I am working in multinational company for the last 5 years, my contract is renewed every year (one year duration). I joined the company on Feb 15, 2006 and my last contract was renewed on Feb 15, 2010. The company is refusing to renew my contract for one more year and they are giving me a 15 days notice. My question is: As per new Labour Law am I entitled to a 3 month notice?

Answer: You must be given a 3-month notice regardless of what type of contract you have, especially since your contract has been constantly renewed every year. If you had been only on a one-year contract and the company had specified that your services would no longer be required after that then things would have been different. Once the contract is automatically renewed, then it no longer remains a limited-period contract and as such the 3-month notice is required.
