Need urgent help!
An employee was terminated in the month of August because of her behavior towards the team was rough and argumentative all the time which was bringing down the morale of the team and affecting work process. The employee had served the organization for merely 40 days. Even after discussions, she could not mend her attitude towards work and team members and I got 'n' number of complaints from the team that they aren't willing to work with her. Hence we decided to discontinue her services and wrote the mail on 24 August staying the discontinuation for which she has agreed and replied as well.
We had told her on the mail that the F&F would take 30-40 days, though stated in our policies that it would take 45-60 days. We were willing to initiate her F&F without much delay but unfortunately, the company is facing problems in terms of funds and it took a little longer to clear her F&F but as and when possible we kept releasing partial payments. On the previous saturday we completed her entire payment with compensation for the delay of 30 days extra considering 60 days to be the max period to clear her F&F as per the policy.
She has availed for two half days during her probation, which sums up to one casual leave which are non paid leaves. Hence the deduction of one day was made in her settlements.
Even though 24 Aug was her last day, she claims 26th, though we have proof for that. And she is also claiming to be paid extra and cover the entire 30 days in settlement and she would not accept the compensation we have made because that amount is too less for her. And she has been threatening the company since her termination that she would file legal actions if she is not paid extra.
Now, even after settlements, paid correctly to the days she has worked without any deductions except for leave and PT, she is demanding full payment without which she would involve her lawyer and go legal. This is the 5th or the 6th time she is threatening she would go legal!
Can you please let me know how to tackle this situation as I see there's no mistake we have made because we have paid accordingly except for the unfortunate delay that happened for which she is compensated. I feel she is unnecessarily dragging the issue.
