My previous employer in India underpaid me and made me handle extra work like business logistics and advertising, promising payment later. However, he never fully compensated me and didn’t provide any official appointment documents. He later threatened to disturb my family and in-laws if I didn’t sign cheques for him. Now, he’s pressuring me to pay other employees’ salaries and they are also calling and harassing me. I’m desperate for help.

You have a strong case for legal action against your former employer. You can file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner and the police for non-payment of wages, harassment, and criminal intimidation. You should also document all communication and evidence of the threats.

Respected Sir, I am seeking clarification regarding my promotion within the Chennai Corporation. The current promotion process seems to be disregarding the established government guidelines for qualifications. Is it true that the Council has the authority to promote individuals using a bypass system, even without official government approval? Furthermore, it appears that these regulations are frequently changed to favor certain individuals. Could you please provide a detailed explanation and, if possible, share your contact number in Chennai for further discussion?

Can a junior employee in India be legally bound by a 4-year non-compete agreement that prevents them from working with the company’s clients or major competitors after leaving?

I’ve been working for my company for almost 5 years – 4 years, 11 months and 10 days to be precise (just 20 days shy of 5 years). I recently applied for gratuity but was denied, as they say I haven’t completed 5 years. My company cites Section 4 of the Act and our employment contract stating that I should have worked for at least 5 years before leaving to be eligible. Is my claim valid? If so, what steps should I take to pursue it?

Previous Article My grandmother’s father owned properties passed down through generations. After 2005, my uncles started selling these properties. Both my grandmother and grandfather passed away before 1980. There was no official division of the property during their lifetime. All the grandsons are selling the property and refusing to give anything to the granddaughters. Can my mother claim her share? How does the recent Supreme Court ruling by Justices Anil R Dave and Adarsh K Goel impact this situation? Some of the properties were registered in the grandsons’ names in the 1990s after the death of my grandparents, and not all grandsons are included in these deeds.
