    1. company has to prove his job category is no longer required for company and he cannot allocate to another category
    2. must pay compensation according to government given structure. ie. there is a formula. Eg if it is 6 yrs = appx 2.5months x 6 you have to pay. and max payment for this is 2.4Mn LKR.
    3. Company must get approval from labor commissioner, otherwise employee can sue and can get damage claim + compensation above max 2.4Mn + expenses to recover. or re-statement of job

    above is official Way

    Un official way,
    1) with three Warnings, can fire employee without any payment (but Gratuity, Bcard you have to release, only compensation can eliminated)
    2) Theft
    3) Vacation of Post
    But has to follow correct procedure, otherwise end with compensation and salary payment for the date you terminate and legal action finished..

    So employee must know when his/her time comes and leave the company.
    Company must know which and what method to apply.

    Eg. if employee has received two proper warnings and he/she couldn't defend it. then third can be his termination.
    but there are employees who has more than 3 warning letters still on the job, bcoz its company decision.

    according to law,employer must release Gratuity on or before 30th day from the retirement (regardless of reason for retirement) otherwise employee has right to recovr penalty/ interest. Bcard also they cannot retain if terminated regardless of reason. (interdict is not falling to termination)

    p.s. updated all to original reply.

    Adherence to the signed agreement is paramount when dealing with this kind of situation. there are separate sub-topics related to termination of employment. better go through it carefully

    what rules and regulations should a company follow when they terminate an employee who has been working with them for 6+ years ?

    ps ; need the information to help someone in need
    no reason for the termination just suddenly happens
    1. company has to prove his job category is no longer required for company and he cannot allocate to another category
    2. must pay compensation according to government given structure. ie. there is a formula. Eg if it is 6 months appx 2.5months x 6 you have to pay. and max payment for this is 2.4Mn LKR.
    3. Company must get approval from labor commissioner, otherwise employee can sue and can get damage claim + compensation above max 2.4Mn + expenses to recover. or re-statement of job

    Un official away,

    Everything depends on the contract. You can fire someone by putting them through PDP (personal development plan) saying he is under performing. After that you can fire them. Some companies give you 3 months notice before terminating. If the employee handles senstive data (say something that gives another party a competitive advantage), then they would be immediately terminated and may be compensated (again only 3 months or so)

    all this compensation shit is just bullshit. Max you get notice for 3 or 6 months. Read the contract the guy signed. All is in that.

    can you sue? Yes theoritically you can, but practically it isn't the best idea. why?

    1. Companies already have lawyers on their payroll so only you will have to pay the lawyer and if the case drags the lawyers will take all your money
    2. Companies have close ties with each other, if you sue you probably will never ever get another job in that industry

    So personal advice --> Just resign with dignity (talk karala shape karaganin. minissu ne inne. But wali scene nam itin poddak balanna wei).

    I think, that friend is experiencing a layoff unless something has happened.
    Just ask to double check the the signed employment contract. It contains a section of possible ways of terminating contract and how should it happen.
    Also this termination depends on the country you are working. If it is a remote for a direct foreign client, the risk is higher you won't get any help or anything. If it is a Sri Lankan company, the laws usually protects on certain things, but don't rely on those things. Usually contract has those clauses that company is the sole owner of final decision. If that is the case, again just accept the lay-off.

    The best way to handle is that ask the company to help finding his next opportunity (assuming no serious case happened). And provide recommendation about his work through LinkedIn or any other medium, so that next hiring company or people have a good impression. This will have a smoothing transition.

    --
    Edit: there are some layoffs happening secretly even in Sri Lanka although those are not published in news unlike US or other western countries. "Prepare for the worse in this year. Have a side income as much as possible. Layoffs will come to third-world countries as well in this year. Don't think about changing jobs these days, jobs are scarce.", that is one of my mentor said recently.

    නීතිය පැත්තෙන් ගියොත් දෙපැත්තටම කෙස් නම් කටයි පුකයි වහගෙන හිටහන්. නැත්තම් නඩු දාපන්. අවුරුදු තුන හතරක් ගිහින් හරි බඩු හම්බ වෙනවා.

    හොරකම් කරලා මාට්ටු උනා. අස් කරා, ඔප්පු කරන්න විදිහක් නෑ අන්තිමට ගෙවන්න උනා.
    දෙපැත්තටම කෙස් කිවේ ගොඩක් සල්ලි හොරකම් කරපු උන්. ඕව ට නඩු දාන්න ගියොත් account අස්සේ රිංගන්න නිසා හා කරපු එකාටත් කෙළවෙන නිසා දෙපැත්තම කට වහා ගන්නවා.

    එහෙම අවුලක් නෙමේ නම් ලෙබර් department.
