In an appointment letter, the notice of termination is the same for the employer and employee. For example, if the employer terminates the employee, they should be given one month's notice. If the employee resigns, they should provide two months' notice. I would like to know what the Factories Act says.

It would be appropriate for both employer and employee to give similar notice period for exit or termination.
Standing orders provisions: Termination of employment.--(1) For terminating employment of a permanent workmen, notice in writing
shall be given either by the employer or the workmen - one month’s notice in the case of monthly-rated workmen and
Two weeks’ notice in the case of other workmen: one month’s or two week’s pay, as the case may be, may be paid in lieu of notice.

Dear colleague,

The law requires an identical period of notice by either side when terminating service. If different periods are mentioned in the appointment letter, it is unfair and won't stand the test of the law.
