Struggling with Unpaid Reimbursements and Final Settlement: What Should I Do Next?

I was working with Limited Company as an Assistant Manager-Sales in an off-site location. I worked in the organization for 4 months, and during my tenure, I incurred expenses for conveyance and travel. As per business entitlement, I was informed that conveyance, mobile, and travel reimbursements would be provided by the company. However, during my work tenure, I submitted the bills along with the proforma form of the company for a claim that was not reimbursed. I was only given assurance that it would be reimbursed.

Upon quitting my job, on my last working date, I submitted hard copies of the bills to the company for its reimbursement. HR assured me that it would be reimbursed within 60 days from my last working date. Despite following up with the company's HR for the past 3 months, there has been no response. Additionally, my full and final settlement has not been completed. The only document I have received to date is the relieving letter for August 14, 2015, which was my last working date in the company. I have returned all the company assets, and I have proof of the same.

I also have mail screenshots that were sent to me earlier during my work tenure from the finance department of the company for the processing of my claims, but the reimbursements have not been credited to my account. Despite sending numerous emails to the concerned persons, I have not received any response from their side.

Please suggest a course of action.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Kunal Monga,

As you have all the proof of the discussion that happened regarding your claim, why can't you seek the help of an advocate and send a legal notice to see how they react to it?

Mr. Kunal Monga,

As you have all supporting documents with you, you can take legal action against the company.

Since you have submitted your resignation, handed over all the assets, and received your relieving orders from the company, you can now approach the Labour Officer of your jurisdiction to raise a dispute for non-payment of your full and final settlement. You need to file your application before the Labour Commissioner, who will then take up your dispute with your employer. I also agree with the opinion of Mr. Madan Gopalaswamy in this thread.
