Hi Sir/madam, i am working in an IT company which is a Pvt Ltd Company and is based out of Hyderabad. During hiring time, company has promised that salary of employees get released on 1st of every month but here scenario is completely different. No body gets salary on time and if salary is released, it is released into split i.e not complete salary but part of it in span of another one or two months. I am suppose to get March month salary since it is month of April but as of now , i am not even paid for January salary in full. Due to this salary issue , me and my family are going through very bad phase and I am not able to meet my family's basic needs .I have taken a personal loan from bank and some hand loans from friends to run my family but now scenario has gone more worse since, I am struggling to pay back EMI to banks and friends. To pay EMI to bank again , I am talking hand loans from my other friends and that continues. Please advise me on prevailing scenario and help me with the way to recover my salary. Raj Hyderabd

All the aggrieved employees can engage a common lawyer to serve a legal notice to their employer to release the salary. If this proves futile then a suit for recovery of salary against the company is the only legal remedy available to them.
Salary is the main criteria for employment, if there is salary then there is no work.
Whether this is condition with all employees every time and whether nobody raised the issue so far?
You should first exhaust the remedies by bringing the subject matter to the notice of top management immediately in writing and this record to be preserved for future legal action to be taken in this regard.
After having received no response from the management side, you may issue a legal notice to the company along with your resignation letter quoting this irregularity in salary payment as the reason for resignation and demand the arrears of salary.
you can look out for another employment.
You can approach a labor law practicing lawyer for further process.
