I worked for a small company for three months but I’m not sure if they’re officially registered. The owner only paid me one month’s salary, and it was less than what we agreed on in the contract. I’m still waiting for the remaining two months’ pay. He says he’ll pay me for the second month once he gets paid by a client. He refuses to pay for the third month, claiming there was no business that month. My job was to learn the ropes, not to bring in clients or money. What should I do now?

You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or file a civil suit in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover your unpaid wages. You can also seek assistance from a legal aid organization. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to understand your rights and options.

Previous Article I’m trying to find a 2013 Supreme Court of India decision about the High Court’s role as a first court of appeal. It seems to mention that the High Court needs to independently assess the evidence and not simply repeat the trial court’s findings. Could you tell me which bench issued this decision and who the parties involved were?
Next Article I joined DAV Public School, Kirandul in August 2002 as a Primary Teacher. I have an M.Sc. in Bio-Science and a B.Ed. degree. For several years, I taught Class 12 Biology even though there were many experienced and senior science teachers. However, no one else stepped up to teach this crucial subject. While I was happy to help during this time, I was unexpectedly shifted to classes 9 and 10 last year without any clear explanation. I feel this decision might be unfair. Can I take legal action against the school principal?
