My sister's salary has been unethically held by her last firm.

Few months back, she had joined an interior designing firm. The company had not given her any Appointment Letter and the salary would be given by cash. The long and inhuman working norms at her office had started causing severe back problems because of which she had no option but to resign (since there was no appointment letter there was no agreement or clause regarding the serving of notice period).

She informed them on 6th October about her intention to leave on 8th October.

Now her salary for the Month of September and one week of October has been put on hold. They have told her that her salary would be released only when they are able to find a new person in her place and when the project that she had been working on is completed by the new person.

There is no set time period in which the full and final settlement would be made and if there condition was to be followed it could take a month or even an year. And seeing there unethical behaviour i have my serious doubts whether they would release the salary at all.

I would be highly obliged if you could help with this matter and provide the necessary guidance regarding the legal and the non - legal actions that can be taken in this case.

if they donot release the salary with legal notice than you have to take help of the court.if she has not got appointment letter still she might be having some proof of employment.

Thank you sir for your valuable guidance. Would attendance record be considered a proof of employment ? The firm had also placed cctv camera's at strategic locations and the video recordings in those would also show my sister working there.

Dear friend , attendence record of office cannot be removed.it is sufficient proof of attendence. She should demand her salary with interst. Because after every 30 days an employee is supposed to be paid for his work. Date of payment could vary from office to office. Gpagarwal.lucknow
