Hi
I need to understand if I can initiate a legal proceedings against the non payment of a salary component from HCL Technologies.
HCL has a component Performance Bonus as a part of the salary structure. Its 8% of the Total salary.
As the name states the component is paid based on the ratings we get during our year end appraisal.
The cycle for the evaluation(Performance) is July to June.
When the appraisal started, we need to gather feedback from our leadership team, I had very good ratings from them. All the feedbacks are captured in HCL portal.
I have the screenshot for all this feedbacks. And few mails from the leaders on my performance for this cycle.
I resigned from HCL in the month of July. After my resignation they did not pay my performance bonus in the regular cycle. On question they said, the Bonus will be paid in the full and final settlement.
But when it was not paid in my full and final settlement, they said my rating in the appraisal is very poor, so they did not pay the bonus.
In the previous appraisal cycle I was rated Outstanding i.e. 1.
My Questions:
1. Why did they realized my poor performance only after I left the organisation. Do they have any mail in communication stating my performance improvement prior to my resignation.
2. How did a consultant rated top by the leadership can underperform the very next cycle.
3. What is the value of the feedback we receive from the same ledership team on the mails and the HCL portal.
This is not something happened to me, this happens to everyone who reasign during this period.
Guide if I can initaite legal action against HCL. Please reach me at 9972463918, or mail your response to nura06@gmail.com
