# 976 Informing Information
Question
I am taking leave from a Jewish business. I am legally entitled to both termination pay and severance pay, but this business is refusing to pay.
Am I allowed to file a complaint with government (Ministry of Employment) or does this constitute malshinus?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that claiming your lawful rights at the respective government offices, even when it affects others, does not constitute an act of malshinus (informing or becoming an accuser or delator).
He recommends contacting first the rabbi of the shul where the reluctant owner or manager of the business davens.
