Questions & Answers
Is it legal to give a post dated cheque against the final settlement?
I should have my final settlement on May 9 as my last day of work will be May 2nd. The company offered me to pay me in 2 payments.
A bank transfer was made in the 1st week of May and the second 50% in the 1st week of June by giving me a post-dated cheque.
The issue is I didn't plan to stay 1 more month as I should leave the country.
1- Is this legal to offer this kind of payment? What can I do?
2- If I have to stay, they have to pay my expenses (rent and bills) to stay one more month in the country?
Dear Questioner
If you agreed on the settlement amount (in general), then yes, the way of payment is legal especially under the current situation these days.
My advice is to accept but ask them to make the payment in the name of any of your trusted persons who are living here and then when he/she receives it in June they can transfer it to you in your country.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your query,
This kind of settlement can be made and it is not illegal on the part of your employer. If both the parties agree then it is not a problem if the Post-dated cheque is honored.
