Hi,
My company has been delaying my salary every month for the past few months. To be exact, the basic salary should be credited to me at the end of each month, but I'm receiving it mostly the following month, sometimes even delayed until the second week of the following month. I have heard that there is a law indicating that salaries shouldn't be delayed beyond the 7th of the next month.
Currently, I am considering leaving the company as I cannot tolerate the situation any longer, and I have received an offer from another company. I am not particularly concerned about the delayed salary (today is June 9, and I have not received my May salary yet). The resignation notice period required by my company is two months, but the job offer I have is urgent. So, my question is, can I avoid the two months' resignation notice period by citing the salary delay as the reason? Can I leave the company immediately based on this reason? Would a 24-hour notice be acceptable? Even if the company deposits my salary tomorrow, I have already made up my mind to leave. Would leaving in this manner be considered a breach of contract, especially when the company has repeatedly violated labor laws by delaying salaries? I am willing to forego receiving the latest salary if I leave promptly, though by "immediately," I do not mean abruptly. As a professional, I will ensure a smooth handover of my responsibilities to my replacement or another colleague. I can manage this transition for a week for the benefit of the company's workflow and my professional reputation.
I appreciate your response. Thank you.

Jimmy, Leaving the company without completing the exit formalities is not a healthy trend. Discuss with your management and decide. Pon

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am very confused with this situation. Please help me.
I am now unemployed and studying a professional course. I worked in a company for only four months. My PF and ESI deductions were Rs. 924 and Rs. 254 per month. I went to the HR Department of my company and asked for PF formalities. According to my company's HR, I cannot withdraw my PF as it requires a minimum of 6 months of employment in the company. He suggested transferring the PF. I am aware that it can be transferred, but I need the money now as I am unemployed. I resigned from the company on March 1st, 2011. It has been almost 3 months since then. Upon inquiry, I found that I can withdraw my PF. I do not wish to return to my office and argue with the HR team. I want to proceed with the withdrawal process myself.
I have my PF number, and I know the PF office in the Bangalore region that is associated with my company's establishment code. I possess my salary slips, joining letter, and a valid bank account number with a passbook.
My question is, how can I withdraw without the assistance of the company's HR, and what is the procedure? Over the past week, I have been unable to find the exact answers from those I have asked to explain the scenario. Please help.
