Can my employer withhold salary after leaving without resignation?
I leave my job without resignation and they are not giving my salary of 15 days. What should I do?
According to Indian labor laws, while leaving without notice is a breach of employment contract, the employer cannot withhold wages for work already performed - this is protected under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, and you can file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner. You can also approach the labor court under Section 33(C)(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, to recover your unpaid wages, though the company may counter-claim for losses due to your abrupt exit.
Sir, if the employer is not giving your salary of 15 days then you can send a legal notice with the help of an expert lawyer who will help you in understating your rights and obligations. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
