Hi all, I know this topic has been discussed many times, but I feel my case is new for this discussion. I work for an MNC, and our HR department changed its LTA and bonus rules in February 2015 when an employee resigned and requested the LTA and bonus, which are part of our salary (CTC). Bonus and LTA are part of our CTC and are clearly mentioned in the salary breakup. They neither sought our approval for the rule changes nor asked us to sign the amended rules. I have resigned from my current company in the second week of January 2017 and will be relieved by 31st January 2017. To claim LTA, an employee must take leave between April 2016 and March 2017 and submit a form declaring the journey taken within that period with cost details (no bills required as proof). I have already taken leave for LTA during the mentioned period (April 2016 - March 2017). As per the amended rules, it appears that I will not benefit from LTA since one must be employed in the company until 31st March 2017 to claim it. However, based on my knowledge and understanding, they should provide me LTA on a pro-rata basis. I have attached a copy of the amended rules for your reference. Please guide me on my eligibility for this and also advise if I can file a lawsuit against my company.
