My salary has been pending for seven months. Despite repeated requests, my employer has continued to give false assurances that the salary will be paid next week or next month. What legal steps can I take to recover my pending salary, and how long might the process take?
You should first send a formal written demand to your employer for payment of the seven months’ outstanding salary, keeping proof of delivery. Preserve your employment agreement, salary slips, attendance records, bank statements, and all messages containing payment promises. If payment is still withheld, you may approach the appropriate labour authority or court, depending on your employment status and applicable law. The exact timeline varies with the forum and case.
