There is one company that issued the offer and appointment letter, but after joining the company within weeks' time, they issued an appointment letter through a third party for a fixed period of 6 months.

Does this constitute cheating? Now there is so much uncertainty about the job.

Based on the good company reputation, I have joined, but this came as a big disappointment. They never told earlier that they would use a third-party payroll.

Even the appointment letter from the third party is for a fixed period, unlike the earlier one from the company.

Please help me with what to do on this.

Thanks

What's the position of the job - workman Cadre or above? If it is of workman Cadre, the original employer has to retrench him by paying compensation as per law. In case of transfer to a third party roll, his consent is a prerequisite.

If he is of managerial Cadre employee, he can simply turn down the second offer and insist on separation at the instance of the employer as per the exit clause of the original Contract of employment, if he is not willing to accept any change.

This is now becoming a regular practice. I am not sure how far this helps the organization. Candidates are attracted in the name of a reputed organization, and on reaching there, it is quietly told, 'we are keeping you on a third-party roll for the time being (3 months/6 months), and if the performance is okay, we will put you on the regular rolls.' Some organizations keep their word, while many keep the person on tenterhooks for long. One wonders what the 'probation clause' is for then. This is a ploy to save the statutory compliances. To discourage such practices, it is necessary to name and shame such organizations in social media as well as professional groups.

Now the situation is so critical that I cannot work effectively and cannot get a good job with such depression.

Can I sue the company? Will my case be valid enough to get good compensation?

Please guide.

Please suggest, should I sue the company under cheating and ask for compensation?

Just out of curiosity, Satish,

Do you have any idea what suing a company actually involves? Do you have the money to pay your lawyers for the next 10 years or so that it will take to get closure of your case? Or are you thinking this is like Hollywood movies where the lawyer walks up to the judge and he just issues an order of compensation?
