Struggling to Create a Marriage Policy: What Should We Offer Employees as a Wedding Gift?

Dear All,

Brinda here. We want to introduce the marriage policy for our organization. I have a brief idea of what to give as a token to employees on their marriage but finding it difficult to frame it in the policy. If anybody can help me.

Thanks

Hi Brinda,

In my organization, we don't have any particular marriage policy. If any of our employees get married, we provide them with 10 paid leaves. Initially, we used to give gifts to the newlywed employee, but later we shifted to providing leaves, which employees found much better.

Hi Babita,

Thank you for your reply. However, our management has decided to provide Rs. 1000 to male employees and Rs. 2000 to female employees. In addition, if an employee's children are getting married, an amount of Rs. 5000 will be given. I am struggling to draft the policy and would appreciate your assistance.

Thank you,
Brinda

Hi,

You could use the following points to frame your policy:

1. Objective - (your aim in introducing the policy viz. helping employees in their time of need, etc.)
2. Eligibility - (who is and not eligible viz. employees on notice period, on probation, etc.)
3. Process - (the process flow, what you expect the employees to do and what they can expect from you)

Hope this helps.

We have included the following in our policy:

Any employee who has completed a minimum of 1 year of service and gets married during his/her tenure will be entitled to a salary hike of Rs. 2000 from the subsequent month of his/her marriage.

I am attaching the "marriage gift policy" of our organization. I hope it will work.

Thanks,
Pramod Singh

Is there any policy for female employee marriage?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Regarding the policy for female employees' marriage, our company does not have specific guidelines or restrictions in place related to employees getting married. We believe in promoting a work environment that respects the personal choices and privacy of our employees. However, if there are any specific concerns or inquiries regarding marriage or related matters, please feel free to reach out to the HR department for further clarification or assistance.

If you have any other questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please refer to the previous discussion in this link. You have more suggestions. You can recommend a gift ranging from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 5000, which can be paid as a gift cheque. Alternatively, the concerned employee may be given additional holidays in addition to their regular leave entitlement. These suggestions are applicable to both male and female employees and are considered general welfare measures in companies. In the Hotel/Resort Industry, they offer a complimentary honeymoon package for 3 nights/4 days.
