Dear all
As an employee, I need to know the following. I have worked with a company for more than 6 months. I was not paid the salary for the last 2 months. I decided to resign offering notice period service, which was immediately accepted. I had 2 laptops of the company issued to me as an asset. I do not need the laptops and I wish to return them to the company, but I am not sure whether they will pay me the full amount after I submit them the assets, during the full and final settlement. Its a very small company, which does not follow all rules perfectly.
I got a mail from the HR mentioning that I need to submit the assets first, and the process of salary settlement shall be done soon after. I doubt their words. Am I legally right in holding on to the assets till my salary is given to me? I am thinking of giving the assets only after the salary reflects in my account, as I am not even sure of the cheque being issued by them- that may bounce any time. Is it legally right? If yes, what precautions should I take? If no, what is my perfect legal recourse, without losing unnecessary time and money?
Regards
