Resignation After Revision Of Salary But Before Getting The Credit

Dear,

I understand from the foregoing problem posted by you that:

1. You were a permanent employee on the Roll of the company/Estb. referred.
2. The pay scales were revised w.e.f. 1.4.2013, and you have tendered your resignation thereafter, and you were in continuous service until the date of acceptance of resignation.

If the above statements are true, you are certainly entitled to the arrears arising from the revision of pay. You just need to get a copy of the revised pay package deal/Agreement. There must be something mentioned in the Order about applicability, such as to whom this revision would apply and to whom it would not. I presume that it must have been mentioned that the revised scales of pay shall be payable to all those who were on the Roll of the Company on 31st March 2013.

I am sure you will benefit from the pay revision. Good luck and best wishes.

After going through the letters of exchange between HR and employees, it seems HR is on the wrong path. It would be better if you moved to the labor court to resolve the issue.

Dear Abdul,

Any pay revision is an honorarium for your performance and a company policy to retain talent. Pay revisions do not happen by chance; they are based on job performance and the company's talent retention policy. Once you have decided to resign, in my opinion, you forfeit the opportunity for a salary revision since you are not continuing with the company. There is no possibility of an escalation in your salary when you have chosen to leave the organization. This practice is common in most organizations. However, if they have already released arrears and you resign subsequently, they may not retract the payment.

Wishing you good luck.

Dear friend,

Let me know how the salary revision was communicated. Was it via a common order mentioning each and every person listed, or was it through an individual letter, and what is the mode? Is there any communication/record in your custody to show how the revision has been arrived at? Unless you have documentary evidence mentioning your name and the details of the salary revision, it is difficult to claim it as a right, especially when it is linked to performance, etc. Unlike the government sector and other such private sector employers, time rate annual increment and granting periodic wage revision in most private firms are not a right. If you have a Union, you may try through them as well. As a first step, you may send a written request to them to release the arrears. Have you been relieved already? If so, what was the LPD (last pay drawn), and what is the revised or pre-revised amount?

Mr. Abdul,

I am writing to address your grievances regarding the legal notice sent to the company demanding your legal dues at a revised rate. In the event that the company fails to comply, you have the option to seek redressal through the appropriate court.
