Facing Delayed Salaries and Unfair Dismissals: What Are My Legal Options Now?

MangLZ
I worked at a part-time job company. The contract clearly mentions the date for the salary to be credited and also includes a "30-day notice period" if an employee must quit or the employer must terminate an employee. We never received our pay on time—sometimes a month, sometimes two—delayed consecutively, creating significant financial hardships.

A bunch of our colleagues were fired without warning; they had done nothing wrong. The above two instances are clearly a breach of contract.

Due to the irregular salary payments, I had to seek full-time employment and found one. However, I forgot about the notice period I needed to serve. Since this was only a part-time position, I took my new job and served my notice period on the side, completed it, and received my relieving letter but not my pay.

It has now been over six months since my last salary was due. I have given a legal notice to my employer. What would be the legal consequences for this? They are up for a stand.

Instead of sending a legal notice, you should have directly gone to the Labour office and narrated the incident to the officer concerned. They would have helped you to get your unpaid salary paid. Approach the labour department.
