Issue With Full And Final Settlement
I resigned from my organisation in Feb 2018 and got relieved from duty in March 2018. I received hard copy acceptance of my resignation in April 2019. I was relieved from duty after completion of all necessary official formalities however my full & final settlement is pending which is a great cause of concern to me. Prior to getting relieved I had completed all clearance formalities as required and instructed to me by the organisation. I have sent repeated requests to HR and Department Head to settle my F&F. There's no CEO/ MD higher up whom I can send. Chairman is not reachable. Department Head & HR Head is the highest authority. No replies so far. What should I do?

Since you have already served a notice on the Company, you now need to file a complaint before Labor Commissioner cum Conciliation Officer of the area where you worked. The officer will act as an arbitrator for amicable settlement of the dispute. If no solution is reached, the Labour Commissioner will hand over the matter to the Court, whereby the employee can make an application to the Labour Court under Section 33 (C) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. If the Court is satisfied with this application, it shall issue a certificate for the amount to the Collector who shall proceed to recover the same as an arrear of land revenue. Please make sure that you make such an application within one year from when the money became due to you from the Company. All other benefits such as Provident Funds, capable of being computed in terms of money, shall also be included in the amount to be recovered. If you are an employee above the executive level or a manager and above, you have to file a case against the Company in the Civil Court for compliance of the terms and conditions of your employment contract. And lastly, if you have been personally affected by any of the Company's fraudulent activities, you may be entitled to seek penalty. If it can be proved that the Company was involved in fraudulent activities because of which you weren't paid your salary, then you can intimate the Registrar of Companies of the suspected fraudulent activities of the Company, and subsequent measures shall be taken under section 447 of the Companies Act. You can also file a criminal complaint against the company under the Indian Penal Code.

Dear All, I was working as an Senior IT consultant in a company for last 2.2 years and suddenly terminated unlawfully cause of poor performance. Before the termination they did send any warning or PIP. In last 2 yeras I was among the top performar in the office. I requested to senior manager to reconsider the termination. They asked for few times and called me for full & final settlement. I got the cheque for full & final settlement but yet not received any documents from the company.
