(d)  General : The present designation is subject to change depending upon work assignment from time to time.

 

The said Offer Letter dated 08/01/2021, did not describe my assignment or responsibility to carry in pursuing the cited post as Business Head East Zone (West Bengal), North East Region, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odissa, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. The Work assignment has never been given in writing to me.

 

The said Offer Letter dated 08/01/2021, did not give any particulars of the service rules and regulations including conduct, discipline and administrative orders and such other rules or orders of the company which may come in force from time to time. M/s. Giza Marketing Private Limited, having CIN: U51900MH1993PTC070426, did never given any purported copy of the service rules and regulations including conduct, discipline and administrative orders and such other rules or orders of the company which may come in force from time to time. During tenure of my service, I did never find any of the service rules and regulations including conduct, discipline and administrative orders and such other rules or orders of the company which may come in force from time to time, whatsoever.

 

My work has assigned purely as a Clerk in the office at Kolkata, as take notes of everything pursuing the delivery of the articles in dispatching and delivering the goods and articles at the depot (C&FA), including MIS Checking, attendance, indent preparation, preparation of sale projection submitted by the concerned officials of the respective state, forwarding the grievances and claims of the distributors and Stockists and maintenance report of the Kolkata Office. I used to forward all information to my reporting authority Mr. Rajesh Vailaya (NSM) at the Registered Office at Mumbai, who used to check & approve all claims, projections, office maintenance bill & everything. I had no authority to take any decision and to approve anything, whatsoever. Therefore my job has never been assigned with any responsibility. I was serving as a Clerk at the behest of the Company.

 

Pertinently states that Super Stockists are working in various towns in eastern zone and has been appointed by the concerned area head of the particular region. They had sent details of concern parties to me, and my job is to forward the same to my reporting authority for his approval. Simultaneously, concerned manager has placed orders of super stockists by email and after checking I have only forwarded the same to the Registered Office of the Company. Accounts department at Mumbai release Proforma Invoice against any order and stock has been dispatched through C & FA depot after payment clearance. No credit policy in our entire system of the company has ever been found. The company has always sale their products in advance. Super Stockist has supply their stocks via sub distribution channels i.e. distributors or wholesalers. Sales team is only appointed for retailing support by the company. Stock’s once sold hasn’t been taken back by the company and that was also the main reason of some market disputes in the state of West Bengal & other areas. Sometime products not being accepted in the market or returned back by the retailers to distributors and they used to return the same to the Super Stockists. Due to cosmetics product related to skin, sometime old stocks or near to expiry products not acceptable & return back. The Company was not accepted to return back those stocks from the market or distributors or super stockists, which became the reasonable reason of disputes and after my joining I have faced so many grievances regarding such issues in the state of West Bengal and other areas. After my several request the company was agreed to return same stock only last year after 2.5 years of my joining but still not settled maximum damages & expiry stocks, which are lying in godown with super stockists in various areas. I was facing extreme mental pressure from various parties to resolve their problems, but no support has ever been given or forwarded by the company ever.

 

The Company played much unethical role in dealing its business in its market field of the Cosmetic Industries. The Company did not redressing or striking of damage or expired stocks, even recently after my resignation some sticking old stock has been found in north eastern market and the concerned party has send his grievances to the Consumer Court. On several occasion I had asked my reporting authority in the company to redressed the issues of old stocks on priority but the company did not heed to that and the company continuing in its old practices to deliver the old / damage / sticking stocks of the cosmetics to the parties, which raised reasonable cause of disputes, while asking of the return of goods, so far, with the company. The Parties and the people has taken me as a responsible person for all these things, as my post has been cited as  Business Head East Zone (West Bengal), North East Region, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odissa, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan, in the Company; But in reality my nature of Job is nothing more than a Clerk, which give a perfect illusions in the mind of the parties and the people at large, which causes much humiliation to me day by day, and everyday till I placed my resignation.

 

I would like to mention one more important thing that the company has offered schemes time to time and that will reimburse through secondary claims submitted by the super stockists. This is very complicated system and concern area heads are submitting their respective super stockist claims to me and my duty is to check and forward the same to the account department of the registered office of the company. In this process sometime, super stockists has not been able to submit their claim timely or due to lack of some supporting documents, such claim was returned back by the company, though in any case, nothing was in my hand but Mr. Rajesh Vailaya has always tried to accused me for such delay and others.

