I joined a company claiming to be a Microsoft partner in March. They promised a proper appointment letter but only gave it to me in October. They also held back a portion of my salary, initially 15,000 rupees. In December, three of us decided to leave. We submitted our resignations on the 7th, but the manager refused to sign them and sent us home. They never contacted us again. Now, they’re demanding I pay a month’s salary, threatening legal action. They even sent a salary slip for December, even though I hadn’t been there for a month and hadn’t received any payment. They know I can’t afford to pay them, so they’re trying to force me into a scam. What can I do? Why should I pay this fraudulent company when they already owe me 22,000 rupees?

You can file a complaint with the Labour Department, highlighting the delayed appointment letter, withheld salary, and their refusal to accept your resignation. They can investigate the company’s actions, and you can claim your unpaid salary and any other dues. You are not obligated to pay them, as they are trying to defraud you.

I worked for almost 5 years at BEML in Bangalore and resigned with proper approval before joining HAL Bangalore. When my gratuity claim was denied, I filed a complaint with the Labour Commissioner (ALC) in Bangalore. The ALC ruled in my favor, but BEML appealed to the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (DY CLC). The first two hearings were missed by BEML, but their lawyer attended the third hearing and asked for an adjournment. If the appeal ultimately goes against me, what are my options? Also, is my demand for gratuity legally valid? I’m seeking an opinion on these matters.
