My friend runs a small business. I worked there briefly in early 2015 for a few months, but never got the formal appointment letter I was promised. I resigned amicably and have been following up on my final settlement and exit documents for the past eight months, but haven’t received anything. What are my legal options in this situation? Is it worth pursuing legal action, and what would the time and costs involved be?

You have a legal right to your final settlement and exit documents under Indian labor laws. You can file a claim in the Labour Court for recovery of dues and other benefits, but the process may be lengthy and costly. Consider mediation or filing a complaint with the Labor Inspectorate before proceeding to court.

My small fabrication unit in India has 8-9 employees. Recently, one worker left without notice and returned after a month, demanding his job back.

I joined a central government job in January 2009 after clearing an interview. Even though I’m senior to my batchmates, I received my appointment letter late and joined in February. Due to this delay, I missed the salary increment implemented in July 2009 under the 6th Pay Commission. My batchmates, who joined in December 2008, benefited from the increment, resulting in a pay discrepancy that widened with the 7th Pay Commission. What steps can I take to rectify this pay anomaly?

I’ve landed a job at a new company and they need my previous work experience details. Back in 2016, I worked at a small consultancy firm. When I left, they refused to give me a relieving letter because I hadn’t completed a year there, even though I trained and handed over my work to my replacement. I had to leave because of their unfair treatment, despite serving my full 15-day notice period (it was supposed to be one month). They even withheld my last month’s salary. Is there a way I can get this letter from them now? Should I email them? Do I have legal grounds to ask for it? They did release my PF amount when I asked, would that help to prove my employment? What’s the best course of action? I was working at a senior management level.
