Facing Unfair Deductions and Delays in Final Settlement – How Can I Ensure I Get Paid?

I worked with this staffing/outsourcing company for an IT major for around 7 months as an IT recruiter. I quit as I had better opportunities and served notice for a month. The final settlement was supposed to be done after 3 months, as they told me. I was fine with it, but now the company does not pay the full amount I was supposed to receive, nor does it provide my leave encashment reimbursement, and also makes deductions from my salary. My offer letter clearly states I am entitled to leave encashment and does not mention any deductions to be made upon my resignation.

In this case, I have tried talking to HR, but they are not supportive in this regard and state that the payroll team handles it. The company's payroll team sits in Hyderabad, and I am in Bangalore. What do I do next to ensure I receive my due share? Please guide me in this regard and help me resolve this issue.

Thanks.

You can write a letter to your HR Manager and inquire about your full and final settlement, including details of any deductions made from the amount. I hope this approach will be effective. Alternatively, you can also reach out to your HR Manager, Head of Department, or even your Boss if HR is not being supportive to you.

I have already done that and tried contacting them, but now they are not even replying to my emails as well as my calls. How do I proceed in this context?

Payroll Team Location Issue

Plus, the Payroll team is in Hyderabad. The Bangalore team says they have to do it, but they never respond.

I appreciate your position. In this case, you should approach the COO/CEO of the company and apprise them of the full facts of the case and your problem, with a request to address it or guide you toward an amicable settlement. Before doing so, please ensure that the resignation you tendered is in conformity with the norms and rules of the company in question.
