Respected Forum members and seniors,
I have an urgent query and request you to provide your legal expertise to help resolve the situation.
Our company not as a policy but to boost employees’ morale gives Diwali bonus of one month salary to staff who have completed more than 3 months with the organization on occasion of Diwali.
We have a case where one staff member was hired in Oct 2009 (After Diwali) in a managerial capacity. There had been ongoing issues with his performance and lately the person has proceeded on 3 months leave without pay for an elective medical procedure for which he was undergoing the treatment from last 2 years. The Management has suspicion that the staff has made a fool of us and the reason of elective surgery is not true. We are still waiting for his medical documents which he is yet to get from his doctors (as claimed by the staff).
The Decision Makers are feeling reluctant to give diwali bonus to this staff member. Should there be a reason that we should pay bonus to him also if we are paying it to others employees?
if tomorrow this issue becomes legal what can we do to justify our stand.
