I joined the company based on a verbal employment agreement under which I was informed that the initial 15 days would be considered a trial period. I understood that, after successfully completing the trial period, my regular salary would commence.
Despite the verbal nature of the agreement, I continued working for the company beyond the 15-day trial period and ultimately worked for approximately 30 days. During this period, I performed the duties and responsibilities assigned to me by the company and contributed my time and effort as an employee.
The working environment became difficult and, in my experience, toxic. During this period, the employer also stated that I would not be paid any amount, even Rs. 1, for the work I had performed. Because of this situation, I decided that I could no longer continue working for the company and informed them of my intention to leave.
After deciding to resign, I specifically asked whether I would receive payment for the work I had already completed, particularly the amount corresponding to the 15-day trial period. I believe that I am entitled to receive payment for the work and time I provided to the company, regardless of whether the initial period was described as a “trial period.”
I am seeking legal advice regarding my entitlement to unpaid wages and the appropriate legal procedure for recovering the amount due to me. I also have supporting evidence regarding my employment and the work I performed, including CCTV footage at the workplace, records of communication with clients, screen recordings, and evidence of tasks I performed for the company.
I would like to understand my legal rights and the appropriate action that can be taken against the company for withholding payment for work already performed.
