Am i getting justice? Am i getting justice?

1 year ago

I have been working as a sales person in a private company. My shift timing is 8.5 hours. And sometimes they make me stay after my shift hours. Like if if my shift is 11:30am - 8pm sometimes they make me stay till 11pm and or 12pm. Is is legal for women to stay at store in night?
Also they are not paying anything for overtime.
They are saying that i have to work for min. 4 hours extra to get half day complimentary off.
So if i work for 2-3 hours extra i get nothing. Is it legal?
And sometimes i have to work from 6am to 12pm.
I.e, traveling to another city and do sales.

And all of this affects my health.
And the company only provides 1.5 leave every month. There is no other leave like casual leave or sick leave of paid leaves.


Also, they pay my salary at 10th of every month.
Is that okay?

Also i have been verbally Harassed by an employee few times and they have done nothing. And they put my personal no. On social media for marketing and i got cheap calls and video calls.
I want to leave but they cut an amount from my salary as security. And i cannot get it before 1 year of service. It was a contract on A4 paper.
Can i file a case against them?
