I’m working at a partnership firm in India, and my employer hasn’t paid my salary for months. He says we’ll only get paid when the company gets business, even though I’ve brought in clients. This isn’t the first time we’ve faced salary issues here. There are about 10 employees facing the same problem. Can you advise us on how to take legal action against our employer? We really need your help.

You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. This act mandates timely payment of salaries, and failure to do so is punishable by law. You can also file a civil suit in a court of competent jurisdiction for recovery of your unpaid wages.

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.

I joined a private company as a business development executive in February 2015. I worked there for five months, leaving in July. My offer letter didn’t specify when I’d receive my salary or whether reaching targets was mandatory for payment. During the interview, I explicitly stated that I wouldn’t join if it was a target-based role, and they agreed. However, my salary has been delayed every month, even though I received it for the last four months. Can I pursue legal action against them?

I’ve been with my current company since May 2015. After a year, they sent me to China with the factory head for a 5-day training program. They made me sign a bond, saying I’d have to transfer to another branch for 1-2 months after the training. I agreed and signed. Now, they’re saying I have to stay at this branch permanently, and I’m not comfortable with that. My family is in Mumbai, and my 2-year-old daughter needs medical attention. My wife is alone and can’t take her to the hospital daily. What should I do?
