Hi,
I am worried about my husband's job. First of all, let me give some details as to how it all started so that it gives a better understanding of my situation.
I am Goan, and my husband is from Mumbai. We are currently residing in Goa for the past year on rent. My husband applied for a job in a BPO as a Sr. Tech Support and was hired based on his past records and capabilities.
When he was hired, he was given a letter of intent mentioning that he will receive his offer letter after successful completion of one month and that his working hours will be 9 hours. The salary was also mentioned, but no other information was provided.
Now, my husband has been working for over five months, and still, no offer letter has been given to him despite several reminders to the management and the manager. Every time they end up saying, "Don't worry, you will get it." At times, they even say, "Why are you crying for the offer letter? Just work."
On the contrary, the management keeps changing their internal rules as per their wish without any official letter or memo given to the employees, including my husband. Their working hours have been increased to 10 hours without any overtime pay. No PF, ESIC, or other employee facilities are given. One day off is randomly given, which they cancel if they decide to hold any management meeting on that day. No sick leaves or any other leaves are applicable. Even the state and national holidays are not followed or compensated as per labor law. If any employee does not come to work without prior notice, then three days' salary is deducted, and they have to work an extra three days without payment in lieu of the one day's absence. My husband had applied for an emergency leave for a week, and his salary got blocked for two months. There are a lot of discrepancies in the salary slip, to which the management does not give a duly reply. They just end up saying, "If you did not get a day's salary this time, then wait for the next salary." My husband is frustrated, and so am I. He is planning to leave the company without notice, but the problem is that they pay the salary only after the 10th of the next month. So, he has to work for another ten days to get his salary for this month, and they will block his ten days of work.
Please guide as to what needs to be done.
Thanks

It seems that you have posted 2 queries with the same content.
The remedy for your query is to approach the District Labor Officer and complain, but beforehand, it is advisable to search for a new job. The Labor Officer will take the employer to task if you have sufficient evidence for the complaint made.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I did post 2 posts with similar contents as I wanted a reply, as the situation was going out of hand and felt that my spouse was getting exploited by his employer, not to mention the pain of seeing my spouse going into depression, creating problems in our married life. I am so grateful for your reply.
We will do as you say, and we do have proof of what's happening in the company because it's not only my spouse but all other employees working with him who are facing similar issues. However, no one wanted to come forward because of the fear of losing their job or maybe they did not know what to do.
Not all people are aware of the labor laws and let themselves be exploited by their employers. I am a professional myself and know the labor laws to some extent but did not know how to proceed or whom to contact.
Thank you again. I will keep this forum updated about this issue so that others are aware and come forward and speak about their issues.
