Confused About Pay Revision and Increments After Switching PSUs? Let's Discuss!

Dear All,

I have made a job change from one PSU to another. In this regard, I was offered Rs. 23,200/- as basic pay, which is in E-2 Grade (Rs. 20,600/-) with 3 increments at 3% per year. The same has been mentioned in my appointment letter too. However, upon joining my new company where Pay Revision has been implemented, they have denied passing on the 3 increments that were offered to me.

When I inquired about this, they stated that the 3 increments will be passed on whenever my previous company implements Pay Revision, and all the money will be given as arrears. Could you please shed some light on the above-mentioned subject?

Thanks & regards,
S Das

Pay Fixation in New PSU

In this case, the pay fixation in the new PSU need not wait for the wage revision of the old PSU, as the matter could be resolved by fixing you at the revised scale by reckoning your assured basic pay (i.e., E2 scale + three increments) and using the pay fixation formula to arrive at the new basic pay. If there are employees in your new PSU who were getting in the pre-revised E2 grade three increments, you can insist on being given the same treatment.

In case they are going to await the revision in the earlier PSU, are they going to protect your pay, or is it going to be in any way advantageous to you? If it is not so, which is most likely, you may press for revision based on the pay revision formula as above.

Thank you KK!HR for your reply.

On your suggestion, when I approached our HR Department, they mentioned that since on January 1, 2017, I was an employee of an organization where pay revision has not been implemented, I will not be eligible for pay revision benefits, even though pay revision has been implemented in my newly joined organization. I was offered Rs 23,200/- in my appointment, but I received my payslip with basic pay of Rs 50,000/-. Is there any chance of further pay fixation?

Going by what your present organization is saying, you can hope for refixation after your pay is fixed by the earlier PSU. What is the position of pay fixation there?
