Dear Mr. L. Kumar,
The Company is a Crew Bos Ltd. & the claim is for my wife.
She was confimed of appraisal wef 1st april 2007 some time in May 2007.
After she did not recieve same in her june salary, she started comunicating regarding the same & then she applied for maternity from
sep to jan 2008. After Jan she has applied for leave without pay until
March 2008.
Senario is, that despite repeated reminders & personal visits, the company
is not willing to give the appraisal. Moreover her materniy is also held
by the company on the pretext that it will not be given until she submits
back the appraisal letter.
She has worked for little over 12 months before going for maternity. Company has compeled some employees to resign where they
have been unable to reach their desired settlement rest have been
awarded the benifits.
We are looking for an opinon before any action.
Thanks,
Basant

Dear Mr Basant
I think this issue was discussed at length in this forum a few days back
The post was about the management saying that they will pay only one either the Maternity benefit or the arrers
I advised to accept arrers and suurender maternity as it is one time benefit whereas increments will keep accruing.
Is this the same case??

Dear Sender
I do agree with Mr. Siva that your wife may accept arrears and can surrender her mb benefits to company. As arrers is being benefit continuously available, she may opt for that.

Dear Mr. Siva/Mr. L. Kumar,
Thank you both for your valuable time.
Yes Mr. Siva it is the same case. But the suggestions were given by you
& not made by company. Company is not willing to agree for Increment
at all. Nor are the releasing the Maternity Benifit. All they want now is that somehow we surrender the increment letter.
I dont mind if my wife resigns & contest for her case. I Understand
the legal hardships. Point is what value does the Increment letter Hold??
Can company fool around with people & mess up their career like this?

Dear friend
You can fight it in the court You will win
But calculate the money that you would get.
Your wife resigns and goes to court for the arrears.
Courts gives an order in her favour after four years.
You may get some money. But you would have lost the entire money that your wife would have earned otherwise by working which will be much much higher.
Financially it does not make sense.
If you want to fight on priciples, and if you think you can bear the cost and hardship, then you can. You get satisfaction. But noone is going to praise you for that unless you fight for the cause of many
Think and act
My suggestion is make your wife to leave the company peacefully and look for a job in a better company
