Leave encashment is a component of your salary and is covered under Indian labor laws. Your previous employer is obligated to pay your final dues, including leave encashment, even if it’s been several years. You can pursue legal action to recover your dues.

I’ve been working at a company for the past 4 months. They mentioned a probation period verbally, and I trusted them and started working. Each time I asked for an offer letter, my manager gave excuses and promised to provide it later. I received my salary every month, so I kept believing him. Recently, they gave me the offer letter, but some clauses were unclear. When I asked to see the company policy, they said it was still being finalized. They tried to convince me to sign, saying the policies don’t matter, but the letter clearly stated it should be signed on or before my start date, which was 4 months ago. They even threatened to sue me for taking the salary. What should I do in this situation?

What legal avenues can I explore to ensure I receive my hard-earned money promptly?
