Hi, I became a part of a startup travel company in February 2016. This company is a division of a holdings company, with a Dubai-based investor serving as one of its directors. The private limited company created in India has three directors who handle daily operations. This company is registered at an address in Pune and operates offices in Mumbai and Pune, employing over 50 employees and consultants.
Throughout the previous year, we faced irregularities in our salary payments. Initially, due to our rapport with the co-founders, we endured, hoping the situation would improve. However, starting December 2016, we experienced significant difficulties in receiving our salaries. My December salary was paid in three installments up until March 2017. From January 2017 onward, we have not received any salaries. I have five months of unpaid salary, in addition to a substantial reimbursement pending. Whenever we approach the directors, they assure us that they are working on procuring the funds. Despite several promises and deadlines, the money has not yet been disbursed.
Options for dealing with unpaid salaries
What are the options for dealing with this company situation? How can we recover our unpaid salaries and other owed amounts? The past six months without salaries have been challenging. We have grappled with housing loans and other EMIs. Some of us have had to borrow money from various sources, resulting in a tough financial situation for everyone. Some may not be able to afford legal fees but are willing to dedicate a percentage of their future salaries towards legal costs from any money attained through legal action.
Seeking professional advice
I need advice and recommendations for professionals in Mumbai who specialize in handling such matters effectively. We are in search of justice.
