No, if you know a bug would be coming soon, and act like you don't know how to repair it.

Point it out on linkedin . Attach timelogs on when you performed the work for application during which he refused to pay you.

So as to go legal when he tries monkey tricks legally

Hey guys, I used to worked for a startup and built their Android and iOS apps but after 3 months my contract expired. 

They still made me work but refused to pay, now that I have completed their apps.

The startup is a home loan provider and the founder is pretty much a scammer.

What should I do to get my payment for this month?

I worked with an early stage startup for 3.5 Years. Since this January they started facing a fund crunch and delayed our salaries. I left the job in May but till date they haven't paid me 3 months salary. Upon asking they say they don't have funds to pay salary, we will pay when we close our funding round. What should I do in this case. Should I wait and hope they will pay or just forget about it any suggestions?

Salary not paid by startup!

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been working there full time. Still they aren't able to pay for last 5 months. Whenever I ask them about salary, they justify it by saying that they are trying to get funds, but to get the funding we need to create the product first.

To take care of my family and myself, I am working as a freelancer in the freetime. I don't know what to do?

Please suggest your views on this.
Thanks

[Advice] I am currently working in a startup. I have worked there for over 8 months, but only get paid for 3 months. What should I do ?

The founders are sayings that they’re in process of raising the funds and have been delaying the salary payment deadlines every time. What are my options in case they don’t pay the salaries at all. Is there any way I can push them to make the payments asap. Any legal route or and advise grapeviners.

Not being paid for last 3 months. What are my options?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am currently doing an SDE Internship in one of the startups in gurugram. Initially I was given a 6 month intern + full time offer, all went well, but in the last month this company is revoking full time offers of some interns  and extending the intern offer to 3-4 months. What should I do in this case ? I am literally scared right now?

Unfair practices in startup revoking FT offer

Hello I belong to an edtech startup in bangalore, The company has not paid me and the other emoloyees for past two months. No idea what to do here! suggestions are welcome.

salary delayed for last two months

Hi, I interned at a startup for frontend developer for 6 months, January was my last working month as I had my college exams and this startup still hasn't transferred my unpaid salary for January, I called the owner today and he was saying that he will not give salary because he did not like quality of work. He had fired 3-4 people citing the same reason in previous months and they still have not received their salary.

I told him that I will proceed legally and he threatened me that I can call whosoever I want and in return he would mail my college to block me from placements and will not give experience letter

What should I do?

Is it possible to deny salary if owner didn't like the quality of work?

Hey guys, I have two years of backend experience and currently working in a Intex start-up. Right now. They are paying way below the market standards and they are trying their best to hold our bonuses this year. I heard some conversations in the boardroom that how they’re planning to hold of our bonuses. All the top goers are planning to leave the company this year and the companies due to shut down soon. I would be grateful if somebody can refund me to their company and I can join it as soon as possible. Thank you

Looking for job

Let's talk about being highly underpaid. It's a reality many of us face, yet it's often shrouded in silence. Whether you're in a corporate job, a creative field, or any profession, feeling undervalued and underpaid can be demoralizing and unjust. It's not just about the numbers on our paycheck; it's about the recognition of our worth, our skills, and our contributions.

Too often, we find ourselves in situations where our hard work and dedication are not adequately compensated. We put in long hours, go above and beyond our job descriptions, and yet, when it comes time to discuss salaries, we're met with excuses or paltry raises that barely keep pace with inflation. It's a cycle that perpetuates feelings of frustration, resentment, and even imposter syndrome.

But here's the thing: We don't have to accept being undervalued. We can speak up, advocate for ourselves, and demand fair compensation for our efforts. It might be uncomfortable, and it might require us to challenge the status quo, but it's essential for our well-being and the integrity of our professions.

Employers need to recognize the importance of fairly compensating their employees. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about fostering a culture of respect, appreciation, and mutual benefit. When employees feel valued and adequately compensated, they're more engaged, productive, and loyal.

So, if you're feeling highly underpaid, know that you're not alone. It's a widespread issue that deserves attention and action. Whether it's through salary negotiations, seeking out better opportunities, or advocating for change within our organizations, let's stand together and demand the compensation we deserve. Because when we value ourselves, others will too.

Are you getting underpaid?! I know it sucks🤦🏻

1. Most of the time it sucks because you're comparing and that'll always take your joy. In some cases, you're not underpaid but someone else is overpaid. 
 2. When you don't have a job, you'll appreciate being a bit underpaid too. 
 3. Not all people can take the risk of standing against the organizations. 
 4. Indian labour laws suck and that's why the culture of fair compensation is just a joke. 
 P.s.: Everyone should know their 'market' value and they should always aim for the highest of the range.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Back in 2021, I joined a small company as a fresher with a promised CTC of 3.2 LPA and a 3-year bond. However, after joining, I discovered the actual base pay was only 1.8 LPA, and my monthly salary was just 10,500₹. So, after five months, I broke the bond and joined Accenture as a fresher. 

