How to Handle Employee Transfers with Salary Changes in a Start-up BPO?

Hi, I am working for a start-up BPO in Goa. I need help in drafting a transfer of an employee from one process to another due to the process going on hold. The transfer will affect the salary decrease also.

Kindly guide.

Regards,
Aarti

Dear Aarti,

Is there a transfer clause in your appointment order? Reducing of salary consequent to a bonafide transfer is not permitted as per law.

Thank you.

Dear colleague,

While transferring any employee from one job to another, from one department to another, or from one business location to another is an inherent right of an employer, reducing salary on such transfer is not. The appointment letter usually carries a clause that the job is transferable to another job, department, location, and to other sister companies within the existing terms of employment.
