If suppose my LWD is may 31st and the company relieves me by 23rd may but says that I will have to support them remotely for some time. Can they ask me to support post 31st of may?

Hi,

Once officially relieved from the services of the company, the employer-employee relationship will not be applicable. However, considering the roles and responsibilities of the employee, the employee may agree to support remotely based on the request of the employer. Further extension may be requested but cannot be demanded.

In your case, the actual last working day is 31.5.23, but you were relieved earlier, maybe based on your request, I presume? In such a scenario, your support on a remote basis until 31.5.23 makes some sense. However, further extension cannot be demanded. Also, the salary will be calculated until the last working day only. So, on mutual understanding, support can be extended but cannot be insisted.

The short answer to your question is no; the employer cannot force as there is no active relationship.

In general, if your last working day (LWD) is May 31st as per your employment contract, your obligations to the company typically cease on that day.

If your employer asks for remote support beyond your LWD, you have the right to negotiate the terms and conditions of this arrangement. You can discuss factors such as the duration, compensation, and scope of the remote support. It's important to clarify and agree upon these details in writing to avoid any misunderstandings.

Employer-employee relationship cannot be defined purely on pay factors. No employee can say, "I got paid until the 31st, and I am only liable until that date."

Legally, you are not bound, but think as a professional. Employers need your support based on your earlier relationship and extend your support. After all, your reputation will go high in the market!
