Issue legal notice to pay the arrears.  If co., failed to respond you then file a case in the labour court.

Dear Sir,

What Mr. Rajeev Ji, suggested is right  and first you send a Formal notice by yourelf or through Advocate with time specification, if the Company not responded, then you can file a letter to Asst. Labour Commissioner, Within fifteen days the Asst.Commissioner Office  will call you and your company also for conciliation.   If the issue not settled there, then you can go for legal recourse.

Thanks all for your advice.

What should i include in the notice and what documents should i keep ready before lodging a complaint in labour court.

What is the exact time limit for getting Gratuity from an organisation?

Sir, i was employeed by an mnc on contract basis on daily wage basis but they have stopped calling me on job and they are not paying me the notice period amount to me..please help and guide me as they are not giving me my dues..

thanks

---- In a given situation employee can invoke the Industrial Employment standing orders Act, Payment of Wages Act, SE Act, and ID Act as per explanation of employee under these Enactments or approach civil court.

Companies burn extra energy to convince employee that he/she is not a workman as many of the enactments favor employee and limit the choice to employer. However designation alone does not decide employee is a workman or not.

As per Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 employer should pay all wages and issue certificate on last day in office.

----If employee has tendered notice of resignation say of one month the date of retirement is known to employer and employer should disburse the gratuity on date of retirement on its own or the employee may submit form I to employer under acknowledgment. If the employer/HR/Line management is not good copy of Form I may also be submitted to Controlling Authority which may be ALC, under acknowledgment

@Isha,

“But my manager pressurize me to resign frommy job. “ “She is mentally pressurize me.”

Do you have any proof of it? Without any evidence it will be just an allegation.

The onus of proving your contentions shall be on you.

Employee should record such transactions (audio/visual) and keep some evidence, witness.

To extract resignation by force or in words to force/coerce/intimidate/pressurize the employee to write down and sign his own termination is unlawful…………………

While a determined employee can approach Labor Inspector, o/o Labor Commissioner, Inspector under Shops and Commercial Establishments Act and may even approach Trade Unions, Police with criminal complaint…………………

However company shall not budge until you have some undefeatable evidence.

Your husband has not complied by serving full notice period and has opted to tender notice pay that is not taken in good taste by management, hence the pressure on you.

You may also firm up your next venture as ap and thus have a contingency plan in place.

It shall be appropriate to approach a competent and experienced labor consultant/service lawyer with copies of your appointment letter, standing orders of the company, HR policy, Service rules etc, etc………….give inputs in person, understand the merits and proceed under expert advice of your lawyer.

 

Let your lawyer ask you a set of structured questions and opine whether you would be covered as ‘workman’ as in ID act and/or ‘employee’ as in Shops and Commercial Establishments Act………………….or not !!!

Before you initiate any action in haste you must understand the pros and cons.

Thanks For Your Advise. But sir I Want to Know WHat Should in My demand notice By Lawyer. If Company Give me 15 days notice Peroid By Sending Such mail. Dear Isha, Please consider this as notice for your services - it is management decision due to company 's policy (since your husband has left organization) that we can not allow you to work after 08/31/2013 - consider that as your last working day and we will clear all your dues on 7th of Sep. Mangement wishes you all the best in future. What compansatation I can Get from company Legally. Kindly Advise

-------“ it is management decision due to company 's policy…………………..  that we can not allow you to work”   { if it is stated in email that“(since your husband has left organization)’}

 

It is felt that this is not a just and justified reason.

 

{ Supreme Court of India has held that “‘2. Whenever it is said that something has to be done within the discretion of the authority then that something has to be done according to the rules of reason and Justice and not according to private opinion , according to law and not humor. It must not be arbitrary vague and fanciful. [626D]”}

-----“But my manager pressurize me to resign frommy job. “ “She is mentally pressurize me.”

 

Record such transactions (audio/visual) and keep witness with you?

Without any evidence it will be just an allegation.

 

Later you may have a claim that you were coerced and forced to resign and since you did not you were terminated.

From the language of email it is felt that company has issued you the notice of termination which you may have to serve to earn salary. If you do not company shall adjust it in FNF dues or proceed to recover………………

You can approach Labor Inspector, o/o Labor Commissioner, Inspector under Shops and Commercial Establishments Act and may even approach Trade Unions…………………….

 

It shall be appropriate to show all docs to a competent and experienced labor consultant and service lawyer and proceed under the expert advice of your lawyer. Let your lawyer ask you a set of structured questions and opine whether you would be covered as ‘workman’ as in ID act and/or ‘employee’ as in Shops and Commercial Establishments Act………………….or not !!!

“HELD; 1. Ordinarily , where the termination of service is found to be bad and illegal , in the field of industrial relations a declaration follows that the workman continues to be in service and has to be reinstated in service with full backwages. The Labour Court has however , the discretion to award compensation in respect of reinstatement if the circumstances of a particular case , are unusual or exceptional so as to make  reinstatement inexpedient or improper.”

You have posted that:

----“I leave the Company on 31.8.2013. Because I am not willing to resign. According to notice my last working Day is 31/8/2013.”

You have been terminated and notice of termination (by email) has been supplied to you.

During the notice period if you want to resign it is company’s decision to accept it or not.

If you do not resign (Because I am not willing to resign) company can proceed with termination order it has issued.

If you do not serve notice period company may not pay salary for balance notice period.

 

-----“What should i reply on the the Mail ‘

According to you company has stated reason for issuing notice of termination and relieving by 31.08.13 “(since your husband has left organization)”

“I want to know What should I Do.’

You should approach your lawyer.
