I worked for a private limited company for a few months and after giving my notice, received a relieving letter. However, they’re not paying my full and final dues, including my salary, reimbursements, and incentives. I’ve tried reaching them through emails, messages, and calls, and they initially promised to pay but are now ignoring me. My appointment letter states that they should pay me within 45 days. Can I take legal action against them to recover my money?

Yes, you can take legal action against the company to recover your dues. Under Indian law, your employer is obligated to pay your full and final settlements, including salary, reimbursements, and incentives, within a reasonable time after your resignation. You can file a claim in a labor court or file a civil suit in a civil court.

I graduated with a B.Tech degree from ABES Engineering College in Ghaziabad in 2016. I received a job offer from Sopra Steria during campus placements, which included a letter of intent specifying a joining deadline of September 30th. Unfortunately, I had to retake some subjects in my seventh semester, delaying my ability to join on the original date of July 18th. After clearing my subjects, I contacted Sopra Steria, but they declined my request, citing the start of their training program. However, the original letter clearly mentioned a September 30th deadline.

My company is letting go of some teams. I have a 3-month notice period in my contract, and my manager has agreed to pay my salary over these 3 months, not all at once. However, there’s a clause (not in my contract) saying they’ll stop my salary if I find a new job or any kind of work during this time. Also, they want me to work from home during this period. I’m worried: 1. Is it legally okay for the company to pay my salary this way, or should they give me the full payment at once so I can focus on finding new opportunities? 2. If they stop paying me after a month or two, what can I do?
