"If your actions inspire others
to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." ―
John Quincy Adams
Were you cheated by the management of
your college where you served loyally for some years? Did your employer betray
you after utilizing your services by not paying your last month salary? Were
you terminated from your employment by your employer disgracefully? Are you in financial hardships due to the
non-receipt of payment from your employer? Do you want to understand the
procedure to get your last month salary from private colleges or educational
institutions in India? This article helps you redress your grievance.
I served as a professor in various private
colleges and I have my own bitter experiences with some notorious
owners/managements who tried to cheat me by not paying my last month salary.
But they failed miserably due to my ethical and legal fight. Here is a
tentative procedure to get your last month salary in a fair, legal and ethical
manner from private educational institutions in India.
First prepare a draft of your grievance
furnishing the details of your association with your college with facts and
figures from recruitment to termination. Enclose the scanned copies of all your
certificates that serve as evidence. Send your grievance to ‘grievance cell’ to
the university with which your college is affiliated currently. You can also
send it to the Registrar and Vice Chancellor of the affiliated university. You
send it to All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Delhi which is a regulating
body that will quickly check the irregularities. Here is their email: aictevigilance@gmail.com to assist
you.
You can also send your grievance to
Human Rights Commission as your family in financial hardships due to
non-receipt of your salary from your employer. You can send your grievance to
Labour Commissioner to which the college belongs for speedy redressal. Keep the
copies of all your complaints for future reference. If you have sent e-mails,
keep a copy of each one in a separate folder to track it easily. Wait for two
to three weeks for their positive response. If there is no response, you remind
them by referring your previous letters and emails for their follow-up. If you
send hard copies, make sure that you send them by courier or registered post
from Indian postal department. I am sure you will get a positive response and
salary from your employer. There is a probability that your unethical employer
might have connections with some of the officials to influence them and bribe
them. But remember, most officials are
really good. They empathize with you and fight for your right and instruct the erring
educational institution to pay your salary. In the meanwhile, your employer
might level false charges against you with higher officials to invent excuses
for non-payment of your salary. They might blackmail you. Most of the officials
are aware of such fictitious charges by these notorious owners and employers. They
know that these are gimmicks to defend themselves and put you on further troubles.
Don’t give up due to fictitious charges. You can approach media to highlight
your issues. They are ready to fight your case due to the cut-throat
competition in television channels and other media. Finally, you can file a
case in court. You must fight to the finish. Remember, truth alone triumphs
(Satyamev Jayate).
After you receive your salary, thank
the people who played crucial roles to get your salary. Have an attitude of
gratitude. Also, help other employees who have been cheated like you by their
employers. Provide them direction and offer them hope. People often think ‘what
is in it for me’ which is wrong. We must help one another during problems to
build a better world.
Conclusion
For every problem, there are multiple
solutions. Don’t excessively brood over the problems. Always explore options and
take immediate action to fight for your rights. Don’t suffer silently.
Be persistent with your approach.
Don’t attack the individuals but attack only the issues during your ethical
fight. Follow the procedure meticulously and be patient. You will definitely
get your salary and overcome your financial hardships and depression. Once you
come out with flying colors, you stand out as a leader and role model for
others.
"A leader is one who knows the
way, goes the way, and shows the way." — John C. Maxwell

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteYou are a true leader always showing the way for other leaders to follow.
Previously educational institutions were started by philanthropists and intellectuals. Unfortunately, entrepreneurs with criminal mind started colleges now. That is why both students and faculty suffers.
Your article is objective, analytical and impartial.
It serves as a blueprint for other aggrieved employees to approach the right authorities.
I always support your right causes. I am sharing with my connections.
Sir,
ReplyDeletePlease provide the addresses and emails of authorities as it helps others showing the right path. They will be grateful to you. In this way you become not only a leader but also a crusader against corruption and irregularities.
Bring the college culprits to the book. Indian judiciary is very strong. A very bold article on fighting against irregularities and corruption in private colleges.
ReplyDeleteIt is time to streamline system in such a way to bring justice to employees and faculties in colleges.
Bold article with thought provoking ideas. Some rogues have converted education into prostitution. It is time to clean the education system in India to keep it free from criminals.
ReplyDeleteIt is time to clear colleges from culprits and criminals to build a healthy education system in India.
