Withholding of Salary in case of Termination under the Provisions of Zero Tolerance Policy

I am looking for information on the Zero Tolerance Policy (ZTP) in private or private limited companies. Is it prescribed in the Company Act of 1956 or in the Shop & Commercial Establishment Act, or is it created by these private companies according to their internal rules and guidelines?

I was working in a private limited company, but due to a mistake, the company fired me under the ZTP process. I worked for about 24 days, but the HR department stated that the company would not provide salary for the remaining 26 days.

My friends believe that the company must provide the salary even in the case of ZTP and termination. However, my HR department is unwilling to release my salary.

Could you please provide me with some ideas on how I can obtain my salary quickly? I left the job on 26/7/2018, but I have yet to receive my salary.

You have written that you were removed from the company under the provisions of "Zero Tolerance Policy". But then what exactly was the issue? Did your company conduct the domestic enquiry before your removal? If not, a domestic enquiry then at least were you issued a show cause notice?

How were you terminated? Were the orders verbal, or was an email sent to you?

We need to know the reasons for the withholding of the salary. Whatever disciplinary grounds may be, your salary cannot be withheld. You may submit an application for the disbursement of salary to the MD of your company. However, before writing the application, answer the above queries.

You may approach the Labor Officer as well. However, to know whether you are eligible to do that, confirm your designation and how many persons reported to you.

There is no Zero Tolerance Policy under any law or act currently in force in our country for workers. Your termination is illegal, and you need to fight for justice.

You should go to the Labor Office in the area where your office is located for illegal termination and unpaid wages. You can also file a civil case against unpaid wages in civil court.
