As per law wages are to be paid within wage period by 7th of each month. You can file a complaint with the authorities but doing so you will be inviting wrath of your employer. Find an alternate job if this is creating hardship.

Since you are still working there, it is not advisable to take legal action for release of salary otherwise you may loose job though illegally. You, therefore, try to persuade them for payment.

Are you in receipt of appointment order? As per the terms & conditions stipulated in the appointment letter, the employer as well as employee have to adhere to the clauses mentioned there. In your case, the employer has not paid your salary, inspite of your reminding him for the same. Employer can not take recourse to a 1 day holiday you availed and can not withhold your salary. Better complain to the Labour commissioner of your area and resolve the problem. Better to search for a good job elsewhere as it appears that the company is not doing well

1. What type of Company is it?

2. Have them issued you an appointment letter?

3. Are they registered with registrar of companies?

4.You can write to the labour commissioner for not receiving the salary on time,

5. However, I shall advise you to search for a new job and/or adjust with the employer amicably since litigation is a time consuming and expensive affair.
