Hi all,
One of my friends is working in a joint venture company. The company was a joint venture between a major PSU oil company and a state government agency. The company didn't perform well, and management has decided to close this company after 5 years. The JV had hired almost 7-8 employees at the time of inception. What would be the fate of the employees of the JV? Will they be absorbed in any of the parent companies, or will they be fired? Please provide your views.
Thanks

A broad answer, 'depends on the management of the firm'! A short answer, weren't the assignment discussed with your friends? Ideally, during a merger, de-merger, or a JV, the assignment offers a view to the length of employment with the firm. What were your friends hired for and who were they reporting to? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi all,
In response to (Cite Contribution), I would like to ask one thing: Is there any legal clause prevailing for the said situation, or does it totally depend on the terms and conditions of the employment between the JV company and the employees?

Hello,
(Cite Contribution) is right when she says 'depends on the management of the firm'.
But given that BOTH the JV Partners are Govt bodies [PSU & State Govt agency], there would be 2 possibilities/options at the 2 extremes of the pendulum.
1] Unlike Private Company JVs, PSUs are more likely to adhere to rules & regulations, though not for the love of it but more to do with a law-centric way of doing things. So chances of being given alternatives are higher. You can ask your friend to check with the Management about the options--but this would also depend on the Roles of the employees AND whether similar positions exist in the Parent Companies/Entities.
2] In case the employees are just sacked, there's the legal way. However, they need to give thought to whether they have the will, money & time to fight it out. PSUs have full-fledged legal depts--so we are talking here of years rather than weeks or months. In such a scenario, looking out would be the best option from their individual viewpoints.
All the Best.
