I was a contract project manager in a semi-government organization and left my job a month ago. The rules require a government order for air travel by contract employees. My department head asked me to book a flight for a conference, promising government approval. However, I never received this approval before leaving. I had previously taken several other flights with government permission. Now, my salary is being withheld because the conference travel doesn’t have a government order. What legal options do I have in this situation?

You have grounds to dispute the withholding of your salary as you were acting upon your department head’s assurance of government approval. You can approach the organization’s higher authorities or seek legal advice on challenging the withholding of your salary, citing the department head’s promise and your past experience with government-approved travel.
