Salary not paid

It is not mandatory that employee has to fall within the ambit of Payment of Wages Act to be eligible to get wages on time.

Avoid quoting acts, laws, court judgments to officials. For majority of them it is red flag. They may also not be getting their pay.

 Thee employer is duty bound to pay on usual pay day.

The pay day, payment of wages, is well defined in Standing Orders, appointment letter, SE Act applicable to the state, Factory Act, Payment of Wages Act……..

For your information the cap on Wages under Payment of Wages Act has been increased from Rs.10000/pm to Rs.18000/pm. Look into definition of wages under the act also.

Designation alone does not decide employee is a workman or not.

Check if your establishment falls under SE Act of the state. The registration certificate has to be displayed near entrance, on notice board.

Submit gentle representation to o/o appointing authority, MD, Payroll dept, Head-HR…..in writing and look into their response. In a public limited company they may not mind to state the facts in writing.

The Inspectors under Wages Act, SE Act, O/o Labor Commissioner are expected to take suo mottu notice of such situations. So even if some phone call is made they are expected to run a check and file their report. The inspections by these officials may prompt the management to act and manage to pay wages.
