How Can Adopting More Employee Benefits Help Reduce Attrition Rates?

Hi All,

I am attaching herewith a document regarding employee benefits. Please try to adapt as many as possible for your employees. This might help control the attrition rate as well.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear All,

Can you please tell me whether the company should pay the gross salary or the basic salary in case a woman is on maternity leave for 3 months.

Hi Brinda,

The law stipulates that a woman can go on maternity leave without having her salary deducted. The maximum period for which a woman can receive maternity benefits is 12 weeks. Out of this period, 6 weeks must be taken before the child's delivery date, and the remaining 6 weeks immediately following the delivery date. To qualify for maternity leave, a woman must have worked for at least 80 days in the 12 months leading up to her expected delivery date. Only working days are counted in these 80 days, including weekly holidays and any paid or unpaid leave days.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide the full salary to a woman on maternity leave, considering the ethical perspective of the situation.

Dear sir,

Is it required by law to pay them gross salary, or is it only from an ethical point of view?

Thank you.

Hi,

The law clearly states no deduction in the salary. Please note that deductions, like transportation, are deducted from the salary in some cases. This is because traveling expenses don't have to be paid if the individual is no longer coming to the office. However, this scenario occurs only in some cases where the employee agrees to it. If the employee chooses to have no deductions, the company has no other option.

Hi,

AJ is correct, but women currently covered under ESI do not have the right of an employee. Employers only contribute in cases where the salary exceeds Rs. 10,000 per month.

Hi,

I want to terminate a lady from our organization. The situation is that she underwent a miscarriage four days ago. Over the past two years, we have observed her work, but there has been no improvement, and her behavior towards her seniors and juniors is the worst. She is a marketing coordinator. Numerous verbal and written communications serve as proof of the aforementioned issue. After the final appraisal, we had decided to terminate her services, but she became pregnant. Therefore, we chose not to terminate her services.

Can you guide me on whether we can terminate her services under the current circumstances of her miscarriage?

Regards,

Hi,

I would suggest not terminating the employee right now; you can do so after two months once she joins work. If you terminate her right now, she can file a lawsuit against your company citing discrimination, and any argument of not firing her earlier will not be considered in civil court.

Ethically speaking, it's not the right course of action, and it won't set a good example in your company. No matter how disliked she is currently, after this incident, there might be a wave of sympathy towards her, and this decision could be seen as too harsh. I hope you make a wise decision.

Regards, AJ

Hi All,

I just want to know which types of fringe benefits we can give to an employee if his package is more than six lakhs and he wants some part of his salary as benefits to save tax. Can we provide benefits to him if he is very important for the company? He is a senior software engineer. Please help me. Could you tell me which types of benefits we can offer to him so that we pay less salary, and there is no loss to him if we decrease his salary and provide benefits?
