Dear Seniors,
Im working in a manufacturing industry in chennai as HR Executive. Presently im facing a big problem here.. pls help to sort out the issue.. The problem which im facing is,
1) I was on leave for 7 days due to my father’s surgery.
2) Before leaving, I had informed to my HR manager on the issue and also had got prior leave permission from him and submitted the same to my admin manager,
3) Unfortunately I had to extend my leave for another 4 days(7+4=11 days). This is bcos of delay in discharge by hospital authorities.
4) After 11 days I came to office and I was shocked to hear from my admin manager that my july month salary was kept on hold. This is bcos I had not informed previously regarding that 4 days additional leave which I had taken.
5) When I approached my HR manager, he said that he had no idea on that and also he has not complained to admin manager regarding this.
6) Im sure that admin manager should have purposely stopped my salary bcos of not informing to him.
7) Why should I inform to him when my reporting head is my HR manager?
8) I accept that the only mistake which i made was that not informing to HR regarding that 4 days additional leave which i had taken.
Pls help me what to do?.. can I take any legal action against the admin, or should i speak to MD reg this or what should I do?.
Thanks and regards

Just to request the HR Manager along with the discharge paper that the leave extension was due to genuine reasons. Unfortunately, the information for the extension of leave was not given. I insist the HR manager sends this information through the proper channel to the administration manager for the release of salary. In the absence of information with the administration manager, the salary was kept on hold, which was a genuine action on his end.

Hi Matheen,
First of all, why do you want to take legal action? If so, against whom are you going to take action – the admin personnel or the company? Who generally handles payroll, such as sending the final information to the finance department? If your salary is being withheld, you should send an email requesting that it be credited to your account.
If you do not receive a response to your email, then you should escalate the matter to a higher authority. Send the request to your immediate supervisor or reporting manager, cc'ing the finance department.
Stay calm and work through the situation rather than jumping to conclusions without giving it a chance.
Good luck!
