Can an employer fire employees after defaulting pf and salary


19-May-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
Dear sirs, I work for an IT company as a sales manager. The company has defaulted IT, PF and since December stopped paying salary. This april i have cautioned my clients from making further investment. Knowing this company has fired me and demanding 50 lakhs as a damage of company reputation. If i dont pay they will file a criminal case it seems. Can i know if i have done a crime and how to take this forward? Kindly note i have not got salary since December 2016 and i can't afford expensive legal work. Please help with your valuable inputs and suggestions. Thanks,

Did you enter into an employment contract with your employer? If yes, then do share the details because it would contain a clause regarding resignation and payment of salary in lieu of notice period. If not, then you should immediately send a legal notice to your employer and demand payment of your dues and if your company then fails to pay then you can approach the appropriate labour court for redressal.

Also, you have not committed any crime.
