This query is : Resolved
The company had 2 entity one is software & other one is BPO.
I was given offer letter of software company in finance dept. Since finance dept was centralised, I was also given to handle the payroll BPO entity also. It was a tremendous pressure. I is to work till 11pm every day from morning 10am. Sometimes it may by 12 mid night. My manager has not supported me & he is to scold me every day. I worked like this for almost 3 years & set the process. Recently there was a family problem because of coming late & not giving important to family. It went upto divorce. So I resigned. Next day itself my manager has informed to entire floor that I am leaving, which normally company will not do. This means he had an intention to spread as the company is terminating me. Somehow I managed. But now I am not getting a job & i am in home from past 6 months. Now I want to teach a lesson to them.
1) Company has not complied with minimum wages act for most of employees of BPO
2) Whether company can sue ex-employee on theft/stealing the documents while in service or on any other ground even after issuing the relieving letter from the company?
3) whether ex-employee can sue to company on grounds of harassment, high work pressure, etc even after receiving the reliving letter from company.
4) if yes to 2nd qstn, what is the time limit to sue to company?
5) During exit interview, company has taken a bond from me that for next 12 months i should not be sharing the information of the company to anyone based on my role.
6 a) Is this valid. If yes, my company has not paid the minimum wages to many of employees. will the disclose of those documents to labour dept or to court, will it be harmful to me and whether company can sue me for breaking the agreement? or after 12 months can I disclose the information?
7) What is time limit to sue to company by an ex-employee & vise versa?
Kindly tell me all the possible ways to claim money from company & file a suit against company.

Dear Client,
Start by approaching the human resource department of your company. It will be in a position to explain where you stand legally and will help resolve the issue. You can also lodge a formal complaint directly with the department and should give it adequate time to evaluate your situation and suggest a solution. If you are not satisfied with the response, you can file a court case.
In case of a violation of your contract, you can file a case in a civil court. Cases of mental harassment can be filed in the civil court as well as a criminal court, if you add the charge of criminal intimidation. Consult a lawyer to see if your case can be settled through arbitration or by a labour tribunal as this is easier and more cost-efficient.The bond which made you work fo rat least 12 months and during which time you shouldn't disclose confidential matters of the company to companies rivals or anyone else e is valid.
