 Also, the updated law you're referring to hasn't been notified as yet, just FYI

The law updated in 2023 - “if an employee has been – (i) terminated or discharged from service; or (ii) economized or has resigned from the organization, or has been unemployed if the company has been closed, all the salary settlements related to the employee have to be paid within two days if terminated, dismissed, economization, or if the employee has resigned."

What are our options if company is not following the law?

Basically the title. Did one of these about a year ago and thought I'd do another one.

A bit about me - I'm a lawyer, I specialise in startups, international law (especially concerning Web 3) but have worked in a boutique role (basically, 0-100 everything legal).

Disclaimer - Obviously none of this is legal advice. This is for entertainment purposes only. The answer to most queries is "it depends" because a lot depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.
Please do not take this to be legal advice or commit and act or refrain from committing an act based on any answer or comment here.

Thank you, look forward to all your questions!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

We expected our pending salaries to be resolved, but they've repeatedly delayed payments for June, July, and September, even neglecting FnF for laid-off employees. The ongoing layoffs are causing significant mental and financial strain. We're uncertain about receiving our dues. What legal avenues, like legal notices, have proven effective? Any suggestions for law firms or lawyers experienced in such cases?

Legal options for Dunzo employees

Software Engineer

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.

Startup not clearing fnf settlement but asking to return the laptop

Frontend Engineer

So I just completed my notice period and everyone else's payroll has been processed but the HR is saying that FnF will take 45 days as it is company policy and is pretty standard.

But this wasn't told to me when I joined nor is it mentioned anywhere.

When I showed her the employee agreement and The Wages Act - 2 day fnf rule, and asked her to "...please update me on this today itself", she asked me to stop ordering her and being unprofessional and to only reach out to her via email. 

I reached out via call because when I texted her on slack about the payroll, she ignored it and then I texted on WhatsApp and she herself called me.

Is this normal? What should I do?

fnf taking 45 days???

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”

With all the things going around including companies taking employees for a ride, why do you think officials in governing bodies are not solving for labour laws slightly even in favour of employees? 🧐
How can private folks help or influence officials to change the labour laws. 🤔

Until then we will always see folks feeling cheated by their companies, big or small. 😥🫣

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

My brother works at a telecom company in Bangalore and has resigned on Apr 1. However, the company is refusing to pay him for 15 days of work saying he worked from home.

In reality, he was only supposed to wfo for 6 days of those 15 days. He has been incorrectly marked absent. He has suggested that they can cut 6 days of his salary if they wish to, but not for the remaining 9 days.

Additionally, an ex-employee said that the company will delay his FnF amount and relieving letter for 2 months. 

He relies on this monthly income for expenses, and a delay can cause financial stress. Plus, his future employer may have issues in hiring if he is not able to produce a letter.

Need help in deciding what he can do to ensure he gets his pay and letter on time.

Harassment by employer

Product Manager

There's a clause in my offer letter mentioning I won't be paid for the entirety of my notice period until my exit date. Unfortunately due to problems in my previous company, I didn't go through that section properly and agreed to it. I wanted to ask if it's legal first and if not, what options do I have?

AI Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

If an employee in the team resigns, and stops contributing to work, delays tasks and misses deadlines. What should his/her manager do to resolve this?

Resignation and work

I'm currently working on an FTE job - wherein the offer letter its mentioned "During the term of your employment with the Company, you may not engage in any employment or act in any way, which either conflicts with your duties and obligations to the Company, or is contrary to the policies or the interests of the Company."

Now, I'm getting enough time and I want to consider working in a 0-1 startup, and the new company I'm joining will know about my current employer - The above mentioned is the only clause the current employer have regarding working in other company. Can the current employer legally put a case anytime in the future if they get to know this? - what are the loopholes I can use here?

What position I can join in as (Consultant, Advisory role) - Still an early career professional in order to avoid conflict afterwards.

Thank you for your help!!

Needed quick Legal Advice - On Moonlighting

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.

How many days is it valid to wait for FnF settlement post last working day
