Hi friends,
This is Vimala, HR in a Software Company. I am directly under the supervision and guidance of the Director, as ours is a start up company and there is no other HR. Due to non-regular sal payment and absence of appraisal after completion of one year and internal politics, employees started to resign and leave the company. Now, the Director is very upset with this and for couple of them he is saying he is not goin to pay their salary for last month, as they didnt complete their work. But the reason for them to leave early is that the Director has been shouting and scolding them. Now in this situation, what should I do as a HR? I need all your suggestion and advice please.
Expecting your response.
Thanks and regards,
Vimala

Vimala,
There are three questions to uncover
1 as your subject says should you be supporting employees or Mgmt?
2. Its a Start up company so i assume no HR Standards in place
3. Employees Leaving organization.
What i feel is you start addressing most important issues thats creeping into your organzation-Salaries not being paid in time, absense of appraisal and employees quiting.
Talk to your Director clearly regarding employees leaving and then tell suggest in few important areas that you would like to work on immediately and get solutions to the existing problems within -Salaries not being paid in time, absense of appraisal and employees quiting.
Fix up a time frame for all the three things and then start working in those key areas and get right policies in place and implement the same with immediate effect.
Once you have SMART [Simple-Measurable-Accurate-Realistic-Time Bound] Policies for your organization, i think you will have better system in place then you will defenetly find a change within Mgmt and Employees too.
HR is a support function and its has lots of startergic impact once we start framing policies, i dont say that you should either support mgmt or employees...it doesnt happy tht ways....its what is good in the interest of all....meaning WIN WIN Situation for Employees and the Employer. All your decisions are born out from Vision-Mission-Values-Objectives and Goals of Company as a whole.
Employer and Emplyee works under one roof to meet mutual objectives/goals.
Hope that helps,

Hi all,
Thanks a lot seniors for your suggestions. As you all told, HR should be in between the management and employees, I always strive to keep my employees happy and employer satisfied. But this is a situation where the employees are at no fault and they are denied their salary. Now after a couple have left with one month notice, the Director says he wont pay them as they left without completin their work. They are asking me to convice my boss and help them get their pay. I spoke to my Director, but he is stickin to his point.

Hi Vimala,
did you find out from the management, regarding non payment salary for the last few months to the employees. And one more thing, who is going out of the company, r they bilable to the company or they are in the Bench. First of all find out where is the problem , is there any problem with managemnet or employees. Once if you find out the problem where exactly it is, then you can be a flyover between Management and emplyees.
