litigation is long drawn and expensive proposition

2) it is not in your interest to sue your employer for delayed appraisal

Dear Client,

By complaining labor commissioner, u can recover left over which would have accrued if appraisal was made on time acc. to contract.

Sir, you can firstly issue a notice/ reminder to employer for your appraisal if he donot respond file a complaint before labour commissioner he shall try to reconcile and ask your employer to pay if your employer donot than pay then matter shall be put before labour court.

The labour court shall promptly decode the issue.

Hi, you can sue them but i don't think it will help to you.

For delay in preparing your annual appraisal report, you cannot sue your employer.

Did you try to obtain reason for this delay or not preparing your annual appraisal report.

First ascertain the reason and then plan further action on it.

Firstly, yes you can do that but subject to other conditions of your agreement.

Secondly, as they must have added something in it to safeguard themselves from the present situation.

Need to g through your contract then would be able to advice precisely.

1) To sue employet in the court is not problem, if any how you have sue them in court it's ok.

2) The legal cost and you will be receiving three months difference cost you have to compare it, otherwise you can go with compromise with the management and have talk with them or you expecting appraisal agreement higher than what you have received it now.

3) Whether you company is private or public limited please clarify.

These are very common in the corporate world. the appraisal and subsequent raise in the salary normally takes some time and in case you are taking any legal action against the company it means you are not interested to work there annual appraisal be done accordingly so it is your call the to go legal for this matter if you have any problem you may go to the High Court and file a mandamus writ for harassment against the CEO of a company.

I have done many cases like this. Filing a case against an employer is not easy as he is likely to have better resources. However, this does not mean one should back off. There are several laws that are aimed at protecting the rights of employees.

As you stated that according to your contract, appraisals were supposed to be done in 1st week of October but appraisals were done at the end of January and delayed by three months. So please understand the company also owes you what it promises as per your contract, be it monetary benefits or otherwise. If the company fails to give you the dues, you can drag it to court.

You can approach the human resource department of your company in Pune. It will be in a position to explain where you stand legally and will help resolve the issue. You can also lodge a formal complaint directly with the department and should give it adequate time to evaluate your situation and suggest a solution. If you are not satisfied with the response, you can file a court case.

In case of a violation of your contract, you can file a case in a civil court. Cases of mental harassment can be filed in the civil court as well as a criminal court, if you add the charge of criminal intimidation. Consult a lawyer to see if your case can be settled through arbitration or by a labour tribunal as this is easier and more cost-efficient.
