My employer stopped paying my salary after December 2013, even though I worked for them for over 18 months as a Senior Software Engineer. I left in February 2014, but my salary, which was around ₹1.4 lakhs, is still pending, along with payments for accrued leave. I’ve contacted them about it, but haven’t received any response. What legal options do I have to get my money back?

You have the right to file a claim in a labor court seeking recovery of your pending salary and leave encashment. You can also file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner, who can initiate conciliation proceedings. The limitation period for filing such claims is generally three years from the date of the cause of action.

I’ve been working for a private limited company for the past year, but yesterday I received an email stating my services are no longer required. There’s no formal appointment letter, but I have my UAN number and offer letter. The company hasn’t provided any notice. What should I do in this situation?

I worked at an IT firm for about a year when they faced financial difficulties. Despite repeated requests over two months, my salary was delayed. After waiting, I resigned with a three-month notice period. However, due to financial constraints, I couldn’t continue going to the office after the first month. I informed them through email and calls, but received no response. A month later, I returned to finalize my exit and was asked to complete some tasks, which I did within a fortnight. Finally, I was relieved and received confirmation by email.

Dear Sir, I’m hoping you can help me understand a situation regarding government policy. The government announced a policy on June 16th, 2014, to regularize contractual employees who had completed three years of service by May 28th, 2014, and were still working for the government. I left my government job on July 16th, 2014, after this policy was declared. I submitted a request to be regularized, but they said I can’t because I’m no longer employed. Is this interpretation correct?

Hi everyone, I need some advice. I’ve been working at an NBFC for the past three years, but I want to switch to the banking sector. I submitted my resignation with a 30-day notice period on December 20th, 2016. However, after 15 days, my company abruptly transferred me to Kerala on January 6th, 2017, even though I was working in Jalandhar, Punjab. The HR department told me I had to choose between working in Kerala or leaving the company, but they refused to give me a relieving letter. This transfer was completely unexpected and without any prior notice. I have 21 leave days remaining, and I’ve already served my 15-day notice period. Is it legal for an employer to transfer an employee like this? I need a relieving letter for my next job. Could this affect my three years of experience and career? What should I do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
