I worked for a promising startup in Bangalore for three months. Then, out of the blue, they asked me to resign, practically forcing me to leave. They promised to clear my dues within 45 days after my October 2015 resignation, but it’s almost December and I haven’t seen a penny. They keep saying they’re facing financial difficulties, but haven’t followed through on their commitments. Is there anything I can do to get my money back?

You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or the appropriate court in Bangalore. The law requires employers to pay all dues upon resignation, even if they are facing financial difficulties. You can also seek legal advice on the best course of action.

My company suddenly fired me, citing poor performance and misconduct, which is completely unfair. I’ve consistently exceeded expectations, bringing in significant profits. Despite this, they’ve been deducting from my salary since April and haven’t paid me my full amount on time. They’ve also been disrespectful and humiliating, creating a hostile work environment. While I owe them a small amount, they haven’t tried to recover it before firing me. They now demand immediate payment, but they owe me a much larger sum, including my full and final settlement, unpaid salary, notice period, pending payments, bonus, earned leave, and expenses I incurred for the company. I proposed deducting their dues from my final settlement and paying me the remaining balance. They owe me much more than I owe them.
