Can My Employer Change My Salary Structure and Hold Me Responsible for Resignations?

Hi all, I work in a small IT company in Mumbai as a Recruiter. My salary is Rs 3 lakhs per annum. The in-hand salary is 25k (fixed). Now, after 4 months and my confirmation, my employer forcefully made 30% of it variable depending upon recruitment, and if anyone resigns from my organization, 1k will be deducted from my salary.

Questions About Salary Structure and Responsibilities

My question is, can an employer change the salary structure at any time? Is an HR executive held responsible for the resignation of any employee? If my employer fires me, can I sue him and ask for 2 months' salary? Please let me know.

Unfair Salary Policy and Employee Rights

The policy of your management is illogical. Salary can be variable, but it should be decided and informed beforehand. It is illegal to change the salary structure without informing the employee. It is not fair to deduct salary for the reason of resignation of other employees because the reason for resignation cannot be directly attributed to the HR Executive's attitude; it may be due to other reasons, including the attitude of the company management. However, it is baseless to fight against such an employer; it is better to find some other place to work.

In the above post, sir is suggesting very rightly that everything is in your favor, but your position is not to fight at this stage. Doing so would waste your energy, which you could positively use to grow and follow your purposes. There are fewer employers like this; it's better to get rid of them.

Hi Madhuji and Shivendraji, I tried to explain to my employer the main reasons for attrition at our company, such as being privately owned (not a private limited company), odd shift times, better opportunities, and work pressure, but it seems to have been in vain. Now, I have decided to accept whatever he says but also put forward some conditions from my end. I hope this will give me time to search for a better place to work 

Thank you so much, Sir, for your guidance and for helping me overcome my frustrations.

Best regards.
