You should be able to get enough material from these threads to decide your future course of action.
It is strongly recommended that you should approach a competent and experiment labor consultant/service lawyer at your location and spend quality time with your lawyer and proceed further under expert guidance of your lawyer.
>>>Designation alone does not decide that employee shall be covered as ‘Workman’ as in ID Act, ‘Employee’ as in Shops and Commercial Establishments Act .
Your Labor Consultant/service lawyer may ask you a set of structured questions and may opine that you are covered, and that you can raise a dispute NOW.
>>> Payment of Wages Act 1936: Sec13A : Salary slip record should be maintained for min.3years.
>>> >>> The IT/ITeS sector has formed unions for female employees, all employees and trade unions are willing to embrace employees from your trade.

Shiv Sena forms first union in information technology sector
Trade Unions like CITU,INTUC,AITUC,BMS………….are more than willing to embrace the IT employees.
United employees can rake up any issue with Govt. Employee’s is a big community and huge vote bank that NO party/Govt can ignore.
The unions can help to form 'Works Committee' in company. It is an authority under ID Act.The Chairman is from employees/employer on rotation and committee has equal number of members from employees.
The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947: CHAPTER II: AUTHORITIES UNDER THIS ACT
3. Works Committee
The unions can negotiate service conditions and standing orders shall be certified only after parleys with employees representatives/unions.
For the present issues, exploitation that employees in IT/ITeS/BPO/KPO sector's face Pan India the employees unions affilliated with Trade Unions is immediate need of hour and is also a perfect solution.
Are you aware that employers in your trade have formed their unions?
Then why don't employees unite?
Unions are very active and strong and formidable.
