Full & final settlement

I left the company in march 2012. I have no due certificate with me. It's been more than 1.5 years past but i didn't get my full and final. I contacted to HR many times but they are not responding. Is there any legal way through which i could get F&F.

Yes. You send a legal notice containing all dues whatever you have rights to collect.

You have given very long thread to this employer, for reasons best known to you.

Whatever reasons you may have it is strange that an employee should wait for 1.5 years to get the payment of his dues.

The employers would be pleased to have such employees and wait for the limitation period of 3 years to expire.

In your case the limitation period might be 3 years.

HR is not your employer. Hr is just other employee in the company.

You may narrate all representations made so far by you by phone (mention dates, phone numbers, name/designation of the HR and others) in person by email by letter etc, by a letter thru redg. post addressed to good offices of your appointing authority, MD…………….and raise your demand and payments by bank DD only and thru redg. post only.

Has this employer been providing PF, ESIC, Gratuity, Group Insurance etc and has it supplied correct FNF statement, and did you accept it in writing or you have not replied to FNF statement at all?

Has this employer provided Form 16, as per correct FNF statement, acceptance of resignation, service certificate, relieving letter?

 

PF, ESIC, Gratuity are social security tools and employer is under obligation to comply or face penalty, punishment including imprisonment.

Employer is under obligation to issue pay slip and get it signed from employee.
Employer can be penalized for Non Payment of wages on prescribed time and penalty for one instance can e Rs.7500/………………
Non payment of wages by employer renders employer as unworthy of being employed with.

Time for payment of FNF wages is usual pay day.

 

 

 
The employer is under legal obligation to keep 
formats/forms/registers/records/service card as prescribed I labor laws including Shops and Commercial Establishments Act…………………………..

 

Employee should not wait and must Act and approach one and all…………………

 



Trade unions are sensitive to such matters. Be a member of trade unions. They know the precise manner to drills sense into the heads. 
The lawyers are well versed in labor/criminal laws. Legal notice can drill sense into the heads.

 


Unpaid wages can be claimed as debt on employer………………….
