I joined on the 11th of October 2013 at an ad agency. However, they did not provide me with an appointment letter. They paid my salary by cheque for the month of October on the 11th of November. Unfortunately, on December 7, 2013, they informed me that my employment was to be discontinued. Since then, they have not paid my salary for November and the 7 days of December, leaving 38 days' worth of salary pending with them.

As it is an ad agency, it might be small in size with limited manpower and no organized or professional way of operating or existing. Expecting a comprehensive appointment letter from such an agency does not always come to fruition. It is advisable to have a family member or friend discuss your employment details and demands with the agency owner and kindly request the release of your due salary. The issue of pending salary payments can only be resolved through mutual understanding and agreement. Hopefully, taking the above actions may assist you. Thank you.

No they are not giving salary by mutual talk. Instead of that they r saying that u can go to court.

If they are straightway rejecting your request, then a written complaint can be lodged in the respective area's office of the Labor Commissioner, presenting facts/proofs of your employment and hoping for a solution. Valuable comments from senior members of the forum would be more helpful and effective. Thanks

Dear Skavita,
In my opinion, as they are steadfastly denying payment, you should first write them a letter stating that your salary for a specific period is pending and remains unpaid despite several reminders. Clearly mention that if your account is not settled within the given time frame, you will approach the Labour Authorities.
Send this letter via Registered AD and also CC the Labour Commissioner of your area. Ensure that your complete and correct address is provided on the letter. If they still do not respond, you may proceed to the Labour Office for the recovery of these dues.
Hope this guidance proves helpful to you.

I have sent them 2 letters through registered AD. They replied that they are paying me professional fees and said that they were free from the job once I refused to do it, which was wrong. In short, they said that I am not a laborer. They also told me to go to court.
