The power to hear cases under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 is conferred upon different Authorities by the Appropriate Governments. In some States it is with the Labour Court and in others it is the the officers of the labour department. In Punjab the Authority under Act is the Assistant Labour Commissioner or the Labour-cum-Conciliation Officer of the area.

Give a petition to the Local Assistant Commissioner of Labour who is also the Conciliation Officer for the disputes between the management and the staff. On your petition the officer will summon the management and conduct enquiry. No advocates are allowed. You can present your case and get suitable remedy. This is the easiest method and speedy method.
