Non payment of salary by the employer

Hello Team, 

I am writing to get your expert advice about my ex employer who has not paid me and my collegues salary from past 6 months. I had tried writing and seeking my dues by all possible and amicable means but the company owner doesnot respond to either mails, messaages or whatsapp. 4 people have left job and none of them got their final settlement till date. We were assured that final settlement would be done maximum in 2 months however nothing was done. I was in marketing and the client that I brought for them, they could not deliver the service to her and now she has terminated the contract and asking them to refund her advance payment but the owner has blocked her email's and doesnt answer her calls as well. 

I have all the documents offer letter, salary slip etc. One more thing the company doesnt pay PF also.

Kindly suggest what can be done in this case.

Thanks

Dharmishtha

@ Dharmishtha,

 

While initiating such queries the querist should post the basic information e.g;



You may post the exact extract from appointment letter on probation/Confirmation/termination/resignation/pay day for salary.
 

Since how long you are working with this company?

 


Do other employees/you have copy and POD of notice of resignation tendered by you? Did you mention the notice period/LWD in it? Did you mention that your unpaid wages is reason for termination of employment as employer is unworthy of being employed with?

 

Did you mention that to whom you should handover the charge within LWD and that NO tasks are pending as on date and routine duties be assigned that can be completed on day to day basis within and upto LWD?



Has the competent employee of establishment acknowledged it and accepted it?




What is your designation and nature of duties in appointment letter and on record?


You are in which state?


Whats is this establishment; Commercial/Industrial ?

Does it have Certified/Model standing orders and does it apply to your designation?

Are you a member of employees/trade unions?


What was your last drawn salary?

 

You were under probation/confirmed?

 

Has the employer supplied salary slips of those months also for which no salary is paid?

 

Would your next employer absorb you without acceptance of resignation, FnF statement/settlement, service certificate, relieving letter?

Hi Am rifat, I am working in a recruiting firm from last month. Whenever I ask for the salary they don't give me and they ask about fulfilling the target but at the time of interview they didn't discuss about any target. Please suggest me what should I do in this situation

Kumar Doab (FIN)     17 May 2016

@ Ayush Tiwari,

Did you sign any receipt for advance?

Was the advance shown in salary slip?

Was installments paid by you shown in salary slip, or any acknowledgment was issued?

Was it mentioned in appointment letter that you will get medical/health cover?

You worked at which HQ?

Do you have approved TP and acknowledgment of submission of tour bills?

The owner can adjust and due amount in FnF statement and supply the same followed by FnF payout.

The time for FnF payout is LWD (as in your case you have given due notice of 30days), say within 3 days from LWD , max. by usual pay day.

 

What was your last drawn salary?

You can make your claim claim in writing (letter sent through speed/ registered post) before the employer. If they don't respond, you can file complaint against them under S&E Acts/ Payment of Wages Act/ ID Act depending on nature of your employment, type of organisation, etc. 

For full and final settlement, please write to them also. Please contact a lawyer with all documents for better advice.

Please reply me please 

You can definitely get the outstanding money through legal action but it is very difficult to tell how soon you can get. Please write them asking for the money (through speed/ registered post) and if they don't then please consult a lawyer with your documents and send a legal notice.

Salary is generally paid between 7th to 10th of the next month. Salary cannot be withhod on the ground on not meeting the target. Please write to them to clear the outsanding salary as soon as possible. Try to keep every communication documented in order to get legal benefit later, if required.

From your suggested facts, it seems that there is no use of talking and settling the issue. If you want to proceed forward legal, you can definitely claim your dues/ salary etc. 

Depending on your nature of employement, salary, length of service etc. your total amount of full and final settlement can be calculated. 

If there is no document to prove that the company has given you some money in advance, then in absence of such documents it will be difficult for the company to prove the same and recover it from you. 

Coming back to your outstanding dues, you have to send a notice (yourself or through lawyer) and if they don't pay, then you have to file your specific claim in appropriate forums. If you wish to proceed further legally, then consult a labour law advocate with all your documents as soon as possible.

@ Ayush Tiwari,

You have not replied to any point, pointwise.

It has been made clear by employer to you that employer has nothing to do with personal problems, Dukh, greivances etc.

It is of no use to wein and show yourself as Dukhiya.

Even if you were an Area Manager, the employee's unions e.g. FMRAI, may still embrace you.

If you are suffering from negligence of your doctor then gather all proofs and approach Consumer Forum.

You may also approach Inspector appointed Payment of Wages Act.

Or you can approach Civil Court,

FIle suit with damages

File winding up petition

File complaint u/s 406,420
