I joined a company on the 1st of this month in the sales department. The HR of the company said the job is not target-based, and your salary is fixed. I joined the company on the 1st itself. After that, I am regularly asking for the joining letter, but the manager says, "Wait for some time; we will provide you the joining letter." Now, on the 30th, the HR manager rejects giving the joining letter and says that you have a target-based job and have not achieved the target, so we will not give you any salary or letter now. They are giving us a lot of excuses like, "You don't work in the office, you are not serious towards your work," etc.

What can I do now? Please help...

It is a very unfortunate event, but consider yourself lucky that you have discovered the issue within one month of your joining. If the company is refusing to give you an appointment letter, then you may write to them (under acknowledgment, obviously) asking for your appointment letter. Let them refuse in writing. In the meantime, try to gather as much documentary evidence as possible to prove your employment so that even if they refuse your employment with them, you have documents to prove it.

Salary is generally paid between the 7th to the 10th of each month. If there is a delay, it may attract a penalty and interest. If your salary is due, again ask them to clear the dues in writing with proper acknowledgment/receipt of your letter.

You have not mentioned whether they gave you any letter (LOI or offer letter). Did they give you any identity card? Did they provide you with a visiting card? How was your attendance being recorded? Did you fill out any ESI form? These details are required to understand the situation and advise you appropriately.

Before that, it's more important to secure all documentary evidence to prove that you really worked there. Especially since this is the only month of your service there, it may be considered premature to take any precipitated action for non-payment of salary. But I presume you should have given them a joining report at the time of joining itself, on the very first day. If so, check whether you got it acknowledged by HR. If yes, it may be good enough. You should have also signed the attendance register. It's too early to take a combative stand in your early days of your career. Have patience. Mind you, this is your probation period and anything could happen. Check with your colleagues how they were treated and what has been the practice there. Maybe you still have not made any impact with your performance. Why don't you consider accepting a minimal target? Who knows, if you are determined, you could achieve bettering the target itself. Try to be proactive always. All the best.
