Dear Sir,

With regards it is to bring under your notice that I am working with Private Limited Company in Bangalore,India.I am working as a Sr.Customer Service Executive since one & half years(Joined on 6th July,2011).When I join the organization I was told that I will get salary appraisal after 6months(Even in hand book also it’s mentioned “Appraisal will be twice in a year”)but now my concern Manager says that I will get the appraisal after completion of the one year but as of now I have completed one & half year but still I haven’t received a single appraisal from organization.When I referred him about the “Hand Book”he said it’s wrong printing.If it’s a wrong printing than why the Hr head is still sending the same “Hand book”to all the employees.Even on our web-site also it’s mentioned that “we give appraisal twice in a year”I tried to raise my voice but I was humiliated & threatened to be terminated from the job.As my age is 49yrs so I have to keep quiet as it is very difficult to get the job at this age.More over I am very much harassed by my “Manager” it’s because I asked for the salary appraisal.He wants me to quit he job so he doesn’t have to give me the salary appraisal & he can hire a new employee

with old salary structure.He is torturing me mentally.I humbly request you to please guide me what should I do?Because of my age he is harassing me too much.Plesae help me to solve this problem.I will be highly thankful to you.

With kind regards,

Suhas

This is fairly standard : to save on cost, he is trying to edge you out. You should confront him, give him an earful and then when he gets angry hand in your resignation. Self-respect is far more important than earning money at your age. Izzat se jiyo.

Dear Suhas

I am sorry to hear, although I would agree with ZONER that this is fairly standard in India.

The following may be of help:

Please confirm the exact nature of your work and your monthly (basic) remuneration. The reason I ask you this, is because, there is a good chance that you will be covered by the shops and establishments act (SEA) of Karnataka. The SEA has few provisions relating to conditions of employment, termination etc, which may be of help.

Please also confirm if this private limited company is engaged in any manufacturing work and the number of employees that your company has. If in case, this Company qualifies as an “industry” and you as a “workman”, you will be protected by the provisons of the industrial disputes act (which is a pro-worker legislation).

Please confirm the above. If possible, please speak with a practising lawyer.

Thanks and Regards
