Dear Madam,
What is Performance Appraisal? Employee who has performed satisfactorily during the appraisal period. Here this lady has worked hardly for 3 months and still expects hike in salary.
I think now a days employees are considering organisations as a Charitable Trusts where they can expect favour / donations.
One has to think what is his or her contribution towards the organisation first and then expect reward.
When there was 12 weeks ML, 1 month extension was permissible on medical ground with doctor's certification / recommendation. Now there is an amendment of 6 months ML still people are having problem.
Rules are made to meet justified demands of workmen / public which we should respect. And then we should think in that direction by which no one will get dissatisfied.
Please note that I have no intention to hurt anyone's feelings, this is my personal opinion.
(At our homes when maid servant ask for some hike in her salary or bonus during Diwali, we look for another person in her place, because it pinches us but this is not applicable to Co.)
Regards,
Suresh
