Company fired me and not paying my salary

Did you inform the company by phone, email, SMS, letter about the incident/accident and fracture suffered by you? If you made a phone call keep the date, time, phone number at which call was made. If your phone connection is post paid you can obtain call detail/bill from website/on demand also, and keep it safely. Did you submit the leave application? If you have joined after two days, you could have been allowed to submit leave application.

You have mentioned that company has claimed that you have leave in first two months. Can you provide any evidence or witness, if yes you would succeed in establishing that your leave was well informed to company.

Company is liable to pay 15 days salary+ notice pay and issue termination order, as per appointment letter.

It is felt that company has not issued any letter to you and other employees and has verbally asked you to leave and probably you have stopped going to office.

If you have stopped attending office/marking Attendance Company can declare you absconding and terminate and then cite some policy that abscondment is misconduct and hence no salary shall be paid.

Therefore you may submit a carefully drafted and structured representation by letter {thru redg. post followed by email} addressed to good offices of your appointing authority, MD, Chairman, Company Secretary narrating the incidences and mentioning the name, designation, department, address of the employee who has fired you and prohibited from attending office, and conclude that you have not committed any fault and decision of the company may be called back and you be allowed to attend office.

Let elders in the family, competent and experienced well wishers, lawyer/law firm draft your representation.

If good offices do not reply and grant relief all employees may approach o/o Labor Commissioner, lodge a complaint and be witness to each other.

In a given situation employee can invoke the Industrial Employment standing orders Act, Payment of Wages Act, SE Act, and ID Act as per explanation of employee under these Enactments or approach civil court. Designation alone does not decide employee is a workman or not.

Confirm if standing orders were applicable to your industry and company and did the company extend these to your designation. If standing orders were applicable and were not formed by your company model standing orders shall apply. The situation expressed by you and bond may be in violation of standing orders of the company.

As per standing orders Act Company should provide service certificate and pay the FNF wages on last day in office.

The standing orders are to be displayed at notice board and should be supplied to employees at nominal charges. You can peruse the RTI route and request the PIO at concerned o/o Labor Commissioner {location: redg office or Corporate Office of the company} to supply you the certified copy of the certified standing orders of the company. Model Standing orders may be posted at Dept. of Labor website of your state.

the cost of any legal action and the time involved will be more than your 15 days pay sp leave it

Yes Mr Kumar i did inform the compay that ill not be coming for work on both the days i took leave, and yes i still have the call info in my cell records. I also have a witness who knows that i informed the compay for the leave. Actually the thing is that company didn't mention any notice period in the joining letter, there was no kind of contract done too. and its not late yet. The whole thig happened in past 2 days only. Actually the company conduct its interviews every thursday so they fire one employee and the next day they call another person to join. they do this in every 1 or 2 weeks they did the same with one of the employee in my presence and they think that the employee will not ask for salary and just leave working for them with no pay. Though the amount is not big enough but my family is going through tough financial problems so i really need that money. 

As suggested you may consult elders in the family, competent and experienced well wishers, trade union leader………..and submit a carefully drafted representation to good offices of company under proper acknowledgment, and thus build record in your favor. The good offices are expected to ensure greivance redressal mechanism and resoloution promptly. If good offices do not respond to your SOS,you may lodge complaint with labor inspector/wages inspector in writing under acknowledgment with diary number and seal, and visit by inspector may fetch you results. If you find the inspector is delaying you may adopt RTI route to know status report and RTI application can set the Inspector to fetch results to you. This can be very effective and very economical route.

The process is simple at Labor Office.

If required you may attend the conciliation proceedings yourself or competent and experienced well wisher or a trade union leader can also represent you.

The company is at fault and may pay during conciliation proceedings. The ALC may also press the company to pay the wages. All affected employees may join hands and may approach labor officials and be witness to each other.

The Labor dept. has to take suo motto notice of violations and act.

If Industrial employment standing orders are applicable to your industry and company then it shall help. As per act at Punjab Govt. Labor website:
