Less Full and final settlement
2 weeks ago
Hi I had recived less amount in my F&F .When i had enquired they said that they had adjusted leave without pay for 13 days .Wheras i had not taken any leave and serve my complete notice period date which they had mention for dedution during that 13 days i had worked from home and informed my manager also on call.I had marked attendance also during those days now no one is responding on mail and call.
Please suggest what legal action i can take.
In this case it is strongly suggested that you send a legal notice through a lawyer and seek the rest of the money that they have deducted from your full and final settlement
The Company is not allowed to withhold your Full and Final Settlement amount after the resignation. However, they can deduct an amount proportional to the unfulfilled portion of the notice period from the FNF settlement amount. So, ensure that you have served the notice period before taking any legal actions. In this case, to address the default, you can send a legal notice to the company and demand for the recovery of settlement amount. You can also file a complaint before the State Labour Commissioner regarding the unpaid settlement dues. Further, if your concerns are not addressed, you can file a suit against the employer before the Labour Court under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 (ID Act) and seek for the recovery of the amount. If you are not covered under the definition of workmen in Section 2(s) of the I D Act, then you can file a civil suit. You can file a case before the jurisdictional civil court under Order 37 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 and seek for the FNF settlement. If required, you can consult an advocate for advice and compliance.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.
In the given scenario, serving a legal notice to the Company, file an application before the State Labour Court under Sec.33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 claiming your dues(13 days short payment) from the company provided you are a workman as defined under Sec.2(s) of the I D Act. Otherwise, if you were holding the position of Manager or Administrative Officer in the company then you have to file a civil suit against the company for recovery of your dues.
