• Grievance for original certificates, relieving letter & non-payment of salary

We are around 5 employees resigned from xxxxx Pvt.Ltd due to non-payment of salary, mental pressure we were going through because of bad management polices & unorganized structure by giving reasonable time. Even after sending “n” number of reminders through emails, management is not ready to listen us.
Few of us already approached the Labour officer but till now there is no resolution from Labour officer even one of our colleague filed complaint to labour office one year back & still case is going on.
Company management is not ready to give us our relieving letter, appraisal letter, pending salary, reimbursement & original certificates even after giving reasonable time through legal notice.
Without relieving letter none of the organization will provide us employment so could anybody advise how to get the above mentioned things.
We filed the police complaint also but no response.

If your company is not giving the relieving letter and your the documents you can file suit for declaration in Civil Court in order to get the same

Also, a suit for recovery of the pending salaries can be filed in civil court .

Alternatively, insolvency petition can be filed in NCLT in order to recover your salary is along with interest and compensation.

You should also consider giving a written complaint to the assistant Labour Commissioner intimating of the illegal acts of the company against you and the other employees.

1) The relieving letter should be issued the same day when you’re going to exit from the company. If the company does not issued the relieving letter it means that your resignation is not accepted and also still you are employee of the company until unless the company issue the relieving/ accepted resignation.

2) Issue a notice for demand of justice to the employer mentioning all the facts. If there is an agreement between you and your employer arbitration clause should be therefollow the arbitration clause or file a civil suit for redress your grievances.

They cannot sit over your original docs, since this is a criminal act. Move a Police complaint against the Directors of the Company.

Also, since they are sitting tight over your dues, initiate proceedings for winding up.

Hello,

You have already exhausted the appropriate remedy of approaching the Labor Court.

if there is a delay on part of the court and the matter is not being decided expeditiously then you may file a petition in the HC u/s 227 thereupon asking the court to pass a direction that the matter be decided in a time bound manner.

Sir for the reliving letter and documents approach labour court further since the opponent is company approach NCLT for dues file an Insolvency petition against the company. First issue a demand notice as operational creditor as employees are operational creditor then if not paid in notice period file insolvency petition.

The police will not be of any use on such labor law issues.

You can file a suit for recovery of salary and direction to employer to furnish experience certificate and relieving letter.

Next option is to approach high court directly for relief and remedy.
