Can a Company Be Sued for a Breach of Labor Law?
The company in question is a BPO and is accused of breaching the following laws:
1. The company has fewer than 50 employees and yet releases the salary between the 10th and 13th of the next month.
2. Working hours are 9 hours per day, excluding a 1-hour break for lunch/dinner, etc., six days a week.
3. Making an employee work overtime (2-4 hours extra) without compensation.
4. No state/national/sick leaves are allowed, and no compensation is given for the same.
5. Employees are forced to work overtime until targets are met (no overtime paid), even if it involves tasks outside their designated duties.
6. Making an employee sign any company memo without providing a copy, stating that it is company property.
7. Salary is blocked for 2 months if an employee requests leave.
8. The company's legal registration is doubtful.
Legal Action Considerations
If yes, can legal action be taken after the employee leaves the company or while still employed?
Can an employee ask for compensation for all extra worked hours and applicable state/national holidays that are not compensated?

Note: The employee only has a letter of intent mentioning their working hours, salary, designation, and salary slips.
