I recently accepted a job offer and quit my old one. But now the new company is saying I need to wait a month before starting, and that month is already over. They haven’t paid me anything yet. I have the offer letter, background check documents, and emails. Can I take legal action against them? I’m worried because my family relies on me.

Yes, you can potentially take legal action against the new company for breach of contract and delay in payment. Since you have the offer letter and other documentation, you can seek legal counsel to explore your options and pursue compensation for the delayed start and lost wages.

My boss has been unfairly targeting me for the past few months, constantly accusing me of dishonesty even though I’ve always been dedicated to my work. It’s like a complete change of heart from when he initially praised my performance. He’s even hired a replacement, leaving me feeling betrayed and unsure about my future. I’ve put my heart and soul into this job for the past year and a half, and now I’m being punished for it. I’m seeking advice on how to navigate this situation, as I truly don’t want to give up on this opportunity.

Hi there, I’ve been working for a group of companies since May 2008. They moved me to a different company within the group in November 2012, but I never formally resigned from the original company. I’m planning to leave for a new job in February 2017. My question is, will I still be eligible for gratuity considering my continuous employment with the group since 2008? If they refuse to pay, can I legally pursue it? I’ve worked with them for almost nine years and it would be a significant loss for me if I’m denied my gratuity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I recently left my job at a leading Indian e-commerce company in May 2016. When I received my final settlement, I noticed that I wasn’t paid for all my accumulated leave. I had around 29 PL and 20 CL days, but I was only compensated for 7.5 days. My former employer claims this is according to their policy, but I believe it’s unfair. While limiting leave carryover during employment makes sense, I should be paid for all my unused leave upon resignation. What are my legal options?

Respected members, My father’s name was mistakenly written as Krishal Kaushal in a labor case reference, while his actual name is Krishan Kaushal. I requested the Deputy Labour Commissioner to rectify this error. Instead of correcting it, they sent me a notice. The last part of the notice states that I need to appear on March 6th, 2017 to explain the delay in filing the application. I filed the application on January 30th, 2017, while the reference order was issued on September 17th, 2013. Please advise if the limitation act applies in this situation. I am representing the case myself. Thank you for your guidance.

I worked for a private company for almost three months, but they haven’t paid my full salary. They promised to pay some, but now they’ve let me go without any payment or a proper relieving order. I’m facing threats from their family members, and they’ve even locked their office and home. Now, they’re hiring someone else for my job, which feels deeply unfair and humiliating. I desperately need help understanding what my options are.
