Feeling Stuck with No Salary Raise: Are There Appraisal Laws to Help Employees in Delhi?

Dear Sir, In the past 4 years, I have only received a 5% salary appraisal. When I recently inquired with my director, he mentioned that the company is not obligated to provide appraisals every year. He stated that since my salary is at par, I should not anticipate any further salary appraisals.

Appraisal Laws and Salary Limits

I kindly request confirmation on the following points:

1. Are there any appraisal laws established by the government in favor of employees?
2. If my salary is at par, should management not formally notify me that my salary has reached the maximum limit allowed? Should it now be my decision whether to continue with the same salary or to resign from the organization by providing a 30-day written notice?

I look forward to your prompt response.

In India, there are no specific laws mandating annual salary appraisals for employees. However, it is essential for organizations to adhere to fair labor practices and ensure that employees are compensated fairly based on industry standards and performance. If your salary is at par and you feel that you have reached the maximum limit allowed within the organization, it would be advisable to have a candid discussion with your management regarding your concerns. You can inquire about potential avenues for career growth, additional benefits, or performance-based incentives. If you believe that your salary is not reflective of your contributions and market standards, you may consider exploring opportunities outside the organization. Before making any decisions, carefully evaluate your career goals and the overall work environment to make an informed choice.
