Company not paid salary

This is bhuvana. I joined one retail garment industry as a merchandiser on 27th June 2016. I got my June month salary on 7th July with PF number. I can't able to continue my job from 27th July due to health reasons meantime my husband informed to my manager and I too confirmed to HR on the next day over the phone. I asked my July month salary on 10th Aug but they are not ready to pay and they told that without background verification I left the job and they insulted me. I can't accept this. How can they generate my PF number without background verification. Please advice me that can I get my salary or not? If can means how will I process..

What was informed by your husband to Manager and you to HR: Leave?

Did you send written communication of leave/application (with medical certificate) when you went to office to resume duty?

Were you not allowed to resume duty?

Were you verbally terminated? If yes on what grounds; BGV or prolonged sick leave?

Did you report all of this in writing under proper acknowledgment?

Did you resign?

You have not posted full facts.

If you are aggrieved yuo may approach;

Employee's/trade unions.The unions may embrace you.

Lodge compalint under Payment of Wages Act, Shops & Estbs Act ( if Covered).................O/o Labor Commissiner can guide you.

Labor Commissiner may later club all complaints...................

If you are unable to resolve on your own, engage a very able Labor Law Consultant/Service matters lawyer.

The company has rightly generated the PF account and has done no wrong.

It is you who have left the job on medical grounds (have you given supporting documents which clearly states that you are not fit for the current job that you were doing?) and as per your own wish without any notice (right?)

What does your letter of appointment say about the notice period? If there is such clause, then the company can adjust the amount of notice pay with your outstanding salary.

Still you can send a demand notice to the company considering the terms of your appointment.