Now, almost three years later, the previous company's advocates are sending me notices demanding 3 lakh rupees as bond repayment, and I even received a notice from the court yesterday. 

I'm not sure what to do next. 
Do you think this will affect my future job prospects? 

I have records of that company in my PF account, but I don't consider it as part of my work experience. 

Do you think future employers will ask for documentation for all companies listed in my PF records?

Broke Employment Bond: Legal Notice from Previous Employer

I'm working as a Frontend developer (SDE-1) with 1.5yoe, I joined this startup 4 months back. Earlier I was getting paid 9lpa and later I was offered 12lpa without even asking for my previous compensation. I accepted because my earlier organisation was very toxic. Now coming to the point, 

I came to know that for the same level and same role they're paying 16+lpa. And this is making me mad at them. 

Within 3 months I'm handling 1 of their 2 products (customer facing) all alone. And I'm doing great work tbh (not boasting) but if they have 10 major features. I have developed 4 of them all alone, solved really critical down time bugs and improved the product. 

Now I own this product and if any bugs come, I'm the person who's assigned the work.

I want to have a chat with the Founder but I'm not sure what to say and he's a guy who will try to save the money at all costs. 

I'm really mad at this point of time and I'm planning to leave in a few months. 

If I have a chat with him and he says something harsh, I will resign then and there I'm triggered to this level. 

And there was no kind of appreciation from them, I'm taking most tickets during the sprints and delivering quality code, communicating well and thinking in terms of product, if there is anything which can be improved I ask from them.

How do I have a chat with him and what do I say?
Current CTC - 12lpa
Expected CTC - 16 - 20lpa
YOE- 1.5 (planning to have the call around 3-4 months later), so I will be almost 2 yoe by then.

Pay disparity in my startup.

You are being paid 75% of what others are being paid at the same level. 
  
 Reduce your inputs by 75% to achieve fair parity (no. of tickets or work hours or whatever). 
  
 Use the saved time to prepare for your job switch.

I joined a startup in 2021 with a 6 LPA package. After about a year I learnt that one of my colleague, who had joined 3 month before me, and who's from the same batch (2021) as mine is being paid 12 LPA for the same role, even though I'm much better than him in terms of programming knowledge and development skills. Learning that killed all the motivation I had to work and now I feel cheated and deceived. How should I deal with this situation ?

I'm being paid 50% of colleague for the same role.

My employer has this system of group of companies coming under one single startup umbrella. He has been delaying my salary for the last 5months with 2.5months worth of salary still pending. Now I got job outside and wanted to resign as soon as possible now. 

Last month he moved me into a other company inside the group, I signed a new offer letter. But the salary from that company for aug month hasn’t received yet. Now can I resign without mentioned notice period stating that I didn’t received my salary yet?

My company has not paid by last 3 months salary, should I need to serve notice period

How can i leagaly get serving letter if i have absconded

Hey, this is first time working for small startup, it's been almost 2ywars now and this company os not giving me salary slip, I have asked a few times but they keep ignoring the request. Also, being a small startup i don't get any ppf and other benefits. How should I go about it. I have recently heard that not being on ppf may let new recruits doubt about the credibility of work. They have lot of pending salaries and not having salary slip makes it difficult to trak how much is pending and how much I have recieved. 
Any suggestions will be helpful.

My company is not giving me salary slip

Product Head

So I interviewed for a local startup kind of and they gave me task which I completed in around like 2 weeks and now they are starting my stipend but I feel like after accepting the offer that company wouldn't be beneficial for me since it is local startup not from metro city and the technologies they are using are also kind of old is what I belive, so what should I do and since I have been jobless for long time because I was unsure of what to do next so I don't want to let go of this opportunity please help!!!

Dilemma of joining

Welcome to Gadgets & Apps's Private Community

Few weeks watched a reel from a famous influencer about this app where he shared the benefits one can gain from it and i did download the app and tried to open it and yet the app didn’t open even after my multiple tries so I uninstalled the app. 

Today, i did try to install it once again as i had to do my mobile phone recharge. 
I added the money to the wallet (3k) and then went on to do the recharge.
My recharge wasn’t successful and yet the money got deducted from the wallet. 
I have lost my 3k.

I did complain about it and still there is no response from their end. 
I even tried to call the helpline number and yet no response. 

Can anyone help me what to do now in such cases?
Can i get my hard earned money back?

Please share your knowledge and help me with it.

I have lately realised that many people have fallen for this scam and have lost their money. 

I don’t know how come PlayStore still allow such apps to run such scams.
