non payment of dues non payment of dues

5 years ago

Hi, Thank you for your time and attention. I was working or a company called Wardrobe Treasures for almost 6 months whereby I i first started as freelance merchandiser or 2 days a week and later came on board on full time basis. The company had been paying my dues Late,but yes every month. But when I had put down my resignation and later expected the months salary to be cleared in the coming month, the owners have backed out on their verbal agreement and not even responding to any of my emails or messages now. Its been more than 7 months. Out of trust I had never taken an offer letter from them as it was a freelance agreement and they have been deducting professional taxes too while paying off my dues every month.
I have the emails and many of the messages saying that they will clear off my dues. But now they are backing out.
Can I file a consumer or labour case against them. i am a person with simple and humble earning, hence please do not suggest a very extravagant way. I had already suffered a lot in the months when they lied to me about clearing my payments.

A.Before resigning you should have stated conditions subject to settlement of salary, any dues and obtain the signature.Better to consult a labour and employment and service matter lawyer from panel of Vidhykarya to guide & help you in recovery of dues from the company quickly.

Take up the issue with the company & issue legal notice as per the terms & conditions of employment and your claim and recovery dues.

Thank you sir. Appreciate your suggestion. I was actually planning to check with our local authorities for the North East, as I am from Meghalaya. Well to be honest I did try calling them few times during my off days, but didnt get any response. But will try once again. If it doesnt help will take the next step.

Thank you sir. Appreciate your advice! Well being engaged with a full time job, it does becomes difficult for people like us to follow up and stand up for justice. But I will definitely get in contact with the nearest labour officer and see what step to be taken next.
