Dear Experts,
Would like to seek your advise on this situation. If an employee was entitled to a driver allowance but subsequently the company change its policy to only have driver allowance for a higher grade employee. The driver allowance was then absorbed into the basic salary. Few years down the road, the employee is now upgraded to the grade entitled to a driver allowance. Can the employer now reallocate from the basic salary to the driver allowance i.e. reduce the basic salary and but the same amount to the driver allowance?
