no way to fight with employer frd, if any defoult frm the company and if against labour law then u can sue against the company in labour court . according ur statement the employer depromote u and reduced the salary . we need the further details abt ur depromote. some time due to sudden cause of internal prop the company may reduced. so u give the correct reason then only give solution

Yes, I agree with Mr. Shankar

No employer can not reduce the salary arbitrarily. It can be only through a punishment after giving the employee full opportunity to defend. Law of natural justice has universal application. Employee can file a suit for recovery of his with held salary and if he is a workman as per definition under ID Act he can file a claim under section 33 C (2) before a Labour Court

Sankar,
Read my post, I have clearly told that due his poor performance, salary was reduced.
Is that sufficient?
Saravana Rajan 06 October 2008
Mr. Senthil,
There are a few aspects to be looked into,
1. Poor performance by the concerned employee has been evidentially proved.
2. The employee has acknowledged the revised pay package in writing.
3. His employment terms and conditions include such clauses for demotion / salary reduction in case of poor performance.
4. The employee is fully aware of his perfomance ratings from time to time before his salary is cut.
Subject to above conditions, the employee may not get any legal remedy. But otherwise he may.
Experts to pls opine.

Hi Mr.Senthil Kumar,
There cannot be any unauthorised deductions with regard to an employee's salary. If the deduction from salary happens to be an unauthorised one , then the emplyee concerned can very well take legal recourse which is available under the Payment of Wages Act. The employee can file a complaint to the Inspector or Competent Authority mentioned under the said Act.
With warm regards.
