Waiting for Salary 10 Months After Resignation: How Should I Handle This Situation?

After 10 months of resignation and being relieved by the company, the salary has not been received. The employee served the full notice period and received clearance from the company.

With the bare details provided in the query, it is not possible to offer clear advice. It is not clear whether you were in the workman cadre or supervisory/executive category, the nature of work done, the salary amount, and how many months/days of salary are pending. Additionally, it is unclear whether you had approached the employer in the past and the response it elicited.

Yet, it is evident that the employer is not interested in paying you. Since it has been 10 months, you may have to resort to legal means to enforce your claim. Therefore, it is advisable to approach a legal professional.

Hi, What is the reason for the delay in settlement? Is the employer not willing to pay or not in a position to pay (due to financial issues)? Ten months seems like a pretty long time.

Contacting the Employer
Have you contacted the employer in person or sent reminders through RPAD letters? If there has been no response, please contact the Labor Officer in your jurisdiction. Depending on your cadre, you may lodge a complaint.
