I joined a private company as a business development executive in February 2015. I worked there for five months, leaving in July. My offer letter didn’t specify when I’d receive my salary or whether reaching targets was mandatory for payment. During the interview, I explicitly stated that I wouldn’t join if it was a target-based role, and they agreed. However, my salary has been delayed every month, even though I received it for the last four months. Can I pursue legal action against them?

Yes, you can pursue legal action as your salary has been delayed without any valid justification. Under Indian law, your employer is obligated to pay your salary on time, even if your offer letter lacks specific details. The verbal agreement you made during the interview regarding a non-target-based role strengthens your case.

I’m worried, I was a manager at a company that shut down. The landlord had an agreement with the owner which expired, and there are unpaid rent bills. Now, the landlord is sending notices to my home, even though I was just an employee and haven’t been paid for months. I feel unfairly targeted and harassed. I’m jobless and now getting legal notices. I’m stressed and don’t understand why I’m being served. Should I respond? What should I do? Please help!

I turned 58 on July 31, 2009, and have served for over 20 years, meeting the conditions for the two-year weightage benefit under Section 10(2) of EPS’ 1995. However, I’m being denied this benefit because the law changed on July 24, 2009, altering the wording in Section 10(2). Can I still claim the two-year weightage benefit in my pension despite this change?

I’ve landed a job at a new company and they need my previous work experience details. Back in 2016, I worked at a small consultancy firm. When I left, they refused to give me a relieving letter because I hadn’t completed a year there, even though I trained and handed over my work to my replacement. I had to leave because of their unfair treatment, despite serving my full 15-day notice period (it was supposed to be one month). They even withheld my last month’s salary. Is there a way I can get this letter from them now? Should I email them? Do I have legal grounds to ask for it? They did release my PF amount when I asked, would that help to prove my employment? What’s the best course of action? I was working at a senior management level.
