I have been working for organizations for more than 3 years now. I need some help with the Salary Restructuring.
Initial Offer and Salary Components
In 2012, I received the offer letter which included components such as Basic, HRA, Special Allowance, Transport Allowance, Medical Allowance, Night Shift Allowance, Gratuity, VIP (Variable Incentives Pay), Mediclaim, PF, and Gratuity. The corresponding deductions were Mediclaim and PF, which reflected in the salary slip. However, the deduction for Gratuity is not shown in the salary slip.
Changes in Mediclaim and Salary Structure
After 6 months of joining the organization, I opted out of Mediclaim. They adjusted the Mediclaim in Special Allowance, and this reflected in the salary slip. However, I never received the revised offer letter for the same. My salary in hand remained the same, and everything seemed fine.
Project Transfer and Salary Structure Changes
In October 2013, I was moved to another project in the organization. In October 2014, the company changed the salary structure without any prior notifications. I found that the company stopped paying the Night Shift Allowance from the October 2014 salary slip. When I checked with HR, I was informed that the project does not pay Night Shift Allowance (Rs 1500) even though I am working night shifts. HR explained that they added the Night Shift Allowance to the other components in the salary structure. HR informed that they do not need to seek consent from the employee as this is a company policy.
I noticed changes made to Basic, HRA, PF, Gratuity, VIP as well. I requested HR to adjust the Night Shift Allowance to Special Allowance instead of distributing it to Basic, HRA, PF, Gratuity, and VIP to ensure no changes were made to the in-hand salary. I also observed that the package increased from 4,05,000 to 4,23,000, yet the in-hand salary is less.
Lack of Communication and Legal Advice
The company has not apologized for neglecting to inform me before making changes to the salary slip. It has been over 5 months, and I am still awaiting the revised appraisal letter for FY 2014. The company has not paid the VIP for over a year. Please advise if there are any legal actions that can be taken against the company as an individual.
I am unsure if this is the right place to discuss, but I hope to address this with a positive instinct. I appreciate any help you may provide.
Thank you.
