How Can I Politely Urge Employees to Pay Their Overdue Housing Dues? Urgent Help Needed!

parikshitkale
Dear All,

I am working as a Manager in one of the leading construction companies. Many of our employees have taken houses within our own company, but they have failed to make the payment despite several reminders. I need a professional letter that requests the immediate payment of current dues, without causing any offense.

Can anybody help me with this? It's urgent.

Regards,
Parikshit

Dear Parikshit,

You have asked for help, but there needs to be a little more clarity on the situation. When the company hires accommodation for the employees, we make an agreement with the landlord. Now, when we allot the same accommodation to the company employees, we make one more internal agreement with the employee. Have you made that internal agreement? If yes, what are the terms and conditions of the allotment of such housing? When were they supposed to make the payment? Secondly, if employees need to pay something to the company, then why are deductions not made through their monthly salary?

Unless you clarify these issues, it will not be possible to draft the letter.

Thanks,
Dinesh V Divekar

Dear Dinesh,

Thank you for the reply. It's not about the company's accommodation. The employees have purchased a new flat in one of our ongoing projects and according to the schedule, they need to pay some amount. As it's a new project, the registration is yet to be done, but a certain amount is to be paid as a booking confirmation.

Regards,
Parikshit
