  • I wrote a grievance letter and got a reply from CEO that I am doing a great job and the salary will be paid soon.

  • I had a salary raise a few months ago.

  • Just before leaving for festive holidays everyone got paid except me. CEO told me he does not see me in the future with this company and is basically letting me go. There was never a formal "I am letting you go" letter.

  • I spent my Christmas holidays haggling to get my November pay and still did not receive December pay; the latest date to receive it is end of today.

  • I am back from my holidays, although I still have two days unused. I wrote a letter that I want 30th and 31st as holidays (so I can sort this mess out) as well and did not go to work today.

  • The contract says that he has to give me three months notice, but I have very little confidence he will ever pay out for those three months.

  • Before leaving for holiday I sent a formal grievance letter to which he never replied.

  • I know that he has fired people before without paying them and that he has been sued several times.

  • My plan is to go speak with him today or tomorrow and negotiate for him to allow me to work for another month (January) after which I will provide him with a formal resignation letter. The alternative is to start a legal process to recover the damage.

  • I have worked so far 11 months for the company and I would like it to be at least a full year.

    No, CEO has already decided to not see to see you in future then you should not be there for 1 more month. Also there is no guarantee that you will get all pending salary. So Get a lawyer and do legal process to recover damage. Also find new job without wasting time for this current company.

    If you have 3 months notice, they owe you pay for these 3 months. If they don't give you written notice within a month, they'll owe you pay for 4 months. If they want you to work for 0, 1, or 3 of these months is their decision, but they still owe you pay for all of them. If you agree that the notice period drops to 1 month, you are willingly gifting them 2 of these 3 months pay, and your chance that you will be paid for that extra month of work without getting a lawyer is exactly zero. Your current approach is to take all your cards and throw them into the trash. Don't do that. Get a lawyer!

    Oh, and until you get that lawyer, call in sick. From what you describe, most of what you plan to do if you were to talk to these people would hurt your chances of ever getting paid, so don't talk to them again before you talked to a lawyer.
