Hi All,
I Worked For One Company With Initial 3 Months As A Free Lancer And Another Almost 3 Months As A Fixed Term Contract Employee. I Have Worked As Per The Contract Agreement Till End Of The Day Of Last Working Day. After Completing Contract Period, They Asked Me To Work For Their Additional Work, So I Have Not Agreed For That Since I Joined Already With Some Other Company. As Per The Email Conversations We Had Initially They Have To Give Experience And Relieving Letters For Free Lancing And Contract Period (May - Oct , 2014).
Since, I Have Not Agreed To Work For Their Additional Work They Are Not Giving Experience And Relieving Letters And They With Held My Last Month 2.6 L Salar. For Contract Period I Have Supported From Home As Per The Agreement So, I Am Holding Company Laptop With Me.
For That I Have Asked Them Multiple Times To Tell Their Office Address To Return The Laptop, For That Also They Have Not Replied With Address, So I Don't Know Where To Send It. Recently, I Have Filed IT Returns, In That They Are Showing The Total Paid Amount To The Government Including With Held Amount (Which I Have Not Received Actually). This Is Almost more than 1 year Back Issue, Initially I Requested Them In All The Ways To Pay My Amount And Give Letters. In Between I Couldn't Follow-Up Further Since I Went To Client Place For Few Months.
Now, I Want To Get That Done. For My Current Company Also They Have Not Replied For Background Verification, So I Have All The Proofs Of Previous Company, I Convinced Current Company To Come Out Of The Problem. My Big Concern Is, In Future Also They Will Do Same Thing And Not Paying My Last Month Salary Till Now. I Honestly Did My Job During Employment With That Company, Everything Is Very Clear From My Side. I Have All The Proofs In Email And Singed Documents.
Please Suggest How Can I Proceed Legally. Should I Return My Laptop To Them First Or How Should I Proceed. I Really Highly Disappointed With This Company Management. Thank You In Advance For Your Suggestions.
