Dear Friends,
I am working in a medical devices company as AM - HR, and recently, I have designed a new compensation structure which is as follows:
Basic: 40% of Gross
HRA: 50% of Basic
Allowance 1: 20% of Gross
Allowance 2: Difference Amount
Conv: 800
Gross = Basic + HRA + All1 + All2 + Conv
Now, after implementing this structure, I am facing huge resistance from employees as their basic salary is reduced now.
Earlier, some employees were getting more basic, some were getting less basic as there was no structure or percentage.
Yes, we are deducting PF for all the eligible employees i.e.,
1. for whom we were deducting PF earlier
2. or those who now become eligible after reducing the basic
Now, I would like to know from all of you if it is right to reduce the basic to streamline/standardize the compensation structure.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,

Reducing the basic has an impact on indirect components like PF & Gratuity which employees might not be comfortable with. Even PF authorities question how the contribution is going down. Now that you have initiated a system, there will be resistance as they feel that they are losing out. Explain to them the need for a structure which is healthy & a good structure should have between 30-40% basic of gross. This will help the organization in the long run as their indirect payouts will come down over a period of time.