 

From last one year onwards, the Company has intentionally deducted salaries of sales personnel & BA (Women working in various retails counters to sale & promote the products of the Company) without any valid reason. Due to that reason most of the team was disappointed & some of them left their job.

 

From last 6/7 months, the Company has not given salaries timely and sometime after 18th or 22nd days of the month salary release with deduction. Reason was delayed of payment against Parties, although the company hasn’t dispatched any stocks without getting any advance payment.

 

Even I was also receiving my salaries after 19 /20 the days of the month.

 

Due to all above mentioned reasons, I was getting frustrated and demoralized in working my clerkship carrying the banner as Business Head East Zone (West Bengal), North East Region, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odissa, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan, with every passing day’s since last 6 /7 months. In April’ 2024, my Boss Vailaya has visited Kolkata and I asked him to relieve me, as I don’t feel comfortable. He said he will try to resolve issues but nothing happens.

 

Therefore under such compelling circumstances I have submitted my resignation on 4th day of September’ 2024 and handed over my charges to Sale Coordinator & concerning manage for the State of West Bengal on 9th day of September’ 2024.

 

Before, submitting my resignation, I have sent message to Mr. Vailaya and mentioned my mental states and frustration towards all the unethical happenings by the Company. For Sale de growth, the Company always blaming to concerned sales team and targeting me for the failure of others, the sales team always put several reasons including the concern of their salaries, etc.

 

I have communicated all the concern which affected me directly & indirectly to the Company; But I have not get any positive response against my communication through message and the said Mr. Vailaya did not even respond me.

 

Against my resignation mail dated 4th day of September’ 2024, I have received the acceptance of my resignation via email on 5th day of September’ 2024, with lots of unlawful conditions to settle my dues, including asking for NOC from concerned Super Stockists, submitting claims and asking for serving the notices for 21 (twenty one) days notice period concern. I have duly responded with all issues and explain in bellow mentioned words;

 

“Reply of the Company’s mail, first of all the Company have already accepted my resignation and matter is only related to the settlement of my pending dues from the company. In my position where direct money transaction not involved with SS, as per the practices adopted by the company, no NOC required and even it has not mentioned in the Offer Letter dated 8th day of January’ 2021. Our organization working in advance payment basis and direct money transfer required against Pl to release any dispatch. Billing directly from account department to HO to C&FA for dispatch. So there was no direct money transaction via any of us. As a business head, my duty was related to supervise managers in my jurisdiction state & office work including indent, orders, claims & submissions of attendance & expenses, which has never assigned to me, as the concern managers has placed the SS Orders and I have only forwarded the same to our account department. Even field staff & SS has been appointed as per the request of concern area head and I have only forwarded required documents to the Company for approval.”

 

During 5th day of September’ 2024 and 16th day of September’ 2024, Mr. Vailaya has sent me three mails and repeated the same contents to me.

 

During 4th day of September’ 2024 to 19th day of October’ 2024, I have sent several request through messages to release my dues but the said Mr. Vailaya always avoided my settlement request motivated.

 

Lastly on 21st day of October’ 2024, the said Mr. Vailaya has sent me message and almost threatened me to take legal steps and inform my present organization about my incompetency to handle assign duties which was the reason of companies loss, although the company has worked on advance payment basis and there is no question of loss in any circumstances.

 

My Dues are as follows;

 

·         Salary for the month of August’ 2024 – Rs. 1,18,300/- (Rupees One Lakh Eighteen Thousand and Three Hundred) only;

·         Misc. Dues - Rs. 19,400/- (Rupees Nineteen Thousand and Four Hundred) only;

·         One Month Salary – Bonus for the period 2023-24 Financial Year – Rs. 1,18,300/- (Rupees One Lakh Eighteen Thousand and Three Hundred) only;

·         Total Dues approx as a sum of money being Rs. 2,56,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs and Fifty Six Thousand) only.

 

I have communicated above stated facts by my Letter dated 11th day of November’ 2024, to the Company, which the Company is in receipt though did not respond anything and did not pay any dues to me, till date.

 

Therefore I resort before your good offices for your kind intervention in pursuing the realization of dues from the employer to me.

 

Find the above, kindly do the needful in realizing my salary and others dues, and oblige.

 

Thanking you,

 

Yours’ faithfully,
