Executive employment

Hi,

I had taken an executive employment agreement with a basic salary of Rs. 40,000/- pm.The agreement period was 3 years but can be terminated by either party by giving 60 days notice.  This is a Pvt Ltd company with 10 partners but one MD is the only active parrtner.

Of the other components of the salary about 27% was to be taken as reinvestment and shares to be issued at the end of every financialy year after due deligence to determine the value of the shares and about 19% would be paid as year end reimbursements. This is attached as an annexure to the agreement and the reimbursables are mentioned in tis annexure to add upto my CTC.  while getting relieved, i asked the MD about my settlement and he said he intended to pay the reinvestment amount and it was also agreeeable to me. But this discussion was only verbal. 

A part of hte year end reimbursement was paid when I was in employment. The company was financially struggling and not in good health so I resigned after one year and after serving 60 day notice period was relieved.  But he company management is not responding purely it seems because of the poor financial health.  Even after 3 months of relieving there is no response and the MD (signatory to my agreement) hardly reply to any of my mails in this regard. I have sent atleast 10 mails attaching the claims  statement. But only twice I received the reply saying the financial position is not good etc.

There is not commited date given for issue of shares OR settlement in cash and also settling my year end payouts.

I just wanted to know how to move forward in this regard and what are the options available to me. Can this be considered as criminal breach of trust?  

I request the learned legal experts to guide me.

Thanks

SS

Thanks a lot Mr. Joshi. I just overlooked mentioning this appointment is for an executive position as General Manager. I was of the impression that this agreement do not come under labour court jurisdiction . Your reply is very encouraging for me.  I seek your reconfirmation.

Thanks again

Learned experts/members have given valuable advice. Kindly follow it.

You may go thru the SE Act applicable to your state which may be available at the Dept. of Labor website of your state or you may buy the latest version from market.

The address of the Inspector/Chief Inspector under the Act may be available at the page of SE Inspectorate, and address of Officials of O/o Labor commissioner may also be available at web page for O/o Labor commissioner.

E.g.

The Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954;

2. Definitions.—

(7)  “employee” means a person wholly or principally employed, whether directly or

otherwise, and whether for wages (payable on permanent, periodical, contract, piece-rate or commission basis) or other consideration, about the business of an

establishment and includes an apprentice and any person employed in a factory but

not governed by the Factories Act, 1948 (43 of 1948), and for the purpose of any

matter regulated by this Act, also includes a person discharged or dismissed whose

claims have not been settled in accordance with this Act;

 

 

 

19.  TIME AND CONDITIONS OF PAYMENT OF WAGES.

20.  DEDUCTIONS WHICH MAY BE MADE FROM WAGES.

21.  CLAIMS RELATING TO WAGES.

30.  NOTICE OF DISMISSAL.

33.  RECORDS

35.  INSPECTION OF REGISTERS AND CALLING FOR INFORMATION.

40.  PENALTIES

41.  WILFULLY MAKING FALSE ENTRIES

43.  DETERMINATION OF EMPLOYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS ACT

 

You have posted that:

-- “But only twice I received the reply saying the financial position is not good etc.”

This statement from official email id of the MD of the company may help you.

--“ Of the other components of the salary about 27% was to be taken as reinvestment and shares to be issued at the end of every financialy year after due deligence to determine the value of the shares and about 19% would be paid as year end reimbursements.”

The CS/CA must have prepared and filed due diligence report determining the value of shares and thus you can calculate the reinvestment amount as assured by MD.

“But this discussion was only verbal.”

You could submit minutes of discussion and place it on record.

“A part of hte year end reimbursement was paid when I was in employment.”

For the remaining part you may lodge your claim with the good o/o MD.

 

You may approach a competent and experienced service lawyer with copies of all docs and give inputs in person and proceed under expert advice of your lawyer.

You can meet Inspector/Chief Inspector under the Act and proceed as deemed fit at your end.

I approached the labour officer in Bangalore. He turned down accepting my compliant stating that the Labour department in the state resolve complaints only of people who fall with in the minimum wages as per the law.

He said I may have to approach a civil court.

Please advice.

Thanks
