You can send a legal notice yourself. The cost depends on factors like the amount involved and drafting the notice. Consulting a lawyer first is advisable, especially if the amount is significant or you face difficulties in drafting the notice.

Previous Article I worked at a school for seven years. When I was pregnant for the first time, they gave me unpaid leave. However, they refused leave during my second pregnancy, even though they assured me they would call me back. I left in August 2014, and they cleared my PF in February 2015. I later learned about gratuity and, after arguing, they paid it in August 2015. I was five months pregnant at the time and want my job back. I don’t have an appointment letter, but I have an experience certificate signed by them. They won’t pay gratuity, bonus, or leave encashment, but they did pay my gratuity after I showed them legal papers. Can I do anything to get my job back?
