I am.not holding a Managerial post, nor I have any teams or any managerial rights etc.

Dear Mr.Varun,

Now present Labour court only admit the  cases of the worker level only not your case. You are drawing  the salary higher side. and you are not come under the preview of the ID Act.

Labour court only admit cases of workers level that is also some celling limit of salary Rs 24,000.

Now new wage code will  implement  no celling of salary and designation.

Labour court can not deal the ESIC/EPF matters.

you can  approach concerned epf/ESIC office and file a compliant against them.

I think we are not eligible for ESIC.

. if any information you can approach the labour consultant of your area that is better under stand the local situation.

 

This is my advise to you.

PF and ESIC depends upon the eligibility of the Employee. Moreover if earlier you have been covered under EPF, you will be eligible for its coverage. But in ESIC once your gross increases, you will be outside of the scope. You may approach the PF commissioner. First ensure about your eligibility, then you can proceed before the PF Commissioner or even can file IPC 406 criminal case against your Employer.

"Illegal termination" - Please post complete facts. Anyhow, employees who are outside te definition of worken can approach a Civil Court.

I asked for full salary as the work asked by then was 12 hours a day, they removed me from official wattsapp group, Blocked my office Number, and denied to pay my last month salary, when asked the reason, they didn't reply,  when said I will challenge this in court, they said you are not terminated, but aren't giving me joining either.

If you do not fall under the definition of 'workman' as contemplated in the Industrial Disputes Act, then you cannot approach labour court for termination of service or payment of due wages. Even if you are not a workman, you may approach controlling authority under the Shops & Establishment Act. Whether you are a 'workman' or not depends absolutely on the nature of duties performed by you and not your designation. 

That apart, you have remedy to approach Civil Courts, which is unfortunately, more time consuming.
