Hey guys,
I had completed my articleship last year in April 2016. As per ICAI rules i completed my required hours, and I worked one more month EXTRA (which was not required by ICAI ) to complete all my audits and do handover in May 2016.
I had been paid all stipends upto april 2016 but one more month of salary (May 2016) is still pending.
Everytime i call the partner and ask for it he gives excuses or doesnt pick up the call. This went on for 1 year and i started SMS'ing him so that i have proof of trying to collect. But he gives stupid excuses. And now I'm fed up and just want to be paid.
I do have proof of working in May 2016
What is my legal recourse? How do I go about collecting it? Should I contact the department of labour? should i file a lawsuit? how do i proceed with that?
Thank you so much for your answers.
