Can a highly paid manager approach labor department

hope she can can go to court/human right organisations.....?

Yes they cand definitely approach a court of law.  Can  State  Human Right Commission handle such cases ? Is there any precedence  ?

Indian Law presumes that whosoever works in Managerial cadre are part and parcel of Promoters, owners and management of the firm/company and so they cannot have any issues among themselves.  How funny? Employee working in managerial cadre wants to move courts?  She will never get jobs elsewhere in India in future if she does so. All managements in the country will remember her name forever.

If agrieved employee was working in Delhi, he/she has the right to complain to labour commissioner under Delhi Shop & Establishment Act, irrespective of the designation.

Supervisor might also be eligible.

Rest depends upon nature of duties on record.

If the establishment is commercial:The Inspector appointed under State Shops & Estbs Act may be approached, if employee is covered by the def. of employee as in the  Act.

The Inspector appointed under Payment of Wages Act may be approached, if employee is covered by the def. of wages as in the  Act.This Act does not discrminate between Workman and Non Workman.

Or Civil courts can be approached.

The answer depends on nature of relief sought. Depending on nature of relief sought we see which law is applicable to get that relief and that law lays down rules about the forum the victim has to approach. With the given information it can't be said whether she can approach Labour commissioner or not.

😀Many people ask queries in this forum like University asks a question to student in examination. You are in need. You please introduce yourself, convey your problem and then ask the question, instead of asking like examiner.

The nature of duties on record matters.
