Dear Sir,
I was employed with Kailash Shipping Services Pvt Ltd, New Delhi branch. I worked from July 2008 till September 2013 (Five years)after the company entered into an merger agreement with Apollo Figge Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of Apollo Tyres Ltd. When the branch was set up our management insisted on getting the branch registered with the labour department under the Delhi Shop & Establishment Act 1954 which was duly agreed and a certificate to this effect obtained from the concerned authorities.
when I resigned from my services I applied to my organization for encashment of my paid leave entitled as per the provisions of the provisions laid under the Delhi shop & Establishment Act 1954, and requested the organization to release the encashment amount for 60 days accumulated leave. My organization. Despite my several reminders & requests my employers has neither responded to any of my mails nor has released my due funds. On telephonic query I was informed that the company does not have any such policy in place which was never informed to me in advance.
Kindly advice how can I recover my dues from my employers.
I look forward to your valued guidance.
