Tata Consultancy Services: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is once again in the headlines, but this time the matter is not about retrenchment, but about the action of the Labor Court. In fact, the company forced one of its workers living in Mumbai to resign because he needed leave to take care of his father.
had been working for seven years
This person has been working in the company for seven years. Meanwhile, when he took emergency leave to take care of his sick father admitted in the ICU, the company started pressurizing him to resign. Ultimately he got fed up and resigned from the job. After this the company refused to give him gratuity, so he went to the labor office and appealed against it and ultimately he won.
Labor office warning to the company
Forum for IT Employees (FITE) tweeted, despite having huge leave balance, TCS not only forced him to resign but also did not pay his gratuity. After the complaint, Mumbai Labor Office summoned TCS management. The Labor Commissioner warned the company about unfair labor practices and ordered TCS to pay full gratuity to the employee for seven years of service. After this the person finally got his entire gratuity amount.

FITE said that we learned a big lesson from this. He said, the Labor Office/Labor Ministry has full authority to question and challenge the internal policies of any company—such as firing, forced resignation, wrongful termination or withholding of dues.
