Company dont paying salary

Answer

A:

If a company is not paying salary, the employee has clear legal remedies under Indian law. The first step is to send a written reminder or demand notice to the employer and keep records such as appointment letter, salary slips, and bank statements as proof.

If the salary is still not paid, the employee can approach the Labour Commissioner under the Payment of Wages Act or Shops and Establishments Act, depending on the nature of employment. Those in managerial or senior positions can file a civil suit for recovery of money before the appropriate court. In cases where many employees are affected, a collective complaint can also be made to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

Non-payment of salary is a violation of employment rights, and in certain cases where there is clear dishonesty, employees may even initiate criminal proceedings for cheating or fraud. Courts generally treat such matters seriously and can order the employer to pay pending dues along with compensation.

 If a company does not pay salary, employees can first demand payment in writing and, if unpaid, pursue remedies through the Labour Commissioner, civil court, or higher authorities, depending on their employment category and the seriousness of default.
