statutory benefits, depending on their length of service and the circumstances of termination.

Before accepting any settlement, review your employment agreement and ensure that all legal dues have been paid. If your employer fails to honour these obligations, legal remedies may be available.

Disclaimer: Employee rights regarding notice and severance vary depending on the nature of employment, applicable laws, and contractual terms.
