Leave Salary for 2 years working in a company

As per your statement, the director informed that you will be paid leave encashment against leave not taken. But Mr. Fernandes, does your offer letter or appointment letter states anywhere about the leave encashment facility. If yes it's only then you can proceed/ approach the other authorities, or else in absence of any such agreement between the employer and the employee, I am sorry to say but then all your efforts will be in vain.

Were you employed in the factory @ Goa or Bombay Office. How many people were working in the establishment where you worked and what was your designation/roles. This would help provide you a prescise answer. Also to which government departments you wrote!

Thanks. Yes I worked in Mumbai office which is practically laison office but a company's registered office. I practically worked  to float purchase inquiries, laised with purchasers and factory for samples of chemicals, fillers, perfumes, etc.  and or give purchase orders, collections for bills in Mumbai, sales promotions letters to prospective clients. Thes office is located with other sister concerns of the company and soap company's staff was 3 in Mumbai and Goa approx. 15/20 I am not sure, I did not visit the factory personnaly. As far as I know no workmen was issued any appointment letters?

Your advise would make me better informed on legal matters.

The remedy available to you is limited yet you should pursue the options available. If your Mumbai establishment had only a few employees! - Can you find out if your HO was registered under the Bombay Shops & Establishment Act - If so, you may take up the matter with the Labour Commissioner.

All thing depends on which post you were employed. You are entitled for leave benefit as per Shop and Commercial Establishment  Act, in case you were employed in Mumbai and if you were employed at Goa, you are entitled benefits according to the Factories Act. But  remedy will depend on the nature of job you performed. In case you were workman, you have remedy under section 33-C(2) of I.D. Act and otherwise you have to file Civil suit. If you were employed at Mumbai the jurisdiction is exclusively in Mumbai and if in Goa, jurisdiction will be at both places, option is your to select.
