Dear Sir/Madam,
I joined an events company as a project executive on 28th January 2013. The appointment letter shows 1st February, though. After working for the entire month of February, I was terminated yesterday, 4th March 2013, for not being able to bring business to the company within this month (we had a monthly target of 500,000). The termination email also mentioned that they would withhold my salary, which is payable on the 7th of every month.
My question to you is, are they liable to do such a thing after making me work for the entire month without providing me with prior notice? I must mention here that my prospect list was taken away under the pretext of helping me out with it and given to someone more experienced.
Thank you.

Dear Ankita Mam,
Thank you for your quick reply. I am an MBA fresher. This was my first job. My fixed salary was 16,500 + incentive. They justified giving the joining date on 1st Feb by stating that in the previous dates, they were providing us training, so we should pay them instead.
My appointment letter states:
A) Your appointment with us can be terminated by you after confirmation on giving two months' notice or by forfeiting your two-month salary.
B) Your appointment can be terminated by us at any time without any prior notice if your work is not found satisfactory, and the company reserves the right to either withhold or not withhold your salary.
What is bothering me the most is that they took away my prospect list under the pretext of helping me with it. Can I at least ask them to pay me my salary?

Dear Ankita Mam,
They terminated me over email. Let me copy and paste the content for you. The reason given was for not being able to bring in business for the company. I am unsure about what an F&F is, honestly. Yes, Mam, I worked here from 28th Feb to 04th March 2013.
Dear Ekta,
This is to inform you that you have been terminated from your job as your work was not found satisfactory, and you have not produced results. The company reserves the right to withhold your salary as you have not even brought in a single business deal.
Please hand over all the data, documents, and visiting cards entrusted to you to Mr. Hemant.

[QUOTE=ektachakraborty;2033813]Dear Sir/Madam,

Dear ektachakraborty,
According to labor law, employers cannot withhold anyone's salary. You need to approach the Conciliation Officers, Labor Commissioner of your jurisdiction for your salary issue; it is your right. Nobody can hold your salary. Just ask for clarification as to why your salary is being withheld by the company. Ask for a show cause notice and submit a fresh grievance letter to the Labor Commissioner attaching the reply to the show cause notice from your company for the reason for withholding salary. You are entitled to your salary, not for the incentives.
Thank you.

Hi,
Out of curiosity, were the prospect lists that were given to someone else generated by you, or were they given by the company? Did you keep the company informed of what you were doing each day and what the status was of each contact or prospect you processed? Or was the company completely in the dark until the last day? Were you the only person recruited, or were there others? What has been the success or otherwise of the others? Were you the only one terminated?

Our company is new in Delhi. We were not given any database, so I started making a database of my own and kept a follow-up. We also had to email a DSR (Daily Sales Report) to our senior every evening before leaving. We called them the prospect list, those who had a chance of becoming our clients or with whom we were keeping a constant follow-up, and the response seemed positive.
There are 5 of us who joined. One among us has also been able to bring some business. The rest are in a similar condition like me, though I was the first to receive the termination letter.
