Urgent help reqt: Legal Action against employer?

well there is collusion between point 1 and point 3.

now as far as law is concerned, you can take legal action, as company cannot held your accumulated P.F. and last salary, you have to contest between this point.

and then about your knowledge and certificates you have prior to joining of this company, on this basis you can first file a complaint with Labour Commissioner alongwith in consultation to your local advocate.

Regards 

As per your query:- You will have to pay amount of Rs. 75000/- if company files civil suit against you, because you were agree on that term when you signed the employment agreement, it does not matter at all that you had skills and knowledge previously. The company can stop payment of your other dues to ensure the payment of dues of 75000/- only. You can complain to local police for harassment by the company. If you thinks that the harassment is more then tolerence then you must complain it to the local police, after this your company will be on backfoot and will come to make compromise with you.

Thanks Ashok for you reply. 

Few more questions:

1. clause 2 and 3 are conflicting with each other and these caluses are not correct from legal aspect as well. Am I correct. If I am going to file case against company on these points, where I will stand?

2. Regarding training bond

a:       Could you please let me know what is the rule?

b:       How the cost of training is calculated? Is it like that campany can demand any amount towards training by mentioning in offer letter?  One important point is in offer letter company didn't mention what trainings company is going to provide and what will be cost of each training. In my case training was given by another employee who does only this work. apart from his time company didn't spend any specific cost on traing.

c:        As per law what are the conditions should be met if company provides any training? Like is it required for company to provide any certificate for training? In my case company didn't provide any certificate to me. In company  trainings are given to achieve the targets those are set according to the international policy.  

Thanks in advance,

Dear Senior Advocates

Can someone guide me for the following :-

1. I was employed by a franchisee of a well known computer institute on a salary of 18,000 per month. The franchisee owner has not paid me full salary (however, he has paid me part of that), I worked there for almost 3 month. All of a sudden, he removed me from the job, without paying me the balance salary of amlost 40,000. The franchisee owner, now, unfortunately died, and the Company is not paying any attention towards the balance payment. The widow of the employer, also were not paying attention.

What would be your suggestion. (I dont have any documentry proof, however I have copies of the attendance muster)

Case no 2. : Same case-another company has hired me, on a consolidate pay of Rs. 16,000.00, but again they fired me without giving the full payment. On appointment letter, it is clearly mentioned that I will get 16000 salary.

Please guide me

I resigned on 11th Aug 2011, also medically i am advised not to work in night shifts as I am wrkng for a BPO it's a key requirement there, can I get a acceptance and relieving on medical grounds...

 

kindly advise...

Dear Varsha,

It is good that you have done your home work. You seem to have a good case.

The appointment letter does not promote sense of equality on notice period. If the employer can terminate by 7 days notice; employee can also apply 7 days. During probation period 2 month's notice period is unreasonable.

It is not clear whether any training period was mentioned in your appointment letter.

Kindly confirm if the company circulated any employee rule book by email as a soft copy, or by circular as a hard copy. If you can you may obtain the copy along with standing orders.

If company has purchased a training module, software, CD etc and has trained multiple employees with the same, then at the most company can divide the cost amongst all employees, and if the module and software etc is still valid for say another 1 year, then employee can contest that company shall use the same for training in future for “n” number of employees. Companies refrain from placing bills, details etc on record and prefer to take refuge in signed acceptance of terms and conditions by employee, however in a court of law this may not work.

You have served the company for project work although it was extended hence you have not caused any loss. It is believed that company has not charged you for misconduct etc.

It shall be appropriate to seek an appointment with good offices of your appointment authority, MD, Head HR , company secretary and apply your negotiation, persuasion, persistence skills and ability to reason with logic, and settle the matter amicably in your favor. You should submit the minutes by letter thru regd/speed post, and request the good offices to intervene and provide relief to you. You should demand the acknowledgment of your notice of resignation, acceptance of your resignation, work experience/service certificate, settlement of you’re a/c and disbursement of payment, FNF statement, form 16, PF accumulation reports and withdrawal/transfer forms, acknowledgment of company property stating nothing is pending/due at your end on prescribed format of the company under original seal and signature by hand of the competent employee, NOC/NDC, relieving letter, etc. Company can sit on relieving letter and is duty bound to supply others to you.

 

Company can not block your PF as the funds are with the concerned PF authorities. You can submit PF forms along with covering letter for withdrawal/transfer to your company by regd/speed post, followed by email intimation and demand that company should supply you the acknowledgment issued by PF office to you thru regd/speed post. You can mention that if company wants you can supply postage prepaid self addressed envelope top the company. Alternatively you can obtain PF forms from market/local PF office and get these attested by one of the designated authority e.g. bank manager and submit these direct with concerned PF office. Kindly note it is better to transfer the PF to new employer and keep it regular for min. 10 years as you shall become eligible for pension.

If the good offices do not respond to the logics, facts, and your goodwill gestures, and do not provide relief, then you can lodge a complaint with o/o labor commissioner, on all counts including pressure/unfair/harassment you have faced. It shall be appropriate to consult elders in the family, experienced and competent well wishers, lawyer/law firm/labor consultant. If you do not send your lawyer/law firm/labor consultant to o/o labor commissioner/labor Court Company can also not send their lawyer and shall have to represent thru an employee. You can have a service lawyer however you may represent on your own under expert guidance.

As suggested by learned Mr. Yadav, you can approach law enforcement agencies.

Hello, 

 

I worked with last organization since Oct 2011 to Nov 2013. Now I want to withdraw my PF but they have not submitted that to my PF account yet. I have talked to HR many times. I am in urgent need of money. Please let me know if I can take any legal action against them.

Email : guptashalu786@gmail.com

Thee employer can not decline to attest the PF forms and has to submit the attested PF forms to concerned  PF office in 5days and supply the acknowledgment issued by PF office to employee by effective mode of communication.

Do you have POD of pF withdrawal forms submitted by you to company?

If you have proof of delivery to PF withdrawal forms to past employer you can succeed with a complaint thru RPFC in nearest PF office.

If you have proof then you can claim that the employer has not been attesting the PF forms and submitting these to PF office and hence RPFC should get penal action initiated against employer……………………….

The RPFC shall depute the PF inspector to get the PF forms attested.

 

 You can also submit PF withdrawal forms (obtain from nearest PF office) attested by any of the designated officials e.g. BM of your bank thru nearest PF office, under proper acknowledgment.
