When does immediate termination of service become effective? I think service should end as soon as the termination with immediate effect letter is served. But the letter my friend got states that her immediate termination will take effect after 2 days so that she can return company property in the meantime. She says that by granting her 2 days, the termination is no longer with immediate effect. Who is right?

Hi,

Immediate termination means very much immediate on the same day wherein the termination of employment is communicated / termination letter is issued.

When specific date is mentioned as date of termination it should be perceived as by the closing hours of mentioned date.

The whole issue is - can a letter of "immediate termination of service" be issued on 01-June and be effective 05-June? Passage of 4 days defeats the word "immediate". This appears to be more of a notice-bound termination of service.
Does anyone have any insights into such matters?

When you join any organization, many employers write that your appointment will be effective with effect from xyz date. Similarly, if there is any date mentioned in the termination letter, it may be effective from such date. The employer is well within its right to recover/ tack back the company’s assets/documents etc and if the employer has given 5 days’ time to meet this objective, he can do it.

If you are a workman under ID Act and protected by Labour Laws, you can challenge termination on other grounds but you can not take a plea about the effective date of termination unless prejudice has been caused to you.
