Hi, I want to have information regarding what compensation to quote once one has taken a break of 2 years. My last compensation was 5.5 LACS (Fixed) with a total experience of 5 years in Sales and Business Development. Also, how can one leverage one's sales experience in Training and Development and shift to HR.
Thanks,

Hi,
I read your query. First, do you think this employee deserves any increment as she is joining your company after 2 years? The maternity leave is usually for 12 weeks only, and thereafter it can be extended for another 12 weeks, which means almost 6 months.
As per the law, the answer is yes, the employee is eligible for any hike. So, you can give her a minimum raise that your company has planned for this year. Alternatively, you can check the minimum hikes (percentage of DA increased) in your state. Based on that, you can plan a raise or growth.
With warm regards,

Hi,
Since you have taken a break for 2 years, prospective employers may not be aware of your skill level. They might or might not offer you a significant salary increase when hiring you. It is possible that they could bring you in with a minimal raise and then adjust your salary after evaluating your performance over 6 months.
My suggestion to you would be to seize the opportunities that come your way and reenter the workforce. Spend some time with the company and then consider exploring other job prospects.
I hope this advice proves helpful.

Hi Geeta,
I agree with Richa. After a fairly prolonged break (seen as a break in service), your skill level, knowledge, and exposure may not be the latest that's required. Moreover, most companies will look at this as a break in service and may just offer you the same compensation or perhaps even less. You may be lucky to get more; that's possible. Just take up a job that offers you roughly the same salary and work your way up! That's the best thing to do. I am sure, with time, your compensation will increase.
