Salary Put On Hold On Account Of Extension Of Leaves: Please Help Seniors

Dear Seniors,

Im working in a manufacturing industry in chennai as HR Executive. Presently im facing a big problem here.. pls help to sort out the issue.. The problem which im facing is,



1) I was on leave for 7 days due to my father’s surgery.

2) Before leaving, I had informed to my HR manager on the issue and also had got prior leave permission from him and submitted the same to my admin manager,

3) Unfortunately I had to extend my leave for another 4 days(7+4=11 days). This is bcos of delay in discharge by hospital authorities.

4) After 11 days I came to office and I was shocked to hear from my admin manager that my july month salary was kept on hold. This is bcos I had not informed previously regarding that 4 days additional leave which I had taken.

5) When I approached my HR manager, he said that he had no idea on that and also he has not complained to admin manager regarding this.

6) Im sure that admin manager should have purposely stopped my salary bcos of not informing to him.

7) Why should I inform to him when my reporting head is my HR manager?

8) I accept that the only mistake which i made was that not informing to HR regarding that 4 days additional leave which i had taken.



Pls help me what to do?.. can I take any legal action against the admin, or should i speak to MD reg this or what should I do?.



Thanks and regards

Just to request to the HR Manager along with the discharge paper that the leave extension was due to the genuine reasons and unfortunately the information for the extension of leave was not given. And insist to the HR manager to send this information through the proper channel to the administration manager for the release of salary.
In the absense information with administration manager, salary was kept on hold and this was a genuine action at his end.

Just discuss this issue with HR/Admin and close. It is trivial issue. why are u talking of legal action, blah, blah?

Hi Matheen,
First of all why do you want to take legal action, if so against whom are you gonna take. Is it the admin personnel or the company? Who generally handles payroll, like sending the final information to the finance dept? If your salary is kept on hold, you shall send a mail requesting for the same to be credited to your account.
If you are not getting response to your mail, then you shall escalate this to the higher authority. You have to send in the request to your immediate supervisor/reporting manager, marking a cc to finance department.
Just stay calm and move situations ahead, rather than concluding things/facts without giving them a chance/try.
Good luck!

Dear all,
thanku for all the valuable replies. as directed by Mr. Mahesh, let me speak to my HR head and then will wait for the final call regarding the issue..
