Can I Take Legal Action for a 4-Month Delay in My Final Settlement? Seeking Advice

shashi-kumar1
It's been four and a half months since I quit my job, and to date, I have not received my full and final settlement. I have sent them emails and tried to speak to the concerned representative, but no one has replied. When nothing was happening, I tried to speak to the AVP of the department, but I still did not receive any responses, and my settlement is pending. I have not received my relieving letter as it is issued with the full and final settlement. As per the policy, the HR department mentioned that it would take a maximum of 45 days for the full and final settlement. I want to know if I can sue the company for the delay.

My work profile is Sales Officer.

Hi, it seems your company has been around since 1993. You can visit the office directly, explain your financial crisis, and request payment and a relieving order. Keep legal action as a last resort.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Dear Friend,

As you have already contacted the AVP and other relevant individuals regarding this issue, I suggest that you write an email to your AVP, with a cc to the labor commissioner. In this email, please outline your entire discussion and attach copies of your communications. This will help in addressing the matter effectively.

Thank you.

Take another follow-up from HR and AVP. I recommend you to visit AVP now with all the proofs of other follow-ups taken and give it a last try. Do mention your need to be paid immediately, observe their tone and possibilities, and then move towards the step of gaining help from law authorities.
