Dear Sir,
I was working in an organization for the past 8 years, and they started deducting for the past 6 1/2 months. Recently, when I was on an official tour (I was working in marketing), there were issues with my increment. I asked my immediate superiors, and they wanted me to speak to my Managing Director. I called my MD over the phone, and he instructed me to come to the Head office the following week. However, to my surprise, when I reached my station (my branch office), all the emails/folders in my (official) system were deleted. Despite my inquiries, there was no response from my colleagues or superiors.
The next day, my superior informed me that it was a management decision regarding the increment. Anyone questioning it would be asked to resign. I expressed my willingness to accept the decision and continue working, but my superior insisted that I submit my resignation. I tried to contact my Managing Director from my official mobile, but the service was suddenly stopped. I then called my MD from my personal mobile, and he also requested my resignation. Consequently, I submitted my resignation, which was duly signed and stamped by a colleague at my branch office. I requested my superior, the Managing Director, to expedite my settlement. It has been almost a week, and I have not received any communication from them. I am seeking your advice on how to proceed further.
As per my appointment order, the relieving period is 90 days, and I am eligible for leave salary, and any applicable bonuses.
Please advise on the next steps.
Thank you.

Dear Sir(s),
I was working in a private limited company in Tamil Nadu, India. I was working as a Senior Manager in the Sales department. Last week, I was on an official tour, and our company had given an increment to all the workers/staff. I was not happy with the increment, so I spoke (over the phone) to my immediate superior, who asked me to speak to his superior (who is in charge of the sales department). When I spoke to him, he asked me to speak to the Managing Director, and when I spoke to the M.D., he wanted me to come to the head office (I was working in the branch office) by the following week. I informed the same to both my superiors and started working (while I was on the official tour).
To my surprise, when I came back to my home station after the business tour (on Friday - 10.07.2015), all the details, mails, offers, and other folders on my desktop were completely deleted. When I asked my colleague, he replied that he didn't know (there are only two staff in our office - one is me and the other is my colleague). I immediately reported the issue to my superiors and to my MD by mail from my personal ID.
On Saturday, 11.07.2015, afternoon, I got a call from my immediate superior, and he told me that it is the management's decision to give the increment, and whoever asks for more will be asked to resign. Even though I said, "Ok sir, I shall accept and work with this itself," I was forced to submit my resignation letter. Then I called my Managing Director from my office mobile, but the services were disconnected. I then spoke to my MD over the phone, and he also told me to resign, saying that I shall be relieved immediately. I asked him immediately about my settlement (my notice period is three months), he replied that he was not in the office and shall check and reply on Monday (13.07.2015). I then submitted my resignation and got a copy of the same duly sealed and signed from my colleague after handing over all the documents.
I sent an email to my MD on 14.07.2015, but to date, I have not received any reply.
As per my appointment order, I am supposed to receive gratuity (since I was working for eight years), three months' notice period salary, bonus, and leave salary.
Can anyone help me on how to proceed further in getting the same?
Thanks

When you have been so abruptly terminated and treated so ruthlessly, there is no other way than legal proceedings to get your dues released. You could probably send them a written request asking for your dues as per the appointment order. You must specify that you have been forcibly made to resign and ask for your dues. As a matter of fact, you should take them to court for illegal termination. Asking for an increment is not an offense.

I worked with a Delhi-based Pharma company from 2nd April 2002 to 15th April 2015 as a second-line sales manager. I resigned from the company on 15th April 2015. The company is refusing to settle my leave encashment salary dues. My basic salary was 6500, DA nil, and the total salary was 32500. The company was giving leave encashment to the previous employees at the time of final cash settlement. The company is saying that I only have 2 months' worth of Basic salary, i.e., 13500 Rs as leave encashment. Please guide me on what might be the actual amount due from the company as my leave encashment. Also, if the company refuses to pay the amount, what legal actions can I take against them as per the Sales Promotion Employee Act?
