Suddenly Laid Off Without Pay: How Can I Claim My October Salary from My BPO Job?

I was working in a BPO in Gurgaon. It was a 30-seater company. I joined this organization on 15 July 2013. On 23 October 2013, when I was waiting for the office cab, my manager called me and said that I do not need to come to the office as there is less business now, so they are retrenching employees. No prior information was given to me. The big issue is that they are not giving my salary for the month of October. They never gave me salary slips, and no PF and TDS deductions were made. The salary used to be transferred to the bank account. Also, they retrenched 15 more employees, including me, and everyone is facing the same issue.

Can you please guide me on how I can get my salary for the month of October?

Thanks,

Kunal

Have you received the appointment letter from this company? If yes, then please go through the clauses of termination of services mentioned in the appointment letter; they will clear your doubts. Generally, companies give an additional one-month salary in lieu of termination of services, which is clearly mentioned in the appointment letter. If you find such a clause in your appointment letter, then first send an email to the official mail ID of HR and ask them to clear your dues. If you still don't receive any action from them, you may consider taking legal action.

Addressing Employment Issues: Steps to Take

I hope you have received the appointment letter that mentions the terms and conditions of employment, including the notice period. Please review it carefully. If the company is not adhering to the terms as communicated, you should approach HR or send an email outlining your concerns. Make sure to include the CEO, MD, and Head of HR in your email and request a response.

Wait for a couple of days, and if there is no reply, consider registering a complaint at the labor office. Additionally, going in a group with other employees who are facing the same issue may help in getting a quicker response from the labor officer.
