1. Are you a probationer or a permanent employee? Are you the only employee whose salary has been stopped? Have you been issued a notice by the company?

2. Your rights and remedies will be subject to the answers to the above questions, albeit you can issue a lawyer's notice to the company if all your efforts to seek an in-house redressal turn out to be futile.

2) if no reply received send reminder

3) it appears your organisation wants you to leave hence not paying your salary on time

4) contact a local lawyer if no response received to your emails

In that event meet the higher echelons of the company and request them to reason out why your salary alone has been stopped. If this does not produce the desired result then issue a lawyer's notice through a lawyer.

Dear Querist

First of all send a request to HR department to release the salary, if the employer is not ready to make the payment/release the salary within 7 days of that request then send a legal notice through advocate and demand your money along with interest and notice charge, if they are not ready then file a civil suit for recovery of money or file a complaint before labour Commissioner or file a case before Labour Court.

if your employer is private concern then you can't file writ petition but you have two options first you can file civil suit and second is to file complaint before consumer forum because you have serve your concern. if employer is govt. concern then you have right to file certiorary writ under article 226, before high court. salary neither be stop by giving notice nor without notice. in exceptional condition employer can stop salary. notice is mandatory in termination from job. in order to take legal step first you send a notice regarding causes of stop your salary then you can file case.

1. The company has accused you of being inefficient and has asked you to resign your job.

2. Your dues will be paid, as per the company, only when the payments from the targets given to you are received by the company.

3. Since you are a permanent employee the company must have graded your performance previously. If yes, what were the grades given to you?

4. Your legal remedies include the right to challenge the finding of inefficiency and/or to sue the company if your dues are not settled.

5. The company can refuse to pay your dues only if you have not achieved the targets you were obligated to achieve.

6. You may issue a lawyer's notice to the company after having a conference with him.

A. Your Reporting Officer had come to conclusion that you are a non performer in this company and not reached the target up to the mark. So the management stopped the salary for obtaining Resignation due to confirmed employee.

B. Is there any Review officer to analyze your performance ? What was your last appraisal with respect to your performance ? Is there any method to determine your performance? What about your colleaguesperformance compare with your performance?

C. In case your job depending upon target achievement, your reporting manager should have analyzed your performance every month and this report shall be referred to Review Officer then it should be communicated to you by giving warning letter. So prior intimation regarding non performance is mandatory.

D. Once you become a non performer, your reporting officer or the management has to find out your mistake and give one more opportunity you to achieve the target by giving more ideas. This procedure and Job Responsibility area structure and Review or Reporting Officer must take all these cares in the limited companies in respect of confirmed employees.

E. As per the terms and conditions of the Appointment Order, the management has reserved the right to take any action while non performance committed by the employees. But the management has failed to take necessary steps as mentioned above in your case. However, you can seek 3 month compensation subject to failure of the management procedures or company policy. Or issue legal notice to the management to give one more opportunity. Or Resign the job the management will settle your arrears claim as mentioned by you.

1. It is clear that you are not desired in your Company,

2. The allegations may be right or wrong but are immaterial since your Company, being a private set up, has clearly informed you what do thay want from you,

3. If you do not resign, they will terminate you giving notice and in that case you will not get any release letter,

4. It will be difficult for you to get a fresh job if you are terminated,

5. No pint taking up the matter legally and resignation and seeking fresh opening is the best option here.
