Dear Monika,
As per law employer never reduce your basic salary in any name or mode.
If you are a workmen as classified by the ID Act, you can complain to the Labour commissioner.
If you are not a workmen, your only remedy is to file a civil case for restoring your previous basic salary. But, this litigation with your employer will affect your relationship.

Hello Monica,
Your employer can't reduce the basic pay, if they done with that than needs to face following problem.
* EPF Office will be not allowed such Reduction in amount.
* Labour department will not allowed for Bonus and Gratuity amount.
* Minimum wage act will be considered or not needs to see.
Seniors please put some light on this.
Thanking you,

Hi,
My company has reduced my basic salary from 40% to 30% along with appraisal letter & kept the gross salary same by increasing the allowances & pf contribution but reduced gratuity & written that based on the performance, you are not eligible for salary increment & bonus.
As per the company " deduction or increment in salary can be made by the company basis performance at any point in time and it at the sole discretion of the management of the company ".
I hadn't accepted it & resigned.
please help me.

Dear Sir,
As the gross salary is the same, you need not worry about reduction of basic salary. You please try to improve your performance,
automatically, it will be increased.

Very preventive!! But, it is difficult to decide any of these kind of cases where we hardly know the facts of each side and conclude what's indeed being practiced.... there are some employees even fail to understand the clauses of the agreement in the way it is meant to be understood.........
Have a nice day........

Dear Forum members,
I will not agree with the views of our respected member D.Gurumurthy .
First & Foremost as per P.F. law you cannot reduce the Basic .
Further P.F is a long term benefit plan for the employee.
Hope the respected member will correct his views without prejudice.
