Dear Experts,
I was working with a startup based out in Noida. Last month (May 2020), my manager called me and told me to go on 'Leave Without Pay' - Verbally. However, I haven't received any formal notice regarding LWP or suspension notice. I want to know how I can claim my salary. What would be the right procedure? The company has put just three employees on LWP as a part of politics, and they are doing well in terms of Revenue Generation. All of this is causing me a lot of trauma and depression, as I was at the peak of my career. I want to teach a lesson to such companies that ruin the careers of aspiring employees.
Thanks

No Neha - don't resort to such violent actions and reactions. Politics in the workplace is a hyped concept. Don't succumb to it!
Practical advice: Please tender a resignation notice to your employer clearly stating reasons. Here, the burden of action will now lie on them - not you. Let them decide for themselves. For sure, they will take it to written terms - as you always wanted. As part of your appointment letter - you are free to resign at your own will anytime you want - serving a notice period and your salary will be processed as part of FNF, legally. Be professional in your communications, please.
Plus, search for a job outside of your current organization - aggressively. You will never be better off at this place, it seems. Better, change your job for good.
