Retrenchment
Retrenchment is the termination of service of a workman by an employer for any reason other than disciplinary action, specifically defined under the Industrial Disputes Act. In India, retrenchment of workmen in establishments with over one hundred workers requires prior government permission, three months' notice, and compensation at 15 days' wages per completed year of service. The Industrial Relations Code has raised the threshold for some provisions.
