Resigning from a company due to nonpayment of salary

Hi,

I am the manager of a foreign company representative office. The company hasn't paid for my salary. Even they have not paid the final settlement for an employee who has left.

Can I get my name removed from the representative office license and seek another Job?

Or can I cancel my visa and left the country for good?

Can I legally leave the manager post from the license due to the nonpayment of salary?

The foreign company owner is based out in India and there is just a representative office here.

You can resign from employment after serving your notice period. Inform the Department of Economic Development (DED) that you are no longer employed in the company. A notification needs to be sent to the company owner to appoint another manager.

There was an old employee whose Full and Final (FNF) settlement has not been paid by company till now and has complained in MOHRE.

The company has only one employee who is me. Can I resign from the company and my name get removed from the license?

It is an Indian real estate rep office. Will I be responsible for any dispute between the old employee and the company for the due FNF.

You can resign and you will not be responsible. Please make sure that you approach the DED to remove your name from the trade license.

Dear questioner,

You can resign from your current employment. After servicing the mandatory notice period, you can send a notification to DED about your resignation and further remove your name from the trade license.

Kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
