‘Exploitative undertakings from employees to not claim any arrears are void ab initio’; Punjab & Haryana HC condemns unceremonious termination
The Court pointed out that no employee can be forced to contract out of his statutory rights, however, unfortunately, the practice of extracting undertakings from employees who have been reinstated after tedious litigation is common. These exploitative undertakings often pertain to forgoing past service benefits and are obtained by placing the employees under duress.
