Corona Time Lay-off:
My relative is a private school teacher in a developed city of Gujarat since few years. She did not received any salary since first corona lockdown (April-2020) till today, although only partial salary was received for March-2020. Now the school refuses to continue the teacher without giving any notice period or salary. This is a CBSE School - English Medium.
The School administration is practicing many mal-practices since many years like:
* They had not provided any kind of joining letter to her like offer letter or appointment letter to prove her employment, although employee ID card is with here. She is continuous employee here since many years.
* They deposit complete salary in private bank salary account and take away more than 60% of salary back in cash next day itself. But no evidence is available to prove it.
* The school terminated her without giving any reason, termination letter, notice period or compensation.
* The school management has threatened us verbally, that if we take any action against them, then they will not allow us to get a job at any other school/office and put defamation case against us.
* They have refused to provide any experience letter.
* There is just professional tax deduction in their salary but no EPF deductions.
Can we complain in labour office, DEO, CBSE office, state education office etc. or which is the relevant department to complain?
Can we claim any compensation?
Is it good to complain or forget everything and search for new jobs?
Kindly guide me what to do and share any such relevant information.
Thanks in advance.
