Need guidence to claim my dues

Hi Dear Experts,

I need advise on following :

I was working with the pvt. ltd. organization, since last two years, they were delayed the salaries innitially for one month and then after for almost four months. Also they have not paid any annual dues since last two years.

Due to this I have resigned in Month of Auguest and served notice period of 60 working days, but they have not arranged any reliever and not taken handing over, I have to join another organization hence went away, after completion of my notice period.

Now they have hold my all the dues of two years and delayed pending salaries from July onwards up to November.

I have served this organization for about 8 years, so gratuity is also there.

Please guide me how I can claim all my above dues legally.

I have all the communication i.e. resignation, attendance during notice period, my emails for early reliving etc.

Hi Sameer,

Sad to hear this.

According to me you can file a suit in Labour court for the amount due by the employer.

anshula (a)     06 January 2016

Hi Sameer,

The approrpiate remedy is to file a proceeding under the relevant labour laws. You will have to tell us which industry/establishment you have worked at because the relevant law will have to be looked into according to that. Further, your designation, scope of work and salary will be a determinative factor. Kindly provide the said information to enable us to advise you properly. Also, if you are based in Delhi NCR, you can get in touch with us as we are dealing in many labour matters.

Unpaid wages are debt on employer. Don't waste more time. You have already given very long rope to employer. Reply to ponts raised by Anshula. What was your designation and nature of duties.

You may consult an able labor Law Consultant.

You may be covered as 'Employee' as in Gujarat Shops & Estbs Act 'Workman' as in ID Act.

Establsihment might be covered by Gujarat Shops & Estbs Act.

Hi Sameer,

As per your information, you cannot proceed under the Industrial Disputes Act because you will not fall under the category of workman. According to me you will have to proceed under the Gujarat Shops and Establishments Act. I could not find the soft copy of Act online so will be unable to guide you as to the relevant provisions. But you should contact a union office as they are the ones who file claims on behalf of employees. Otherwise a lawyer in Gujarat should be able to help you file your claim. If others have also filed labour law proceedings against the organisation, you should join hands with them. 

 

As far as your relieving letter is concerned, you can send a notice to the organisation demanding the same so that court knows that you have taken steps from your side.
