Company Terminated My Friend Without Paying Dues – What Steps Should He Take?

Dear Seniors,

My friend was working for an FMCG company in Delhi as an ASM. The company terminated him after 4 months of service and didn't pay his dues.

Please advise on the steps he should take.

Regards,
Swati

Dear Swati,

Termination does not mean that the payment will be put on hold, but it completely depends on the reason. Thus, you need to specify the reason for termination so that someone can assist you with your query.

What are the dues held by the company for 4 months of service?

---

The reason mentioned on the termination letter is non-performance and integrity issues.

Dues: Salary, conveyance, mobile allowance.

Dear Miss Swati,

You have been very casual in furnishing the required information. You have not mentioned which month the salary is withheld. Additionally, you have not elaborated on the "Integrity" issue. Nevertheless, a terminated employee is eligible for salary until the date of termination based on their attendance. Similarly, conveyance allowance and mobile allowance also need to be paid until the date of termination. The concerned employee has to make a written application to the employer for the release of pending dues.
