Dear Sir,
The fact that your resignation was verbal is also not sufficient ground to withhold salary already earned. At best, the school may contend that proper resignation procedures were not followed. However, that issue is separate from payment for the period during which you actually worked. Since the Principal specifically requested you to complete the month and assured you that salary would be paid, such assurance further strengthens your case.
You should immediately send a written legal notice to the Principal, the School Administration, and the competent authority managing the school, demanding release of your salary within a specified period, preferably 7 to 15 days. In the notice, mention the dates during which you worked, the duties performed, the assurance given by the Principal, and the evidence available with you. Preserve copies of the attendance register photographs, screenshots of group chats, call records, messages, and any witnesses who can confirm your employment.
Dear Client,
From what you have provided above, the failure of the school to pay the salary based on the fact that you did not sign the agreement will not stand legally if indeed you worked for the school and the school accepted your services at that time. Employment can be proven not only by having a signed contract but also through the use of different proofs like attendance registers, communications, job assignments, etc. The photos in the attendance register, the group chats concerning daily duties performed, as well as any communication made by the principal concerning finishing of the month and payment of salary, will be of great help in proving your performance and benefit rendered to the school. It would be best for you to write a representation or notification letter requesting for the payment of your salary earned and document all evidence that proves that you have worked for the school.
I hope this helps and if you have any further issues do not hesitate to contact us.
