In the wake of current recession, undue termination of the employees and workplace harassment, it is very important that employees are in touch with atleast one labor lawyer. The other day, i was talking to a friend of mine, who was working with a small private software company. Suddenly, without notice, one day his services were terminated. Officially he was entitled to a severance pay of two months salary, however, his company only paid him 1 months salary. Rest of the amount was with-held by the company. He tried a lot, and was very tensed for few weeks before he met an employment lawyer, who helped him sue his company and get back his remaining amount.
Almost a similar thing happened with my other friend about two years back. He had to run around a lot with lots of paperwork and still his dues were not cleared by the company. Finally, he hired an employment labor to finalize the payments. Now he shifted to a new city with a new job! I some times fail to understand, what do companies gain by keeping such a pittance amount in the account for a few days or months!
So, did you guys have had any such experience? And would you like to share it?
