A.Dear Client,
The Company is not allowed to withhold your Full and Final Settlement amount after the resignation. In no way, the company can reject the settlement in this situation. In order to address the default, you can send a legal notice to the company and demand for the recovery of settlement amount. You can also file a complaint before the State Labour Commissioner regarding the unpaid settlement dues. Further, if your concerns are not addressed, you can file a suit against the employer under Section 33C(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 and seek for the recovery of amount. If you are not covered under the definition of workmen in Section 2(s) of the I D Act, then you can file a civil suit. You can file a case before the jurisdictional civil court under the Order 37 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 and seek for the FNF settlement. If required, you can consult an advocate for advice and compliance.
Hope it helps.
Thank you

A.Dear Client,

If an employer withholds an employee's Full and Final Settlement dues upon cessation of employment, it constitutes unfair labor practice. In such a scenario, serving a legal notice to protest the employer's actions is necessary. If the employee is classified as a workman under the Industrial Dispute Act, filing an application under Section 33C(2) before the State Labour Court for claiming dues is recommended. If the employee holds a managerial or administrative position, filing a civil suit before the Civil Court is the appropriate course of action to seek relief.

A.Dear Client,
On cessation of employment of an employee, the employer cannot withhold his F & F Settlement dues. Such an act on the part of the employer is amounted to unfair labour practice. In the prevailing situation, you need to serve a legal notice protesting the arbitrary and unethical action of the employer and if you are not holding the position of Manager/Supervisor but a workman as defined u/s.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act then for such an arbitrary and illegal action, file an application u/s.33C(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 before the concerned State Labour Court claiming dues from your employer. In case you are holding the position of Manager or Administrative Officer in the Company, you have to file a civil suit before the Civil Court for appropriate relief.
