Respected All
I have been working in a small firm in chennai. I decided to resign my job as they failed to pay me for the last four months. Whenever i asked them, they said "No money to put" even though i worked hard and completed projects which i was assigned. After a long quarrel, they accepted my resignation and asked me to service for a month as Notice period. In that meeting, I was asked to do some knowledge transfer, providing documents and providing demonstration of whatever i did. As i have done most of these, they are now asking me to do some other tasks which were not discussed in my last discussion with the management.
And they are telling that, they will not pay my 4-month pending salary until i complete my notice period and that is what government law says they said.
I am unable to do anything as i dont know whether they are right. One thing is sure that they are making their employees do jobs for them; they earn money from that; but not paying their employees; making them to quit.
Also, i would like to know whether the company can deny paying its employees if it fails to give proper work to its employees?
