“Termination Without Notice + Withheld Salary + No Appointment Letter”

895 votes

You appear to have been illegally terminated and your earned wages and notice pay cannot be withheld in this manner. You can first send a detailed legal notice demanding payment of 9 days’ salary, one‑month notice pay and any other dues, referring to your actual working period and the fact that no valid appointment letter existed. If they still do not respond, you can file a complaint before the Labour Commissioner or under the appropriate Shops and Establishments/Payment of Wages laws for recovery of dues. We can help you

To recover your unpaid salary and notice pay, you should immediately initiate legal proceedings. The most effective first step is to have a lawyer send a formal legal demand notice to your employer, setting a strict deadline for payment. Concurrently, file a complaint with the office of the Labour Commissioner in your jurisdiction. Under statutes like the Payment of Wages Act and the Industrial Disputes Act, you can seek not only the recovery of the withheld ₹1,17,000 but also additional compensation. The unsigned notarised document with illegal clauses holds no validity against you and can instead be used as evidence of the employer's improper conduct. It is crucial to act promptly, as these claims are subject to statutory limitation periods. Regarding the unsafe clinical practices, you have a separate professional and ethical obligation to report these violations to protect patient safety. This should be done through formal complaints to the relevant state health department and the appropriate medical council (e.g., the State Medical Council or the National Medical Commission for individual practitioners). Documenting specific incidents with dates and details will strengthen your report. Pursuing this safety complaint can be done in parallel with your labour case, and the fact of your termination shortly after observing such practices may be relevant in establishing a retaliatory motive for your dismissal.

Hi , Issue a legal notice demanding payment of 9 days’ salary. File a claim before the Labour Commissioner/Assistant Labour Commissioner under the Payment of Wages Act. If not covered as a “workman”, you can still file a civil suit for recovery of money.

Send a legal notice for unpaid dues and wrongful termination. If they don't pay, file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner or a suit in Civil Court. Report safety issues to the Health Dept in consonance with the concerned provisions of law.
