Dear Experts and Friends,
I request you to kindly advise me on the below issue -
I am working with a PSU Bank as an Officer. I have not being paid 8 days salary on account of so called unauthorized leaves, when in fact I have duly submitted my sickness certificate to the branch manager. I am also not being paid other benefits like conveyance allowance, TA/DA etc, which are paid outside the salary as reimbursements, from last month itself.
The reason for this is my refusal to do something as desired by my senior after which 2 explanations were called from me in the gap of 5 days. One for so called unauthorized leave and one for failing to control the affairs of my dept.
I have replied to both. Despite submitting the sickness certificate, so called unauthorized leaves are not regularized and salary for 8 days is not paid. After this payment of conveyance allowance, TA/DA etc was also stopped
Kindly advise legal recourse available to me as bank employees are not covered under payment of wages act 1936. Can I approach labor commissioner? If not, then which court I need to approach for fast hearing

You are first of all required to make written representation to your higher officials and then serve a legal notice failing which file a civil suit instead of labour case.

Sir,
I thank you for your reply. I have already given 2 reminders. I request you to advice if PSU bank employees can approach Labour Commissioner? I believe the process is fast

As you are in Officer cadre in a PSU bank, labour laws may not help you. Try to co-operate with the management to sort out the problems, or ensure the help of your Officers Association. Otherwise it is easy for the management to find fault with any of your decisions taken so as to invite unpleasant actions by the bank.
