Employer not settling my legal dues

R.RAVIKUMAR (Querist) 12 April 2016 This query is : Resolved
I was in 11 months of employment with a food product manufacturing company as VP-Sales & Marketing. The Company is a Proprietorship firm and doesn’t follow any industry norms, rather violates labour & service laws. After continuous follow up, only after 3 months of my joining duty they gave me back dated Offer Letter from the date I joined duty in place of Appointment Letter. The offer letter only mentions my designation & salary with assurances of given Appointment Letter on joining duties. But, they have never given me the Appointment Letter despite several follow ups done with the Proprietor during my service. They have never given me any Salary Slip too. Now, I have resigned through email with immediate effect requesting them to take proper handover of Company properties and settle my legal dues simultaneously and they have also accepted my resignation letter only after 4 days through email stating with immediate effect. Now they are not settling my dues. I am corresponding with them for settlement of my dues peacefully and requesting them to fix a date to meet and take Company properties and settle my dues simultaneously. They are replying that I first handover Company properties and they are in the process of finalizing my dues and same will be paid as per the industry norms, if any. Please note, my total legal dues are Rs.98,341/- as against their Company properties (i.e. Laptop & Mobile Phone) which is just worth around Rs.15,000/-. Since, their reply on Settlement of my dues is mystifying & more so, this unethical practice has been harassed by them on other employees too in the past, I am seeking your advice as to how to deal with them and get my legal dues settled. Please advice.
