Hello Friends, I need your opinion. I was working as an employee at one place and took projects as a business consultant from other NGOs as well as profit-making companies. All of them were without any pay or compensation; I took on these projects only because I wanted to learn things.
When my employer found out about this, he fired me. I accepted the termination, but not the reason, as they labeled it as dual employment, and I knew that I was not an employee of any other organization.
The reason for acceptance was "Abusive language by employer" - "Dhakkhe mar ke bahar nikalo sale ko."
Now, they are not releasing my F&F amount and not even replying to my emails. When I called HR, she said that the Director of the institution refused to release the amount because I was fired for serious reasons and told me not to call her but to contact the Directors directly.
There was no investigating committee where I was given a chance to speak or state my facts.
It's been a month, and I have not received any termination letter or F&F money yet.
Please suggest how to proceed.

Nikola, in this situation, it's crucial to take specific steps to address the non-payment of your Full and Final (F&F) settlement. Here's a practical guide on how to proceed:
1. Document Everything: Keep records of all communication with the company, including emails, phone calls, and any written notices.
2. Review Employment Contract: Check your employment contract for clauses related to termination, notice period, and F&F settlement.
3. Contact Labor Authorities: If the company continues to ignore your requests, consider reaching out to the labor department or relevant authorities for assistance.
4. Send a Formal Letter: Draft a formal letter to the company, outlining your grievances, the amount owed to you, and a deadline for payment.
5. Seek Legal Advice: If necessary, consult with a labor lawyer to understand your rights and options for legal recourse.
6. Follow Up: Regularly follow up with the company via email or registered post to ensure your concerns are documented.
7. Consider Mediation: If direct communication fails, explore mediation services provided by labor organizations or legal entities.
8. Stay Professional: Maintain a professional demeanor in all interactions to strengthen your position in case legal action is required.
