How Can an Employee Recover Deducted Pay and Service Tax After Short Notice Resignation?

Deduction on Account of Short Notice Pay and Service Tax Liability

One of the employees, working as a deputy manager, left the job by giving 45 days' notice. As per the appointment letter, it should have been 90 days. However, the HR Manager agreed to waive off 45 days in the presence of the departmental head. But while processing her last month's salary and credit leave, it was noticed that the 45 days' amount had been deducted, and a service tax was also charged. She had also handed over the charge within 45 days.

Can somebody help me to know what options are available to recover the 45 days' pay and service tax? What is the legal position in favor of the employee and the employer? Please also let me know the process of checking replies received from experts.

Please see the reply posted today on your other thread on this subject. However, service tax liability is not required to be deducted from the employee. Include this part also in the complaint to the inspector under the Shops and Establishment Act. Furthermore, make a complaint to the authorities under the service tax for the wrongful deduction of service tax from you.

Thanks,
