Yes, you can take legal action. Under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, you are entitled to maternity benefits, including payment for your leave. You can file a complaint with the labor commissioner or approach the court for non-payment of benefits.

I joined DAV Public School, Kirandul in August 2002 as a Primary Teacher. I have an M.Sc. in Bio-Science and a B.Ed. degree. For several years, I taught Class 12 Biology even though there were many experienced and senior science teachers. However, no one else stepped up to teach this crucial subject. While I was happy to help during this time, I was unexpectedly shifted to classes 9 and 10 last year without any clear explanation. I feel this decision might be unfair. Can I take legal action against the school principal?

Many companies are now including gratuity in the CTC (Cost to Company) package. This leads to a question: if it’s part of CTC, shouldn’t employees receive it with their final settlement even if they leave before completing the standard 5 years of service, as per the Gratuity Act? How do companies justify holding back gratuity if it’s considered part of the overall salary package?

I started working at a company in 2008 and left in 2013. I’ve heard I should be eligible for gratuity, but the HR and Accounts department are refusing to pay it in full. Is it true that I should get gratuity? We had a six-day work week with a second Saturday off.

But on February 4th, I received a shocking email labeling me an absconder. I immediately replied asking for an explanation, but received no response. Now, I’ve been served with a notice.
