Claiming unpaid salaries during COVID-19 which are mentioned to be paid on WPS
Hi.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, I have been on unpaid leave since 14th March. I received half a salary for March and nothing since.
The unpaid leave was not mutually agreed and didn't sign any document to say that I agreed. The company basically just shut the office doors to all staff.
However, when on the MOHRE app in the WPS section, it says I have 0 payment pending for April and May.
Is there any way my employer would have been able to adjust my salary to 0 with the MOL without my consent?
Thanks

Hi
Without your written approval your company can’t reduce your salary.
We advise you to visit the labour office to settle the matter or get NOC to file a case at the labour court.
