Hi, I was working in a company with approx 150 people strength, We had multiple issues regarding Salaries and most of the people have resigned from the company. I have resigned from this org in Nov and still searching for a job.
We have pending salaries from Apr 2020. We moved to WFH mode from March 2020 before lockdown. At that time we had minor salary issues, Salary was coming in 50-55 days cycle, nobody cared as this was happening for some time.
Since then everything collapsed and during the lockdown and all, it went on adding to months and it was peak lockdown and there we no opportunities around so all stuck to this itself. By Nov it became unsustainable hence most of us resigned. So by end of Nov 9 months' salary is pending.
In addition, company has not paid PF for almost 2 years out of which they have deducted for 9 months. Aug 2019 to Mar 2020 (FY-2019-2020). In FY 20-21, since salaries are pending dont know whether they will remit the PF or include in salary and pay us (if they are paying). At last, what we heard is the company, as of Dec 2020 the managers were asked to resign and is closing down, nothing official still there are employees yet to put resign. But still, the company is not marked "exit" for any of the employees in the EPFO system.
To add there is no response to queries as there is no proper HR in the company now. So not sure who will approve any requests raised via the EPFO site.
I require some guidance in the below queries :
1. Can I mark exit myself and withdraw money from PF since I resigned in Nov?
2. If I get a new job or I mark Exit myself on EPFO site whether the previous employer (the above company) can still remit the money for old period.
3. What can be done legally to get the pending PF and Salary?? The company doesn't have any physical assets in India. The owners are not Indians (part of an overseas group) and hence Indian directors are employees, not owners.
Any guidance on the above will be very helpful for a group of people.
