Dear Colleague,
I recently joined a leading Ltd company as a full time Trainer. However, the HR in this organization has a set of rule to only release the first month salary with the second month, because it is less than half the salary for thirteen days. Is there a policy, If so please clarify.
Its a big inconvenience to bare the expenses occurred for more than one and half months of commuting. Since I am the only bread winner in my family, I can't even ask anybody for petty help.
Awaiting your valuable reply soon.

Dear Colleague,
The other rules were to submit all my credentials from A to Z., i.e from the time I completed my 10th standard till date. I have more than 15 years of experience and found this organization to be strict in terms of HR policies. Please give me some valuable advice whether shall I wait for the first month salary to be credited with second month or else flag it up.
Appreciate your valuable reply soon.

Dear SS,

First and foremost, you should have given proper heading to your post. Appropriate heading should be "Disbursement of Salary". This post is not related to soft skill trainer.

Coming to to the solution of your problem. This is a strange rule that HR in your company follows. There is no legal sanction to this rule. Monthly salary, even for a day has to be paid by 7th or 10th of the following month. Date will vary according to the strength of the employees the company employs.

HR, often in their zeal to please their bosses, comes up with these concoctions.

You may first talk to HR of your company. But possibly they may not budge. Those who have temerity to come up with this rule, whether they will listen to the newly appointed soft skill trainer is doubtful.

Next option is to approach labour office of your area and lodge the complaint with them. But then for this you have to wait till 10th of the next month to get the salary. You can approach labour officer only if the salary is not paid.

However, the biggest question is if you take up cudgels against HR or company as a whole, then will you be able to protect your employment? Approaching labour office will hit the soft nerve of your management and they may terminate you on some flimsy grounds. You say that you are the breadwinner of your family. Therefore, can you afford to take up cudgels against your management? Exercise prudence before your take your gloves off.

This is the tragedy in India. There are millions like you who suffer silently. Employers can throw the laws to the wind wantonly and get away. Poor economic conditions of employees forces them to swallow this injustice. This has happened though yours is public limited company. Few private limited companies are still worse. There is no proper mechanism that monitors the labour laws effectively. Labour laws in India is misnomer. In all practical purposes these are "Employer Laws". Yet our HR fraternity prefers teaching their bosses "Rights of Employers under Labour Laws". Sometimes lid blows suddenly and cases like violence at Maruti Suzuki factory happen.

This is the downside of economic liberalisation. Economic liberalisation has benefitted lower class most. Too many job opportunities have dwindled trade union movement. Its so easy to quit job today. Some 20-25 years ago problem of your kind could have been handled easily. All that was required to approach union office of the area and tell them the problems anonymously. Union leader's visit to HR (then Personnel Department) was sufficient to understand what lay in future. Average employee considered union leader as lesser evil notwithstanding their whims and fancies. Today this cushion of trade union has gone. This has left employees like you are left in high and dry. There is no proper machinery wherein you can redress grievance. But then I predict that trade union movement will resurface once again and that time it will sweep across all the industries.

Is your company listed one or only public limited company? If it is listed one, then what your company secretary is doing? He is supposed to ensure compliance of all the laws which include labour laws as well. But then alike HR, this is yet again toothless profession.

Ok...
