Debt with moneylenders who called up my workplace
Hi need some legal advice as I’m caught up with some work issues here.
So my workplace, which has a history of delaying payments to many other workers (not just me) has taken this opportunity to further delay my salary and explictly told me they will not pay me unless I settle the issue with the moneylender.
Is this even legal? How am I supposed to pay the moneylenders when my pay is held up?
Additionally, the HR personnel of my company, whom I tried to liase with to get a direct hold of the payroll in charge has blocked me on WhatsApp when I inquired regarding this said problem.
Could anyone assist me on how to approach this matter and which authorities (spf, mom etc.) I could follow up with!! Thank you so much in advance!
Here are what netizens think:
- Everyone has loans and bills to pay every month after receiving his or her salary. The employer here is obviously trying to delay paying the necessary to the worker . Unethical!
- You will need to go to Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management to file a claim first. Go google TADM n select the salary related option to file your claim online. And you will need to do it fast because there’s specific timelines.
- Definitely MOM. It’s also possible to go to court if delayed payment is not mentioned in your contract.
- Its a violation of one of the provisions in the Labor Code. You can file a complaint before the Dept of Labor.
