Let them reply in writing. 

Dear all,

In this case, there is no policy established by the company on payment  of annual performance incentive. Further, my department head has approved this payment based on performance, the HR department head and Finance department head also have approved this payment. However, when this approval note was put up for MD & CEO's approval, it is withheld by him for the past 2 months without commenting on the note. MD & CEO is of the view that there should be specific parameters that should be designed for making this payment. However, there is no specific parameters defined by the company apart from the performance appraisal parameters. Already more than 1 year has passed and this payment is long overdue. But MD & CEO has withheld the payment without approving or rejecting the amount.

Kindly advise.

Regards,

Vijayan.

The extract of the policy from appointment letter, approvals by Dept Head, HR, and Finance can be of help to you.

If CEO/MD wants to make  change in policy the published version can be supplied to employee.

Either resolve by your own efforts or get support of employee’s unions/Greivance Redressal Committee/Works Committee/Guild/IC or your own counsel specializing in Labor/Service matters.

Next time be careful to get copies of rules/polices before signing the acceptance of employment.

Discretion of management in absence of any well laid/described and fair policy can be against interest of employee.

Thanks for the advice Kumar Doab,

However, by getting support of Greivance Redressal Committee/Works Committee/Guild/IC, are you meaning to approach the Nearest Labour Office/ Labour Officer in Charge?
 

NO.

These are as simple as terms for: united employees.

Ok. If i file a complaint with the nearest Labour Office, will it help to get the payment from the company?

Employee that is covered by the def. of 'Workman' can approach Labor Court/CGIT ( State/Central: as applicable in indivisual case).

Are you not a member of any employee's/Trade Unions?

Had you been a member you would have been properly informed.

Before approaching a forum, prefer to discuss with your own counsel at your location that speacializes in labor/service matters.
