Dear All, I have been working with an organization for the past 5 years. Recently, I was interrogated regarding financial disputes that I am in no way related to. Now, all of a sudden, I have been suspended from my position, and all my assets have been confiscated, alleging many charges against me. All the allegations imposed are false, and the company does not have proof to support them.
For example, one of the allegations states that I am frequently absent from work, whereas my leave record shows that I have ample leaves remaining, and my comp time is also balanced. This is just one instance; they have also put my salary on hold.
Seeking Legal Advice Under Indian Labor Law
Please advise if there is any provision under Indian labor law to file a case against my employer. This situation has really disturbed me. Can I file a case for mental harassment due to this issue?
Please help.

Dear,
As evident above, there are many gaps of information. It is difficult to suggest anything concrete in the absence of information, as asked by members. However, as things stand, an employer cannot take such extreme steps unilaterally. You may have sufficient grounds to take legal action. Being a lady, the law provides ample safeguards and protection to you. Please take advantage of these, and don't get cowed down or become a victim of Workplace Bullying.
Warm regards.

What do you mean by "all my assets have confiscated alleging many charges on me"? Has the Organisation obtained a judicial decree to this effect.

Akakansha,
1. Gather all evidence in your favor first.
2. Don't go to the media at this level.
3. Try to sort out in-house only.
4. See the company's legal jurisdiction clause; if it is anywhere or business location jurisdiction, civil court with a good lawyer is required.
