My office incentives and dues not paid My office incentives and dues not paid

1 year ago

Respected sir
I am working in private garment firm since 2005 as a fashion Designer.
my boss promised me incentives on sales in 2010 saying "we would not increase your salary but would pay you incentives every year"..very cleverly he did not make this agreement on paper it was a mutual agreement...For 10 years i was surviving on the same salary and none of my incentives were paid ..at every financial yearend there would be arguments regarding the same .In 2020 there was lockdown and we were made to sit at home. Post lockdown i was allowed to come to office only for 11 days ..now the boss is saying we cant have you back at office and is not willing to pay my dues of 10 years incentives and 15 years service charges ( gratuity etc ) i was not sent any notice of my removal from office neither have i given any resignation letter to them..is it possible to avail my dues under such conditions.. please give me advice sir..
i am struggling for my genuine rights .
Regards.

A.Hello Sir,
Since the legal agreement on incentives is not there so there are less chances for get the incentives but about the gratuity it's your right to get it. As the employer must pay the entitled gratuity within 30 days after the officer directs the company to do so. If the company still fails to do so, legal action can be taken. In case, if the employer is found guilty, he can be jailed for 6 months to 2 years.
