Dear Sir,

I am not bother about December because there was no work to do. But I was still going to the office. But he is not paying November salary. He is not denying to pay, He said, he will do after 45 days, later he said 90 days and now it is more that 100 days. He asked me to come to the office to take payment but office was closed. He asked me to call me on particular time, He didn't responded and now he is not responding my calls and messages. Please guide me what should I do?
Thank you.

A.Dear Client,

An employee is entitled to receive remuneration for the duration of their employment, irrespective of the company's profit or loss, as long as they contribute their skills and labor to the company. Upon resignation, following the terms of employment, including serving the notice period, the employee is eligible for a full and final settlement, which includes arrears of salaries or wages, along with other service-linked benefits such as gratuity, PF, and leave encashment, subject to their eligibility.

If the company denies a legitimate claim, the employee can raise a dispute based on unfair labor practices before the concerned Labour Commissioner for redressal, provided they qualify as a workman under Sec. 2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. Alternatively, if the employee holds a managerial or administrative position in the company, they may need to file a civil suit to recover their dues from the employer.

A.Dear Client,
An employee is entitled to get remuneration for the days/period he is in employment and contributed his skill and labour for the growth and gain of a company regardless of the profit or loss of the Company. So, on cessation of employment through resignation following the terms of employment, i.e serving a notice period post-resignation, an employee is entitled to receive full and final settlement dues including arrears of salaries/wages along with other service-linked benefits like gratuity, PF, leave encashment subject to his eligibility. If the company denies a legitimate claim of an employee, he can raise a dispute against the Company on the ground of unfair labour practice before the concerned Labour Commissioner for redressal provided he is a workman as defined under Sec.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. The employee can apply to the concerned Labour Court under Sec.33C(2) of the I D Act claiming his full and final dues receivable from the Company on resignation. Otherwise, if the employee holds the position of Manager or Administrator in the Company, he has to file a civil suit for recovery of his dues from the employer/Company.
