Mental harassment and not letting leave the organisation

Hi Everyone,

I am here to share my experience and seek solution to my problem that have been facing in my current organisation.

I joined this organisation on 9th May, 2016, its a startup co. which falsely claimed into the market for 10 years and when i joined got to know that it is not even a year old company. They even lied about the number of projects they hold and boasted about the technologies they dont even work on. Just to make me in, they lied to me. And did even give me proper Offer or Appointment letter.

My manager is also harassing me; he is asking me out if i dont go with him; he creates problems and harasses mentally.

This is some sort of monopoly company; they have system of deducting 10000 (10%) of our salary every month and payback quarterly. But these guys dont even pay us these amount quarterly. There are people who have not got these amounts for years. My mom was not well last month i needed money so i requested them to pay my variable amount which was due last month only. They did not pay anyone this variable amount as i was in need after asking for it many many time they have released 30000 variable of mine. But this when i got salary they deducted 30000 amount from my salary and when asked them about it. They gave me some fake reasons for deducting that salary.

They said you were not even working for half day in the last month so we had to deduct your salary. I worked more than 9 hours everyday even though my mom was ill as i needed money for medical treatments, couple of times i asked to give me leave for a day or so . But the manager denied for leave and said you have to be here; cant take the leave.

Now i asked them for money why they deducted when i am in need and even if deducted should have told about this case earlier so that i would have there with my mother at hospital if were to do this to me. They said we cant pay u for half days; as u say u need money we will give you this 30000 as advance and deduct from your salary by spreading for three months.

Now I am planning to leave this company, will this create a problem if i leave after taking advance amount with them; i want to abscound ; I dont want to serve notice period also.

Even if i leave with the advance amount they will be having my (20000 variable + 7 working days ( 25000) salary with them).

Can I take this step or not please please help me.

Thanks in advance,

For pateintly hearing me out on this portal and investing your valuable time to solve my problem.

For doing something like this you need advice? For that u need guts. That's all. If they file case on you. You also file case on them stating wring credentials given to attract ppl like u.

You have posted that:

"And did even give me proper Offer or Appointment letter."

Has any appointment letter/offer letter been issued at all or not?

If Not; How come variable pay is applied to you?

Have you signed any document at all; say agreement?

Has any salary slip been provided to you; showing attendance, work days, earned wages, promised amounts, payouts and deductions?

You are located in which state?

How many person are employed in establishment?

What is your designation and nature of duties?

Is your service confirmed or you are under probation?

Does it have its standing orders ( Model, Certified) and is your designation covered by these?

What is the notice period?

Do you have any attendance record of 9 hrs/day and that you have never worked for half day?

Is deduction mentioned in salary slip?

Do you have copy of joining letter? Ask for a copy.
