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.
