Labour Ministry resolves dispute between Paytm and ‘force terminated ’ employee

Paytm management on Wednesday settled an employee layoff row after the Labour Ministry intervened in the matter on the basis of a complaint by an ousted employee.

The employee had knocked the doors of the Labour Ministry on alleged forced termination by One97 Communications Ltd, which owns brand Paytm, and the company demanding return of joining bonus.

The Regional Labour Commissioner of Bengaluru, who had sent a notice to Paytm on July 9, heard the Paytm management and the aggrieved employee on Wednesday, official sources said.
