Hello I joined private ltd. firm in October, 2024. The company has not provided me appointment letter and salary slip but credited my salary in my account. When I asked for appointment letter and salary slips the company just forwarded me mail on 20th January 2025 to handover the charge to other person without any notice to me which I did. Now they are not paying my December salary and January, 2025 full and final settlement. I was property manager in the company. Please suggest me what can be done in this case.

Ans: Your employer’s actions are unprofessional and unfair. You have legal options to claim your salary and final settlement.

Gather All Supporting Documents
Bank Statements: Show proof of salary credited for previous months.
Emails & Messages: Keep all communication with HR and management.
Work Records: Maintain any reports, client interactions, or tasks completed.
Company Policies: If you have access to any written policies, keep them.
These documents will strengthen your case.

Send a Formal Email Request
Draft a polite but firm email to HR and management.
Mention your pending salary and final settlement details.
Request a timeline for the payment.
Attach proof of salary credits and work done.
Give them a deadline of 7-10 days to respond.
Written communication creates a legal record of your request.

Send a Legal Notice Through a Lawyer
If the company does not respond, consult a labour lawyer.
A legal notice can push the company to clear dues.
Mention your job role, tenure, and pending salary.
Demand payment within a reasonable time.
A legal notice increases pressure on the employer.

File a Complaint with Labour Authorities
Private firms must follow labour laws regarding salary payments.
Visit the local Labour Commissioner’s office.
Submit a complaint with all supporting documents.
The department will issue notices and mediate with the company.
Labour authorities can legally intervene in salary disputes.

Consider Legal Action in Court
If all else fails, you can file a case in labour court.
Courts handle cases of unpaid salaries and wrongful termination.
A lawyer can guide you on the legal process and expected timeline.
Legal action is a strong step but ensures justice.

Finally
You have every right to claim your salary and final settlement. Follow a structured approach—start with written communication, then escalate legally if needed. Employers cannot deny rightful dues without consequences.

I worked for a private PMC company with appointment letter later after four months they were unable to pay salary and assured us by mails and what's up messages that, they are having some financial problems and requested to continue and pending salaries would be released soon and later stopped taking calls, We have resigned but they have not settled our account and now again become active. What action can be taken.
Ans: It's unfortunate that you're facing this situation with your former employer. Gather all relevant documentation related to your employment, including your appointment letter, emails, WhatsApp messages, and any other communication regarding salary payments and promises made by the company. Having a record of these interactions will be crucial for any potential legal action. Reach out to the company via email or written correspondence to remind them of the outstanding salary payments and request immediate settlement of your dues. Clearly outline the amount owed, the period for which you worked without compensation, and any promises or assurances made by the company regarding payment. If the company fails to respond or refuses to settle your dues, consider seeking legal advice from a labor lawyer or legal aid organization. They can assess your situation, advise you on your rights and options, and help you take appropriate legal action to recover your unpaid wages. Depending on the jurisdiction and labor laws in your area, you may have the option to file a formal complaint or grievance with the relevant labor department or regulatory authority. Provide them with all relevant documentation and information about your case, and they may investigate the matter and take action against the company if warranted. If you see other employees are also affected by unpaid wages or mistreatment by the company, then consider organizing collectively to amplify your voices and increase pressure on the company to resolve the issue. This could involve forming a group, sharing information and resources, and coordinating efforts to seek redress through legal channels or public advocacy. Throughout this process, it's important to protect your rights and avoid taking any actions that could jeopardize your legal standing or future claims against the company. Keep records of all communications, consult with legal experts, and be prepared to assert your rights if necessary. Stay informed about any developments related to the company, including changes in ownership, financial status, or legal proceedings. This information may affect your ability to recover unpaid wages or seek other forms of recourse.

Remember that recovering unpaid wages can be a complex and challenging process, but by taking proactive steps, seeking appropriate guidance, and advocating for your rights, you can increase your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome.

Hello Sir, At present I am appearing Class 12 boards. I want to do research work in human psychology as my career. In which discipline I should do my Bachelors for the same? Is doing MBBS is the only way to reach out in research field? Thanks
Ans: Hi,
Kindly formulate your query in a detailed manner so that the experts on Rediff can provide you with better solutions. If you don’t provide enough information, it will be difficult for them to assist you, as the gurus need to make informed predictions to answer your question. This platform is more transparent than others because you can see the profiles of the experts available here. Therefore, be open and provide precise details. Please note that the platform does not require personal information, and you can post your questions anonymously if you prefer.

Undergraduate (UG) degrees provide foundational knowledge, including how to conduct research. In postgraduate (PG) studies, you generally build on those basics. After completing your PG studies, you can engage in research, either full-time or by pursuing a PhD.

An MBBS degree is also just a basic qualification and is not the only gateway into the research field. You can conduct research in a variety of fields, including arts.

If you are particularly interested in human psychology, gather basic information on the topic and proceed accordingly. There are various aspects of human psychology, so consider which area you would like to specialize in and plan your path from there.

ALL THE BEST

POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO.

Relationship
I have a crush on my colleague recently. We started as a friend but one day we get drunk on one of colleague house. We talk about life and love. I asked about his ex. He told his past relationship story how they break up. I also shared some of my past situationship. We live in a same colony. So we came back home together getting drunk I told him you can lean ur head on my shoulder. And he suddenly lean his head on my shoulder and he was sleeping and I wake him up when we reached our destination. He takes me to my house and I suddenly hold his wrist. I don't why did I hold him and next morning he yes hi (call my name)how are you I didn't respond properly I'm just like yeah good after that he seems to avoid me a lot he didn't talk to me much I caught him looking at me sometimes but it might be coincidence. I think he doesn't like me
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand it must all be very confusing but I would suggest not jumping to conclusions. You think he doesn’t like you, but he might be thinking the same since you did not respond to him properly the next day. That could have triggered his current behavior. If you have feelings for him or if you even miss him as a friend, I would recommend you to clear the air with him. Just talk it out- you can explain how things got a little heavy the other day and that’s why you didn’t speak to him nicely and apologize if that made him feel bad. If even after that he continues to avoid you, then you will have better clarity.

Hope this helps.
