Reading: I started a new job on June 27th and received my first paycheck, for just four days of work in June (around â‚¹3,200), after July 15th. When I deposited the cheque on July 30th, it bounced. I informed my employer right away, but the issue hasn’t been resolved. I ended up leaving the job in August. Now, I’m still waiting for that June payment, plus the penalty for the bounced cheque and my full July salary. What can I do to get the money I’m owed?

You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner’s office, seeking your unpaid wages, July salary, and the penalty for the bounced cheque under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. You can also consider filing a civil suit in a court of law to recover the dues.
