What happens if I don't clear FnF Settlement?

A friend of mine left a small startup (less than 10 people) because they were paying him peanuts inspite of high workload (9am to 11pm, remote work) and were not willing to give any raise (they were paying him less than 50k per month after working for them for 6 years). They often used the carrot dangling tactics where they would promise him and the others for "bright future ahead", which would eventually fizzle out to nothing but excuses. Now that he has left, they are not clearing his FnF settlement of last 2 month's salary but are asking him to return his laptop. They are saying that they don't have any money and the current clients are not paying anything, and they can only pay when the clients pay them. Can they take any action if he decides to not return the laptop till his FnF settlement is cleared ? PS: the laptop is clean, no monitoring software installed. It had been completely formatted before being given to him. So it's as good as a personal laptop.

Hi its been 45 days company hasn’t paid me for the last 40 days, today I completed 45 days and now they are stating that FnF closure is 45 working days so you can expect 60 days. They haven’t sent me any calculation as well but all I got to know is they f you up in fnf. Any legal action which can be taken or the FnF contract is 45 working days? While the document said “within 45 days of reliving”

Hello good folks of grapevine! So, I resigned from my last job last year in November. As per the company policy I was promised that my F&F will be settled 45 days after my last working day which happens to be the first week of Jan'24. For some reason the signed documents got delayed from my end by 10 days. It's been more than one and a half months now and my F&F is still not credited. I keep calling the HR and that bitch literally gives me the same shit over and over again that "the signature from the CFO is pending". I'm really confused about what to do. Is posting on LinkedIn a good idea or will it affect my career? The amount is significant, hence I don't want to risk it. In case there is a legal procedure to this, what are the next steps? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Context- I am at a startup with salary and allowances not being paid for almost 6 months now. I plan on to quit within the next 10 days (it’s very scary). How do I ensure that they don’t fuck me over with my dues and make it a painful process? What are the things I need to ask for in my resignation mail?

Let’s say I leave a company after 2 months. What would happen if I don’t return their joining bonus. They have a clause in offer letter that says I should return the amount if I leave before a year.

I need some understanding about this as it is my first job. My lwd is Aug 22 but the FnF date given was September 30 . why is it not Aug 30? My salary cycle is 15 to 15.

Hey folks! 🌐 Joined X out of necessity. KT for 1-2 days, then POC and client tickets. 🔒 Credentials revoked, told client issues. New guy in team, no intro, he got my creds. 📊 Reporting shifted to HR, no work assigned, sensed possible layoff. 🚫 No communication, red flag, forced office visit despite injury. 💰 Salary received, PF deducted, no passbook data, doubtful deposit. 🔄 Y offered better opportunity, hid X on resume, got and accepted offer. ❓ Should I have told Y about X? Concerned: 1. Tell now, they may understand or revoke. 2. Keep quiet, can they find out later via background check? 🤷‍♂️ Policies differ, but it's about people, not policies—understand or do shit. LinkedIn: X-> 300-400, Y -> ~4000 (layoffs recently, so numbers might decrease).
