How Can Teachers Legally Challenge Private Schools for Withheld Salaries During Covid?

I worked with a private school for two years, and they withheld my salary along with my security deposit due to Covid. Initially, they harassed me, and later they threatened me on several occasions. I would like to understand what legal measures are necessary to hold these private institutions accountable for not paying salaries. Additionally, what are the Covid guidelines regarding wage payments to teaching staff?

On matters concerning the payment of wages for teachers in private schools not aided by the government, you can approach the Labour Department. At the same time, for service matters, you can approach the District Education Officer (DEO). When a complaint is initiated against the school, it is better to keep the DEO in the loop.
