Late Payment by employer [closed]

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I have recently joined an middle -size organisation about 2 months ago. The employer has not yet paid the amount of my first month. The salary cycle is from 25th to 25th of every month, with a week salary in advance. Its going to be 2 months in next 4 days the employer has not paid a single penny. Since the HR has resigned the month I joined, I have asked the accounts dept. regarding the same, they didn't provided any appropriate response. I have also asked my manager twice regarding the same. He made some commitments regarding the date the salary will come, but that was untrue. Please help, What can I do about it?

Actually, your title is incorrect bcause it's not late payment, but no payment.

Assuming the company is not a scam (which happens, but more often by temporary jobs on field), it's a signal of huge financial problems. You were promised to get money on some date, and probably they've meant so, but they were unable to do that.

You should immediately talk to other workers about the issue and talk to the management, and make sure it's a serious talk. If your company will go insolvent, you may never see your money! (the state will collect unpaid tax first, and workers will be paid only if anything is left). While there's no guarantee you'll become money they already owe you, it's still better than working effectively for free the next few months.
