I joined a startup a year ago, everything was great initially. But after six months, our salaries started getting delayed – first by 10 days, then 20, and then for two whole months. The management kept assuring us everything would be fine, but now they haven’t paid us for five months! They just gave us a small token of ₹5,000 this month, which is a drop in the bucket compared to what I’m owed. When we ask the management, they don’t have any answers. I recently found a new job, as I had no other choice. I completed my notice period and left the company, but I can’t let my five months of salary go. What should I do?

You have grounds to pursue legal action against your former employer for non-payment of wages. You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or approach the appropriate court to recover your outstanding salary. It’s advisable to consult with a lawyer to understand your options and best course of action.
