Recently A group of my Colleagues went on a process Migration to a US State. The tenure of the stay was ranging between 3-4 months and as is usually the norm the funds were given in advance and Bills were later asked for submission. They were told that 80-85% of Bill submission would suffice.
The group had a tricky situation wherein upon every food bill, an element of Gratuity was expected to be left which was at least 10% of the Bill and it went un Accounted for. They emailed the Finance division of my company who reiterated the policy of 80-85% Bill submission.
However, once they were back, the division mentioned change in Policy and wanted 100% submission. As they only had upto 90%, there was a stop payment on Salaries made on the personnel concerned.
Though this is a generic issue this is clearly not the way tenured employees are treated as they spent 8-10 years in the Company. Of the brigade that went to the United States, there was a Supervisor and a Manager as well. Whilst the negotiations are going on at a snail pace, I do believe that the way this situation was handled is not apt at all and the said division should have come up with an alternate plan.
