Legal Notice for Unpaid Salary & Wrongful Termination
Unpaid wages, a termination without notice, or gratuity your employer is withholding? A formal legal notice — signed and stamped by a licensed advocate — is often what prompts HR or management to settle before it reaches the Labour Court.

What your notice covers
Employment disputes involve specific statutory references and a clear account of the employment relationship. Every notice we draft documents the facts precisely and grounds the demand in the applicable labour law.
This notice is drafted under Indian employment law — the Payment of Wages Act 1936, the Industrial Disputes Act 1947, applicable state labour rules, and the terms of your appointment letter or employment contract. It is signed and issued by a bar-licensed advocate on letterhead, giving it the weight a self-drafted email does not carry.
Role, tenure, salary, and the appointment letter or contract — dated and documented so the notice cannot be dismissed as vague.
What happened — unpaid wages, termination without notice, withheld dues — stated clearly and factually.
The Payment of Wages Act, Industrial Disputes Act, or state rules that apply, cited correctly.
Unpaid salary, notice pay, or gratuity, stated precisely so there is no ambiguity about what is owed.
A clear deadline to respond or pay, and what follows — Labour Court reference or civil recovery — if it is ignored.

What clients say
5.0★ average from 5 verified reviews“We were under pressure to sign a customer agreement with a UK client within 48 hours. ContractDesk reviewed the contract the same day, flagged a few risky clauses around liability and payment terms, and suggested practical revisions that the client accepted without much negotiation. The process was smooth and the advice was genuinely commercial, not just legal.”
“As our startup started closing enterprise customers, our contracts became far more complex. ContractDesk has become our go to legal partner for reviewing MSAs, NDAs, and SaaS agreements. Their comments are easy to understand, turnaround is consistently fast, and the quality has been excellent”
“The trademark registration process was much smoother than I expected. The team first checked whether my brand name was available, explained the risks in plain English, and handled the filing end to end. They kept me updated throughout the process and were always available to answer questions. Great experience overall.”
