My father has worked in a workshop for 14 years and his employer is pressuring him to resign without paying his dues. Could you help me understand what legal benefits he’s entitled to under Indian labor laws? Specifically, what are his rights regarding gratuity, leave, and other payments?

Under Indian law, your father is entitled to gratuity, leave encashment, and other benefits based on his years of service. He should receive his full dues, including salary for the notice period, upon resignation. If his employer refuses, he can file a claim with the Labour Commissioner or pursue legal action.
