Dear Mr. Rajeet,
Increment to employees extended based upon the preceding year's fair performance. Working aspect of 240 days in the increment year is also considered in some organizations. The employee in questiion, was on rolls when the inrements announced by the company, though arears disbursed in December. In my opinion the employee is entitled & rightly asking for the arears of seven month's increment, despite of getting his full and final. Hope the people oriented approach of your management certainly help in settling the issue amicably.
With warm regards

Dear Jeeni,
After going through the responses given, I feel that you have been guided rightly by Mr.Akhil Gupta. In my opinion though increments are decided based on the past performance of employees, the fact that it is given, is to motivate employees to continue their good performance in the succeeding years. For example, if you had decided to promote the same person based on the past performance or if you have decided a wage cut for him due to company's poor performance and the decision was taken in December 2012 and he has left the organisation in October 2012, can you promote him or effect the wage cut, as he is no longer on the rolls of the company. Even assuming you promote him despite the above fact, will he come back and rejoin, as he has already left the organisation for reasons whatsoever. The crux of the matter is increment is a policy decision of the management and will be effected only for those employees who are on the rolls of the establishment on the date of announcement irrespective of the fact that it is given retrospectively.
The only aspect the left employee is entitled is Bonus for the period he served April 2012 to October 2012 and that too if he is entitled either as per Statutory provision or company policy (Ex - gratia if it has been in practice in the past).

Dear Ranjeet,
Mr. Akhil & Kannan have correctly said that, he is not eligible for any thing now as he was not working with the organization at that time. Please also check your bonus, salary and appraisal processes. It should be mentioned in the policies that, if a person leaves before the completion of the year, than he will not be eligible for any bonus etc.
First you should not reply to his such emails, but if you want to than please write down briefly the reasons why he is not allowed.
Also you can mention, as you had given the hikes in this year, so he is sending such emails, what would had he done if you would have decreased the salaries and other benefits. Would have he given back that amount?
Also if his F&F settlement is done and and he has signed on the amount and other documents than he cant do anything.
