If you're in a state where employment is defined as "at-will", you will not be able to recover from any type of "loss" claim. The point behind at-will employment is that the employer and employee are free to terminate their employment at any time for any reason or no reason at all (withstanding discriminatory factors). That includes not concluding a notice period (2 weeks, etc).
If, however, the employee was contracted and did not serve out the time period - if you can prove through financial reports and other contracts that due to the employees breach of contract you were unable to meet your obligations to your clients, you must calculate the loss from those contracts only. You may only sue for the value of damages not exceeding the last day of the employees notice of termination..
Yes, a company can change their policy at any time. Notice must be given to the employees that the policy is changing. You should check the employee handbook. It is likely there is a statement inside that the company has reserved the right to make changes.
It depends on the company you work for - and your pay period. The 'norm' is at least a week.. However - if you're paid monthly - you would be expected to give a month's notice.
A salary increment notice is a letter that notifies an employee of a pay increase. The short letter gives the employee notice of the terms of their salary increase.
How much notice does an employer have to give an employee when changing their schedule?
It is a company that has put in it's policy and procedures employee manual a line that reads: "Either the employee or employer may terminate the employee-employee relationship at any time and/or for any reason." The caveat is that there can be no discrimination involved when terminating an employee. This policy appears to protect the employer more than the employee. The employee will simply resign without giving notice. Many courts will uphold this policy as long as there was no discrimination of any sort involved. T. Recio Consulting
In a show cause notice to an employee it is important to list the violations that have been documented. Adding any attempts that were made to get the employee to improve is also relevant.
If you are terminating an employee for cause, you can fire him and escort him out of the building immediately.
Before handing in your notice that you are terminating your employment with a company, you should review your employee handbook. Many times, employees are not granted paid leave or vacation once notification has been given.
The most important things come before it's time to write such a letter. The term 'poor performance' is too general and could be interpreted as a matter of opinion. Throughout the employee's time at the job, a written record (formal or informal) should be kept on that employee's progress and performance. Whenever the employee is not performing to standards, that instance should be explained to the employee and a copy of a written notice or a note of a verbal notice be kept on file. By the time the it's time to let the employee go, you should have a chronological record of yours or the company's efforts to train and educate that employee. When it comes time to write a letter of dismissal, you only have to reference these instances of notice to the employee to support the need for the dismissal.
First of all, the employee has a legal right to claim his PF. Irrespective of whether he served his notice period or not, you cannot withhold their PF amount. However, if you had a legal document signed by the employee when he joined about the notice period requirements, you can use that to claim damages from the employee. Usually it is either 1 month of notice or 1 month of salary as compensation. You cannot get anything more than that even if you take up a legal case in court.
Unless the employee is protected by an Union Contract, yes, the employer can change employee compensation at will.
