Employer has not paid salary for many months


19-Jul-2023 (In Labour & Service Law)
My employer did not pay me full salary for about 5 months citing financial issue. I got frustrated and resigned. Now he says he will not pay me entire amount but only about 70% of all pending salary. He is not willing to give any time line for paying salary. I have salary slips in email which also clearly mentions that salary is pending. I also have bank statement which shows I have received only partial salary from last many months. I also have appointment letter in email which clearly mentions my designation and salary amount which I should have received everything month. What action can I take against my previous employer and how much time will it take for him to release my pending salary.

This is my response to you:
1. Firstly send him a legal notice;
2. If he does not respond then you will have to approach court. Either a Civil court or a labour court;
3. You can also file an FIR against him under section 420 of ipc;
4. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.
