In line with the above discussion I have a number of queries that goes unanswered. If anyone could help.
If a management staff comes to work on a holiday, how should he be paid. How can a rule be formulated. Normally in our Company, he is paid his conveyance ( a minimum amount- no ceiling is fixed) and some have lunch in the Company's account. It is not known to others ( because it is mainly the Accounts that come and they show these costs differently).
Now there are many who have started misusing it. They claim any amount telling that they come by Taxis.( but they actually do not). I have been asked to stop all such facilities and issue a circular regarding this as we are having a strict cost reduction measure program going on.
I am somehow not for this system. If an employee is called on a holiday, he should be compensated for it. Otherwise why should he come? He may say no. If we give compensatory off, that will again be a problem because of the work exigencies and less manpower.
In the past when we used to have an allowance / reimbursement system for holiday coming, some employees used to come for no reason, just to claim this amount. Also some would come and just spend an hour or so, and claim the whole amount. Some bosses blankly sign this as he is also party to it.
I am so confused. At this time of cost reduction program, what best method can I suggest so that my employees are not offended or the various departmental works such as Accts(during closing) , Mrktg.(for tender work) etc.are not adversly affected.
Pl. help. An early reply is expected.
