What legal action can I take for salary delay and demotion?

In my company, our salary is not paid on time, and without any notice or reason, deductions are made from our salary. The salary date is the 15th, but it is always delayed, and when we ask, we don’t get a proper answer. Even now, it’s been three days since March’s salary hasn’t come. When we went to inquire yesterday, HR didn’t talk properly, and when we tried to speak to the CEO, he started shouting loudly, saying that we are not at the level to talk to him. I am a Team Leader. Now, I’ve received an email stating that I’ve been demoted. Can I get legal consultation on this?

You have the right to receive your salary on time and without unjust deductions. You may consider filing a complaint with the labor commissioner or taking legal action for the delay and unprofessional behavior from HR and the CEO. If your demotion is without cause, you can challenge it under employment law. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
