Dear Seniors, I am just a month into my HR role in a large corporation. I'm located at one of their branches, so I need to liaise with people at HQ on many matters. This branch is 5 years old, but they previously had no HR, so I need to start everything from scratch. In this branch, I have over 70 staff to manage alone, most of whom are professionals. I am really lost and feel like giving up.
Understanding In Lieu Payment
I was questioned by one of the heads about what "in lieu payment" means. I understand the concept, but I am unsure how to articulate it properly. Working in a large corporation requires careful wording. I'm here seeking help from seniors.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

"In lieu" means "instead of." It depends on the context. For example, an employee can resign, giving a month's notice to an employer. Instead of working for a month, he/she gives a month's salary and quits the next day. For more details, see http://www.adviceoncompromiseagreeme...of-notice-mean. Also, refer to http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/h...andbook/5.html for information on time off in lieu of overtime payment, etc.

Chill, it is okay to give answers in simple wording. Everyone knows you're fresh, so how would it matter? Grooming takes time. You need to be confident and answer the queries confidently. Choose simple words, and slowly you'll learn.
Hope it helped.

Thank you for the information provided. What if, in my case, the staff serve an insufficient notice period? I've posted this question to the head:
Dear Ms....
Please allow me to seek your advice if the early release granted to Mr. X is with short notice in lieu payment (salary in lieu from 1 Feb 2013 – 30th May 2013) or without?
Mr. X requested for release by the end of Jan.
Please let me know what is the difference between in lieu payment and without?
How should I reply from here?
