My company is not paying salaries and it's not providing any ESI or PF facility to employees

My company has not been paying salaries for the last two months and it's not providing any ESI or PF facilities to employees. It's a news channel.

Hi,

As per the Payment of Wages Act, the company is required to pay employees' salaries by the 7th of the following month. If there is any delay in payment, the company is liable to pay interest as per the legal requirements.

If an employee's salary has been pending for the last 2 months, it is advisable to contact the Labor Inspector under the Payment of Wages Act. (If the salary is Rs. 18,000/- per month)

Thank you.

All laws are being violated by this news channel, including non-payment of PF, ESIC, and salaries. If you are in a group, you can consider approaching higher management. Is the salary not being paid to all employees or just a few? Employees within the same company can determine whether the financial problems are genuine or if management is being unscrupulous. The PF commissioner and ESIC can be contacted with complaints about not subscribing to these mandatory schemes. It is advisable to take joint action in this matter.

Thanks for your reply. The chairman threatened the employees that he will terminate them if anybody goes to the labor inspector. Do you suggest any route for this?

Mukkanti007,

Omelette can be made without breaking an egg. Accept the risk in going to official agencies or accept late payments and have less savings/protection like PF/ESIC. It is difficult, but then this is a fact of life.

Hello Mukkanti,

Regarding your line "the chairman threatened the employees that he will terminate them if anybody goes to the labor inspector," that is bound to happen if one or a few employees go. The only way to handle this is for all the affected employees to go to the labor inspector. If not, the ones who went will surely be targeted by the management. As Nathrao mentioned, "Omelette cannot be made without breaking an egg" (he meant this rather than 'can,' I presume). Let it be a collective action rather than individual or by a few. Also, suggest looking for other jobs in the meantime ASAP.

All the Best.

Dear Friend,

It seems your organization is exploiting your services and threatening... Where did your channel is functioning?

Firstly, all of you are not getting a salary or wages or in kindness or some of your friends along with you are not getting a salary?

In the case of some of the people/employees are getting a salary, they may ignore you and others who are not getting a salary..better in that case you certainly have an attendance sheet, daily presence is being marked by someone..get a copy of the same or take a mobile click... it is very much essential...

Secondly, Whether all of you have got a letter of employment or working on word of mouth?

Thirdly, Are all of you have a bank account for crediting in your respective salaries or you are all being paid by cash?

Fourthly, Have you got your terms and conditions or work contract clearly furnished?

In the absence of any of the above, it means you are all being engaged for exploitation... better approach the labor officer and put up your complaint in writing for better action...

Can a dispute be raised in civil court besides in the labor court for a workman on non-payment of salary, as labor court processes are too slow.

My employer is not giving me my full salary as per my offer letter. My salary was marked as 20000/-, but they only credited 4000/- to my bank account.
