I worked for a company from 15th Sep '08 to 3rd Dec '08. Today (24th Dec), they are giving me the salary for the November month through a cheque with a 10% deduction, saying that due to less profit, they decided to cut 10% of everyone's salary. However, I was never given any such information until my last day of work. The mobile and fuel bills are also not reimbursed, stating that the phone number is not in my name. I used that for official purposes during office hours when landlines were out of service. This phone is under my friend's name, but I have been using it for a long time, and the same number is in my official email signature. I was not willing to accept the 10% deduction without clarification, leading to a heated discussion with the branch in charge, after which he even stopped the cheque. I learned about this development through a message from the bank where I submitted the cheque.
My question is: Can a company reduce employees' salaries by 10% after a committee meeting without the employees' consent? Am I eligible for mobile bill reimbursement if the account is not in my name? Should I consider going to the labor court for stopping my payment in this manner? Please advise on the best course of action.
