Increment arrears and annual bonus

1. The email can help you to demand increment w.e.f. 1st Jan.

2. If it is statutory Bonus As per Payment of Bonus Act then it has to be paid by 30th Nov or employer can be penalized.

If it is some customary bonus or as per some agreement then it has to be paid since it is promised.

3. The amount and rate of leave encashment and notice pay is well defined in enactments applicable to the establishment e.g.

(Name of the state) Shops and Commercial Establishments Act..................................

The company can offer superior benefits but can not apply inferior to the provisions of the enactments applicable to it.

Approach an able Labor Law Consultant/Service Lawyer with all docs on record and proceed under his expert advice.

One thing to ask if incentive clause is not mentioned anywhere and employer is paid incentive for previous year and denied for next year can be claimed in appropriate court of law ?

@ Prashant Mane,

The perfromance incentive is also fruit of labor.

If it is yearly incentive then It is to be announced/discontinued before the period for incentive starts.

After the worker has toiled or an year employer can state that incentive is not available for past year.

As a legal officer you would appreciate that : Hearsay,rumor,gossip are not rules,policies.
