You have been given offer letter (letter of offer of employment) or appointment letter?
Did you accept it in writing?
Is it stated in offer letter (letter of offer of employment) or appointment letter that a part of salary shall be deducted as………………………..?
No deduction other than statutory e.g. PF, TDS, ESIC etc can be made from earned wages until or unless there is some valid private agreement between employer-employee.
Salary slip has to be issued at least a day before the disbursement of wages (on fixed pay day) and signed by both employer/employee, as per :
Payment of wages Act: Sec13A
Min. Wages Central Rules: Sec 26(3,4)
This employer is unworthy of being employed with so better change over and be with some employer with good HR practices.
You seem to have written some emails from your personal email id and hope you have the copies, hence you may be able to claim the protest on record, however show the matter to your Labor Law consultant/service lawyer, Employee’s/Trade union leaders…………………e.g. CITU,INTUC,AITUC,BMS………………
If many employees are facing same issue all employees may join hands and be a witness to each other.
Designation alone does not decide that a person shall be covered as 'Workman' as in ID Act, as 'Employee' as in Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.
Your counsel may opine that you shall be covered as 'Workman' as in ID Act, as 'Employee' as in Tamilnadu Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, and that you can approach:
Inspector under Payment of wages Act
Inspector under Tamilnadu Shops and Commercial Establishments Act
O/o Labor Commissioner
