Labour & Employment Lawyers: common questions
My employer has not paid my salary. What can I do in India?
Start with a legal notice. If unpaid, you can approach the labour authorities in India for conciliation and then the labour court or tribunal with jurisdiction, or file a civil recovery suit depending on your role and salary.
Can I be terminated without notice?
Termination must follow your contract and labour law. Retrenchment of workmen requires notice and compensation. Wrongful termination can be challenged.
How do I file a POSH complaint?
A written complaint goes to the Internal Committee of your organisation, or to the Local Committee if there is none. A lawyer can help draft it and represent you in the inquiry.
Is a non-compete clause enforceable in India?
Post-employment non-compete clauses are generally unenforceable under Section 27 of the Contract Act, though confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations may be upheld.
