Salary & Gratuity Recovery Lawyer in Karachi
Recovering unpaid salary, final settlement, gratuity, bonus and other employment dues.
In brief
When an employer withholds pay or final dues, the right claim depends on your status and the amount. Sindh wage law, including the Sindh Payment of Wages Act 2015, offers a quicker route for many workers, while others may need a civil suit based on their contract.
We calculate what is owed, send a formal demand, and bring the claim before the right authority. Many cases settle after a clear legal notice.
Current and former staff who are owed salary, gratuity, leave encashment or final settlement.

How the matter moves
We review your contract and salary records and calculate the amount due. A legal notice is sent to the employer, with a claim following in the proper forum if there is no payment. The order or decree may then need to be enforced.

- Contract and salary slips
- Bank statements showing salary

- Emails or messages about the unpaid dues
Questions clients ask
Am I entitled to gratuity?
It depends on the law and your contract, including whether a provident fund or other scheme applies. We review your documents.
Can my employer withhold dues for not returning items?
Only lawful deductions are permitted, and any issue should be handled properly rather than used as a reason to withhold everything.
Should I sign a full and final settlement?
Read it carefully first, because signing may end your further claims. Have it checked before signing.
