Q: I am telecaller in small finance company,but the owner is DSA agent for banks, I believe he doesn't have DOT OSP licence
The company haven't given me offer letter Or LOJ and after 45days of working didn't pay me my full salary (16k per month) ie Rs.22700 for 46days.
What can I do to get my complete salary, Same thing is done with my 3 collogues, they have been paid zero has salary.
When asked the company said will get salary after 45 days of termination.
All the corporate Rules are being followed only for termination and resignation, but not followed to give offer letter and joining letter etc
Please help me out, your advice will also help 3 others in my situation.
Thank you
A:
Here are a few things you can do in this situation:
1. Check if the company is registered and licensed properly. As a telecaller for a financial company, they need to have the requisite DOT OSP license. If not, their operations may be illegal.
2. Reach out to the other employees in the same situation and approach the owner collectively. Put down your demands for full pending salaries in writing and request a response within a reasonable timeframe. Mention relevant labor laws they are violating.
3. If the response is not adequate, approach the labor department in your state with a formal complaint. Include documentation of work days and pending payments. The state labor authorities can investigate the company and compel payment legally.
4. Consult a labor lawyer. Often a legal notice from an attorney can prompt employers to address grievances like non-payment of wages. The lawyer can also provide advice on next steps for recovering your dues - small claims court filing, out of court settlement etc.
5. In parallel, start searching for a new job. Continuing to work without proper salary payments, documentation, job contract etc is not advisable. Once you find an alternative, put down your resignation immediately.
I hope this gives you some clarity and options to deal with the situation.
