Hi, I was working with an Indian company as Area Sales Manager for 2 years. (jul-17 to jun-19). During the period of apr-18 to dec-18, there was a performance reward program in the company, where I have achieved my targets and eligible for the reward.
It wasn't released till the time I resigned in May-19. now (jun-19) I have been relieved from the company and now my team mates who are still working there have got the reward amount. I was also eligible for that but not paid. When I took it up with the HR, they were citing policy that it wouldn't be paid.
When I asked explanation about which policy, they weren't clear. Then they told it's the management decision not to release reward for the resigned employees. My claim is that reward was to be given for an achievement, and the same was done - company got its result, but now it's denying the employee's reward. I feel that is unfair for a listed company to treat an employee like this.
I tried reaching out to the HR head of the company who wasn't willing to even talk to me and had his assistant convey the message to me. I'm not having a space in the company to speak/discuss about it. What can I do now at best? The incentive/reward amount is high for me to forget and move ahead.
Note: I have official mail copies of the reward structure, target and achievements. Post achievement no official communication of the reward amount was given until I resigned. Post that after releasing the reward, employees have got mail - I couldn't get as I had resigned by that time.
