We had an employee who worked as `Project manager' for only three months in total. The employee was drawing Montly CTC salary of Rs.53,334/-. His last salary (for 30 days) was not paid to him since he did not serve the notice period. Our's a Pvt.Ltd.company registered in Bangalore, Karnataka.
He had approached Asst.Labour Commissioner with a request to get unpaid salary is paid to him. Asst.Labour Commissioner had issued us a `Joint Meeting Notice' wherein he had asked us to join for meeting.
Please advice on the following -
A. Whether a Project Manager (who is not a Labour) can approach Asst.Labour Commissioner for unpaid Salary ?
B. Does the dispute of unpaid salary to Project Manager (a middle management grade employee) covers under purvew of Asst.Labour Commissioner or not.
Please advice.
