-----Does your employer provide sick leave, ESIC, Group Mediclaim policy etc?
Do you have the copy of leave policy, if yes what is the duration of each kind of leave allowed to you?
Acquire leave policy, and remain within the purview of the policy and apply for sanction of leave citing policy.
Although you had informed sickness by phone, it is better to submit a written communication under proper acknowledgment also to this effect.
----Is it part of your job to file RTI applications?
If yes find your ways and means to comply or deny without any heartburn to anyone.
-----The salary has been withheld or deducted?
Does your employer provide pay slip/salary slip?
You may submit a gentle representation to the employer to release the unpaid wages, under acknowledgment.
To avoid any ambiguity and to remain transparent pay slip should be signed by both employee and employer, and employer should maintain the record for 3 years. The pay slip should describe all amounts paid and deducted.
