This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts, I am associated with a construction company in Mumbai since last 2 yrs and 6 months. I was paid initially for a period of 4 months only but after that they never paid my salaries and kept giving me assurance that they shall pay me in lump sum very soon. But unfortunately, I'm still waiting till now.
I need to file a lawsuit against them but I'm not having any idea as to
(1) What will be the consequences?
(2) How and where shall I do it?
(3) I'm from M.P but the employer and the firm are from Maharashtra
(4) How much is it going to cost?
(5) How much time will it take? &
(6) Will I be getting additional compensation as I have suffered a lot mentally, economically and socially.
Kindly suggest!!!!

You can file criminal case of cheating and criminal breach of trust from the place where you worked or civil suit for recovery of money.

First search for alternate job immediately.
Send notice for your dues and for full and final payment.
They may terminate you on demanding legally your dues. Case has to be filed at place of work. Civil case may take 3-5 years, cost differs place to place and person to person.

If you have appointment letter, look into the terms and initiate action. Nobody will work without salary for two long years. The construction company might not have given you appointment letter and terms and conditions. It will be a long battle - Are you working with somebody presently or not?

In the absence of establishment of employer-employee relationship, based on the four months salary already drawn, you may lodge a criminal cheating complaint against the employer with the local police. Also you may issue a legal demand notice too, consult a local lawyer and proceed.
