Most employment disputes don't need a lawyer — they need clear thinking, structured communication, and the right information. We help you do exactly that. And when specialist legal help is genuinely needed, we can connect you with the right person.
One-time registration. Verified by mobile OTP. Your 2 free samples are waiting.
🔒 One registration per mobile number. Duplicate registrations are automatically blocked. This platform is for employee education and awareness only — not a legal service. For legal advice specific to your situation, please consult a qualified advocate registered with the Bar Council of India.
A professionally structured email to HR — citing the right provisions, at the right time — often produces results that employees believe can only come through legal action. Start there first.
Most employees don't know the accurate figure for gratuity, notice pay, or leave encashment. Walking into any conversation — or signing anything — without this number is a disadvantage.
Some situations do require formal legal representation. When that threshold is reached, we'll refer you to a qualified employment advocate — with your full case file already organised.
Clarity comes before action. Our platform helps you understand what happened, what you're entitled to, and what your next step should be — without panic and without unnecessary expense.
Verbal or written pressure to resign may not constitute a valid voluntary exit. Understanding the distinction — and responding in writing — can protect your position significantly.
Constructive ExitWhether proper notice was given, grounds were stated, and dues are payable — these questions have structured answers. Documenting your position early matters.
TerminationGratuity after 5 years of service is a statutory entitlement, not a discretionary payment. A formal written request is often all that is needed to trigger action.
Statutory DuesPending salary, leave encashment, and reimbursements must be cleared within defined timelines. A structured written communication citing the delay is the standard first step.
F&F SettlementSeparation agreements and NDAs may contain provisions that waive future claims. Understanding what you are agreeing to — before signing — is essential.
Exit DocumentationAdverse action after raising concerns, taking leave, or reporting issues is a distinct category. Maintaining a documented record of events is critical from day one.
Adverse ActionMost employees communicate with employers reactively, informally, and without structure. The platform helps you do the opposite — giving you well-framed, professionally worded communication that clearly states your position, cites relevant provisions, and creates a paper trail.
Templates adapted to your exact situation — termination, gratuity, settlement, retaliation — with appropriate tone and no-admission language built in.
Upload any reply you receive. The platform structures what was said, what was omitted, and what your next communication should address.
Every communication, every event, every document — timestamped and organised in one place. Your entire case history in a single view.
When formal steps are required, export a structured case summary — ready to share with an advocate, authority, or for your own records.
Everything you need to manage your employment situation professionally — without confusion, without unnecessary cost.
Generate professionally structured emails adapted to your situation. Every message you send is clear, firm, and creates a record — without being confrontational.
Upload any response from your employer. Get structured notes on what was stated, what was absent, and what the next communication should address. General information only — not legal analysis.
An auto-organised, chronological record of every event — from day one to today. Manual entries for verbal conversations. Visual + list view.
Store every employment document securely in one place. Offer letters, contracts, payslips, termination notices, and all correspondence — organised by category, accessible from any device. All data is encrypted and stored on servers located in India.
Export a clean, structured case summary — complete timeline, all documents, indicative entitlement figures, and all communications — ready to share with an advocate if formal steps are required.
Answer a short structured assessment to identify which aspects of your exit or dispute need attention.
Use our indicative calculators to understand your potential gratuity and settlement entitlements before any conversation.
Draft and send professionally structured emails. Upload responses and get structured notes on what to address next.
Maintain your complete case record. Export when ready — or let us refer you to a qualified employment advocate if needed.
These tools provide indicative figures based on standard formulae. Actual entitlements depend on your specific contract, applicable state rules, and individual circumstances.
Based on Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972
Indicative pending dues on exit
Your case details, documents, and communications are encrypted and stored on servers in India, in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Never shared with employers, third parties, or advertisers.
The platform is built on a detailed understanding of all four new Labour Codes and their state-level implementation — the most significant change to Indian employment law in 70 years.
Our team has worked inside large Indian corporations. We understand how HR departments operate, what they respond to, and how to frame communication that gets taken seriously.
We're not a law firm and we don't benefit from unnecessary legal escalation. When your situation genuinely requires an advocate, we'll refer you to a qualified employment lawyer — with your structured case file already prepared.
"I had no idea a well-structured email to HR could produce such a quick response. The platform helped me draft it calmly and professionally. Within 10 days, my pending F&F was released — without involving any lawyer."
"The gratuity estimator showed me I was owed ₹4.8L — which I didn't know. The platform helped me write a formal email citing the correct timeline. Employer paid within 3 weeks. I didn't need legal representation."
"The document vault and timeline helped me organise 3 months of events clearly. When the platform suggested my situation needed formal escalation, it referred me to an employment advocate who moved things quickly."

🔒 One registration per mobile number. Verified by OTP. IP-level controls prevent duplicate registrations.
Practical articles, newsletters, landmark case laws, and step-by-step guides — all focused on Indian employment law.
Being pressured to resign is not the same as resigning voluntarily. Understand the legal distinction and why it matters for your severance and future claims.
India's four Labour Codes consolidate 29 central laws. Here's what actually changed for notice periods, gratuity eligibility, and F&F timelines.
Offer letter, salary slips, PF statements — the documents that are easy to collect now and nearly impossible to recover later once your access is revoked.
What you say — and what you don't say — in those first 48 hours determines the strength of your position. A structured, calm written response is usually your best first move.
Most employees know gratuity requires 5 years. Fewer know about the 4 years + 240 days rule for factory workers, or what happens if you're terminated before the threshold.
A PIP is often a precursor to termination. Know your rights under Indian employment law, what you can document, and how to respond without compromising your position.
This month we cover the surge in gratuity non-payment cases in the IT/ITES sector, what the Payment of Gratuity Act says, and what employees are doing about it.
India's gig economy now has a legislative framework. We break down what the Social Security Code 2020 actually delivers and where the gaps remain.
Can your employer force you to serve the full notice period? Can they ask you to pay it out? What the Industrial Relations Code says and how courts have ruled.
Full and Final settlement delays beyond 45 days are becoming routine. We look at the legal position, how to escalate formally, and what works in practice.
The Supreme Court held that forfeiture of gratuity is restricted to cases involving termination for violence, riotous conduct, or acts of moral turpitude — not routine misconduct.
Termination based on a defective or biased domestic inquiry is invalid. The court reaffirmed that procedural fairness is a substantive right, not a formality.
The Supreme Court held that the Maternity Benefit Act applies to all female workers including daily-wage and muster roll employees — not just permanent staff.
Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act must be complied with before retrenchment. Failure renders the termination invalid regardless of employment type.
An employee who has worked 240 days in a calendar year is deemed a permanent workman under the IDA — entitling them to retrenchment compensation if terminated.
Courts have consistently held that unreasonable delay in F&F payment attracts interest liability and may give rise to claims under relevant labour statutes.
A step-by-step checklist for the critical first 48 hours: what to document, what not to sign, what to say (and not say), and who to contact.
F&F letters are written by employers. Know what each line means, what's commonly omitted, and what you should verify before signing the acceptance.
How to check your EPF balance, transfer after job change, withdraw when eligible, and raise a complaint if the employer hasn't deposited contributions.
Offer letter, appointment letter, salary slips (all 3 years), Form 16, PF statement, relieving letter, experience letter — and 8 more that most people forget.
Most employment situations are manageable — with clarity, structure, and the right communication. Start for free. No legal fees, no commitments, no jargon.
