Respected seniors,
Our company closed down its office in Bangalore and moved to Delhi. The employees who were willing to relocate to Delhi had come to Delhi, while those who were not separated from us. At the time of separation, they were told that they would get their full and final settlement within two months, but now it has been more than three months and they have started following up. We rolled out a policy in June that FnF will be done after 3 months of separation, but the employees who left in May are not aware of it. Management is not taking the matter seriously and is saying that the financial condition is not good.
Will this delay in providing the dues of employees create any issues (Salary for the last month is also not paid by the company)?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Ravi

Dear Ravi,
Certain vital pieces of information relating to the issue, such as the nature of your industry, the total number of employees in the industry as a whole including their breakup details, the number of employees at the Bangalore unit before its shutdown, and the number of employees becoming jobless by not being able to relocate to Delhi, are missing in your post. Notwithstanding the legal consequences arising out of this partial closure of the unit in the industry, it would certainly be a case of retrenchment regarding the employees unable to move to Delhi. Since the industry is still operational and those assured of F&F have not yet been paid the same, they have to be deemed to still be in service, and as such, they can claim wages until they receive their F&F.
Thank you.

(Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains some inaccuracies. The concept of deemed continuous service until full and final settlement is not applicable in this case. The delay in providing dues does create legal issues, but the situation is not equivalent to being in service. Employees are entitled to their dues regardless of the company's financial condition.
