Hello Everyone,
I have worked in a Company in Chennai from middle of February to May 2015 and I resigned that company as he is not paying us salaries on time..Out of my 3-1/2 months empolyment over there, he didn't paid my last two months salary (i.e. my April and May Salary). Actually we were about 15 members joined in this XXX company as a group. Almost everyone in the group have other opportunity with offer letters in hand from other ABC Company, but we trusted this XXX CEO and joined over here. At the time of joining he said we have sufficient funds and bla blah blah and asked us to join his organisation.
I joined in February and resigned it on May, while relieving he said our 2 months due will be paid on 7th of June and I got a mail from the HR saying to come and collect the cheque on 8th of June 2015. I didn't go there as I was out of town and after few days when I reached them, he started saying we will pay you after 45 days as this is the new company policy (which wasn't mentioned anywhere on the appointment letter), but as usual he didn't paid.
Now even our group left the company because of salaries issues from 12th of September 2015, they didn't even resigned they just stopped going to the organisation. So he called up everyone for a meeting and gave post dated cheques (including myself for 9th October 2015), but they said we are going to come only after cash got credited to our accounts, which didn't happend as there are no sufficennt funds in the companies account and things were just going round and round he gave us other day to deposit the cheque, we depoisted bank guys says there are no sufficeint funds in the account and come and collect the cheque back..this happend almost like two times for now..
So I want to file a case aganist him from my home town i.e., in A.P. and rest of my group is going to file a case from Chennai itself.
So my questions are:
1. Can I file a case in A.P., whereas my salary HDFC Branch is from Chennai and the cheque issued by my employer is also from Chennai Branch (But I deposited the cheques in A.P. Branch).
2. Apart from Salary payment issue because of him total about 15 members were on streets now..as most of us do have other opportunity at the time of joining his company we joined over here with trust..I left in May and still I couldn't find a suitable job till today..so I want to file what ever the section is for spoiling my carrer..
3. Because of all this I don't have mental peace and I have to sell my mom's gold for household things. (I do have proof of documents for selling the gold) so I want to add a case for disturbing my personal life..
4. CEO even says that the company is a start up and he didn't get profit from the company yet..if he say something like that is the case going to dissolve ??...(how can a start up company earns profit from day one itself ???...) he started it on Feb 2015 and by Sep 2015 no one is going to the organisation..and July and August salries are still pending for rest of our group...and mine for April and May..
5. He even didn't paid our PF and PT'S, but those amounts were dedecuted from our salaries.
Any help would be really appreciated..
Regards
Sri
