Reading: I was unfairly let go from my job as a Senior Manager, and my employer hasn’t paid me my last two months’ salary. The Labor Inspector, after several meetings, suggested I file a claim under the Delhi Shops and Commercial Establishment Act. Should I only focus on getting my unpaid salary in the Labor Court, or should I also include things like compensation for the unfair termination, unused leave, and the impact of being unemployed?

Under the Delhi Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, you can seek your unpaid salary, unused leave, and compensation for wrongful termination. The Labor Court can consider these aspects when adjudicating your case. While focusing on unpaid salary is important, it’s recommended to include all relevant claims to seek comprehensive relief.
