Meri company ne salary nahi di hai. Main kya kar sakta hoon?

Simple answer

Aap iska claim kar sakte ho. Code on Wages ke hisaab se monthly salary agle mahine ki 7 tareekh tak milni chahiye. Na mile toh 3 saal ke andar labour authority ke paas claim karo. Authority extra compensation bhi dila sakti hai.

Real-life examples

Tiruppur ki ek garment unit mein Ramesh aur uske 20 saathiyon ko 7 April tak March ki salary nahi mili. Unhone labour authority ke paas ek joint claim kiya. Authority poori salary aur baaki amount ka 10 guna tak compensation dila sakti hai.

Pune mein sales manager Fatima ko lagta tha ki wage law sirf factory workers ke liye hai. Lekin Code on Wages mein managers aur supervisors bhi 'employee' hain, isliye woh bhi claim kar sakti hai. Pehle usne HR ko written reminder bheja.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1HR ko written reminder (email ya letter) bhejo aur fixed date tak salary maango. Copy sambhal ke rakho.
2Saboot jama karo: appointment letter, salary slips, bank statement, attendance record aur HR ke saath chats.
3Apne district labour office mein labour authority ke paas wage claim karo, ya jahan available ho wahan SAMADHAN portal par online.
4Salary due hone ke 3 saal ke andar claim karo. Same problem wale saathi milke ek joint claim kar sakte hain.
5Badi amount ho toh legal notice aur recovery ke civil case ke baare mein lawyer se poochho.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Wage payment wala chapter government establishments par tab tak lagu nahi hota, jab tak sarkar use apply na kare. Government staff apne service rules aur department grievance system use karein.
Agar aap contract labour ho aur contractor paisa nahi deta, toh principal employer (jis company mein kaam karte ho) ko pay karna hoga. Ye rule wahan lagu hai jahan 50 ya zyada contract workers lage hon.
