When an employer pays criminally low wages and refuses to pay those low wages on time, it is a recipe for employee stealing(Innovation for survival).
I worked in this company that was paying 30% of the national minimum wage and her monthly salary circle was 45 days as against 30days by the labour law.
One day the following conversation ensued between the Chairman and myself.
Chairman: Look at these boys, see their eyes, they are all thrives.
Me: How do you know?
Chairman: What is today's date?
Me: 17th
Chairman: Have I paid salaries for last month? Why are they coming to work so early?
Me: Once there is life, there is hope.
Chairman: When they leave, I will not pay gratuity because they have eaten their gratuity upfront.
Me: There is a government agency that will fight for the payment of their gratuities.
