Facing Financial Hardship: How Can I Address My Employer's Non-Payment of Salary?

Minu.Sharma
Dear Experts and All Labour and Govt of India Officials,

I, Minu Sharma, am writing to bring to your formal attention a pressing issue that I have been experiencing in recent months due to the non-payment of my due salary by M/S POOJA ROOFING CO (MFG), which is causing significant financial distress for me and my family.

M/S POOJA ROOFING CO (MFG), having office address: Mayfair Apartment NA, 1st Floor Lokhra Road, Lal Ganesh, Guwahati, Assam, India, GSTIN/UIN: 18AAZFP3190K1ZD, is not paying me my July 2023 salary despite multiple requests and making fake excuses. The same incident has happened with many other colleagues, as I learned while working with the organization. This seems to be a modus operandi of the organization to cheat graduates, freshers, experienced, and straightforward female employees here.

I have been a dedicated employee at M/S POOJA ROOFING CO (MFG) from 1st August 2022 to 31st July 2023. Throughout my tenure, I have always strived to meet and exceed the expectations set by the company. However, I am deeply concerned because I have not received my wages for July 2023 as per the agreed-upon payment schedule.

Neither have they given any offer letter nor any appointment letter upon joining. I had been working in good faith all this time, and suddenly I can see the employer is not willing to pay me and is trying to make false excuses. It is the liability of the employer to pay the salary to the employee on time. However, if he denies, refuses, or fails to do so, then the employee can file a criminal suit for cheating and breach of trust under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

Regrettably, the situation has been exacerbated by what appear to be fake excuses provided for the non-payment of my salary. I have been receiving explanations that do not align with the company's standard payroll procedures, leaving me with a growing sense of unease and frustration.

This unforeseen delay in receiving my wages has put me in a precarious financial situation. I have been struggling to cover essential expenses, such as rent, utilities, groceries, and medical bills. The mounting financial stress is not only affecting my well-being but also impacting my ability to perform effectively at my current work.

I sincerely request that you take this matter seriously and prioritize resolving it as soon as possible. Your prompt attention to this issue will not only alleviate my financial hardship but also ensure that I can continue to focus on my family and job responsibilities without any distractions.

If there is any additional information or documentation required from my end, please do not hesitate to inform me, and I will promptly provide it. I am hopeful that we can work to rectify this situation swiftly and amicably.

I appreciate your understanding and prompt action on this matter. I look forward to a resolution that will allow me to regain financial stability. This unfortunate situation has caused significant financial hardship for me and my family, and I believe it is essential to seek your assistance and intervention.

Given the ongoing non-payment of salary and the lack of any reasonable explanation or resolution from my employer, I kindly request your intervention and assistance in resolving this matter. I believe that the Labor Department's and other Govt Bodies' involvement is necessary to ensure that my rights as an employee are upheld and that I receive the compensation I am entitled to under the law.

I am more than willing to provide any additional information, documents, or evidence required to investigate this matter thoroughly. My primary goal is to seek a fair resolution that not only addresses my own financial difficulties but also ensures that my fellow employees do not face similar issues in the future.

I would appreciate it if you could initiate an investigation into this matter and take appropriate action as per the relevant labor laws and regulations. Please keep me informed of the progress and any actions taken in response to my complaint.

The below are the company details against which strict action needs to be taken as per Labor Law, Contract Act, Shops and Establishment Act, Industrial Dispute Act, The Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, Civil Procedure Code, 1908, Employees Compensation Act, 1923, Equal Remuneration Act, 1967, or any other laws as applicable in India:

POOJA ROOFING CO (MFG), Partner/Owner Mr. Anil Beniwal, [Phone Number Removed For Privacy-Reasons] Mayfair Apartment NA, 1st Floor Lokhra Road, Lal Ganesh, Guwahati GSTIN/UIN: 18AAZFP3190K1ZD

I understand the importance of the Labor Department and all Govt of India Statutory and Enforcement Bodies in safeguarding the rights of employees, and I trust that you will address this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

We understand your distress, but this is not a platform where you can lodge a complaint against your employer. You should use the official website of the Labour Department or file a formal complaint for non-payment of wages before the concerned labor officer by visiting their office personally.
