  8. I am Nikita from Delhi, I have been working in company name Digimiles Based in mohali, Chandigarh.
    I verbally told my manager on 18th July 2021 that I got admission in Xavier, mumbai then he said wait wait wait but finally I decided to shoot out the resignation mail as the boss asked me the date of leaving. So I sincerely wrote them the mail but received no acceptance till date of leaving. Then on 4th August 2021 they informed me that it will be my last working day, then also I shoot the mail that I haven’t heard anything and suddenly the company is doing this to me. Then eventually my last day was considered on 5th August 2021. As per company offer letter I was suppose to give notice period else need to leave 1 month salary but served the notice period. Now on 10th is our salary day but I haven’t received a single penny and on asking I was told ki I will not be receiving it anyhow.
    First of all I haven’t received any acceptance till date thta means I am still the part of the company.
    Secondly, I have fulfilled the condition but it was companies decision to release me before the resignation date. They all did this verbally not officially. I really want justice.

  9. I had joined a startup in the middle of the month and worked for 45 days they gave the salary for 15days and after that they terminate me without giving any reason. And they hold my salary. They have mentioned that in probation period they can terminate without reason but they will have to pay or ask for notice but they are not paying me. And they are doing same with few other employees also

    • They have to pay the salary for the working days, so better complain about them at your labour department office, they will take action on them.

  10. SIR,
    My name is Venkatraman.K worked as Dy.Manager (Exports) in M/s.Arvind Remedies Ltd., Poonamallee High Road, Chennai, since 2001-2015. At the time of my resignation they told my dues (Gratuity, Bonus, Leave salary etc) to be settled within a month. Till date i have not received my dues. They are collecting my PF also not deposited in PF account. 60% only deposited balance they are not deposited. I was asked my settlement so many times they threatened me. Instead of giving my dues they file a police complaint. They often changed their office and residence. In my batch 2015 so many colleagues received their settlement.
    Next their son company also worked from 2015-2018 (M/s.Rapid Solutions (I) Pvt.Ltd., Sydehams Road, Periamet, Chennai) They are also vehemently closed their export business and terminated me without giving any compensation. They are also 60% pf deposited in PF office and balance not sent to PF office. Now i am 59 i am not getting pending PF and pension due to non submission of PF contribution for Employer+Employee. My Daughter school fee is pending for want of settlement.
