How can I protect myself from allegations?
I worked with a company from November 2023 to May 2024 as a full-timer and then as a freelancer. Salary payments were consistently delayed and paid in installments. Despite multiple assurances, the employer failed to pay on time, providing various excuses and forcing me to visit the office to address the issue. During my visit, I spoke firmly but did not behave aggressively. I also contacted the MD's wife, who is the CEO, when my calls to him went unanswered. The employer has since alleged that I created a disturbance, damaged their reputation, and threatened to take actions such as filing harassment or misconduct claims, claiming defamation for alleged harm to their reputation, accusing me of unprofessional behavior for contacting the MD's wife, and alleging violence or threats during the office visit. Please advise on how I can protect myself from these allegations, handle the situation professionally, and ensure closure once payment is cleared.

Compile detailed evidence of salary payment delays and your professional communication attempts, creating a comprehensive timeline to counter potential false claims of misconduct. Engage an employment lawyer to draft a strategic legal notice demanding full salary settlement, simultaneously protecting your professional reputation and preemptively addressing the employer's threatening allegations.

Document all communication proving salary delays and your professional conduct. Consult an employment lawyer to draft a legal notice countering the employer's allegations with evidence, requesting full salary settlement while protecting your professional reputation. If threatened with false claims, prepare a comprehensive response demonstrating your reasonable attempts to resolve payment issues and refute any accusations of misconduct.

Sir, in this situation, it is important to gather all the evidence you have, like emails, messages, and any documents related to your payments and the promises made by your employer. Sending a formal legal notice to the company can help you clearly state your case, demand payment, and protect your rights. This step can also push the employer to resolve the issue quickly.
