Bogus Salary Slips from HR: How Can You Take Action When Management Ignores It?

Addressing Bogus Salary Slips

What should be done if HR is providing bogus salary slips? Where should one lodge a complaint for investigation and action in cases where top management is not concerned about this issue?

Dear Colleague, in any company, such "bogus" documents are not encouraged in most cases. The suggested way is to first explore the internal redressal mechanism.

Internal Redressal Mechanism

There may be an Internal Audit Department, Help Line, Corporate HR, or Top Management to address such malpractices and rectify them. If these avenues prove unresponsive, the next step would be to file a complaint with the inspecting authority under the Payment of Wages Act. If your establishment is a factory, you can approach the Director of Factories in your area. If it is a shop or establishment, you may seek remedy from the Labour Enforcement Officer or Assistant Commissioner of Labour.
