Folks, This is going to be long, but let me try and explain it. 1. I joined a Company in the US and received a offer letter in the US. 2. A month after working there, my visa transfer of H1B didn't come thru and in anycase it was agreed that at the point of employment verbally that I will spend most of my time in India running the Indian subsidiary operations even though I am an employee of the US company. 3. When the Visa transfer did not go thru, I moved to India within the stipulated no. of days allowed. 4. My payroll was being payed in the US thru the US entity for a year after I moved to India in my US bank account. 5. After a year, my payroll was moved to the Indian entity (A wholly owned sub of the american entity) 6. I did not care to ask for an appointment letter from the Indian entity and neither did they ever provide one. 7. It's been over three years I have been working with this arrangement. I do have Salary Slips from the Indian entity, Form 16s, a number of letters from the Indian entities MD stating that my title and salary and date from which my payroll was transferred to the Indian entity. 8. a few months ago, a battle between the management resulted in a faction of the company taking over the US entity. 9. I got a one line email from the Indian MD stating that My services are no longer required. 10. Since then they have neither given me any case of this or my pay or my leave encashment and neither my notice pay. 11. The Indian MD is saying that the US guys are still considering it. 12. Isn't what they are doing illegal? So I have a clear claim under the LABOUR LAW?
