As a first step, collect the bounced cheque and the accompanying memo .

Second step: Keep your appointment letter and other employment related letters handy.

then  follow what what rajagopal said.

You need an advocate to issue legal notice, so contact your lawyer

Act on the advise of experts.

You may also consult your counsels:::: employee’s unions/trade unions leaders e.g. CITU/INTUC/AITUC/BMS etc, an able Labor Law Consultant/Service Matters lawyer/Law firm

You should have firmed up next employment the moment first time salary was not paid on due/fixed date of payment.

The employee can lodge a complaint the moment the payment of earned wages is delayed even by a day and employer can be penalized say Rs.7500/instance.

You can also lodge complaint with:

----Inspector appointed under (name of your state)  Shops and Commercial Estabs Act If this establishment is commercial and covered by State Shops and Commercial Estabs Act and you are covered by def. of employee as in the Act. Your counsel may ask you a set of structured questions and may opine that you are covered irrespective of your designation and nature of duties and salary. This Act of almost all states does not discriminate between ‘Workman’ and ‘Non Workman’ and covers all employees.

----O/o Labor Commissioner if you are covered by def. of ‘Workman’ as in ID Act.

-----Higher officials of Dept. of labor………………..and drop a word that you are contemplating to approach media and unions…………and court.

---- Inspector appointed under Payment of Wages Act (within 1 year) if you are drawing wages upto Rs.18000/pm as per def. of wages in this Act, even if you are not covered by the def. of ‘Employee’ or ‘Workman’.

Demand salary slip of each month from employer and get it or thru Inspector.

-----Employee’s and Trade unions…………….

-----thru RPFC in nearest PF office (under proper acknowledgment) as if salary is not processed and paid the employer would have defaulted on PF and non payment is offence………….

-----Thru nearest ESIC office as if salary is not processed and paid the employer would have defaulted on ESIC and non payment is violation………..

-----thru nearest Income tax office as if salary is not processed and paid the employer would have defaulted on TDS and non payment is offence………..

-----Your counsels can confirm that you can lodge a complaint u/s 406,420 also and approach courts with ending up petition as unpaid wages are debt on employer.

Don’t give breathing time to such unscrupulous employers.
