I worked for a software company for almost a year. On December 19th, I had an accident and couldn’t work. I stayed in touch with my manager throughout. However, due to some personal differences, he claimed I had absconded from work, even after showing medical proof. Despite my pleas and my return to work on January 11th, the company wouldn’t listen. They forced me to leave, withheld my December salary, and now won’t release my provident fund. I never wanted to leave; they forced me out. What can I do to get my salary and PF released? Please guide me.

You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner against your former employer for wrongful termination, non-payment of salary, and non-release of Provident Fund. You should also submit a written representation to your former employer requesting your salary and PF release. You can also seek legal counsel to assist you in pursuing these claims.

Namaste. I’m a doctor, having completed my MS degree a year ago. I’m looking for a hospital with good surgical exposure to enhance my skills. However, the salary offered is significantly lower than what’s standard (around ₹18,000 per month). Despite this, they’re asking for a two-year commitment. We’ve decided to use an affidavit for this contract, but they’re refusing any bond or notice period. Will this affidavit legally bind me if I resign after a year?

But when I asked for a relieving letter two days later, my employer refused. What legal steps can I take now?

I’ve been working at a company for 5 years, earning a salary of ₹9,000. There are about 50 employees, and we’re paid in cash. When I asked for a payslip, they said there’s no record of employees. What can I do in this situation?

Can a senior employee, working alone, initiate conciliation proceedings without a trade union? This issue arises as the employee is the only one affected by the dispute. Can I rely on the Supreme Court’s Bangalore Water Supply case, which broadens the definitions of “industry” and “workman”? If not, what other legal options are available? Also, under Section 2(s), I am an independent contributor with no managerial responsibilities. Does this qualify me for conciliation proceedings?
