Dear All,

Greetings. I'm working in a private company as an HR executive. My management needs to provide a revised offer letter for employees who have joined after maternity leave and have submitted their resignation but decided to continue. Is that advisable? Please guide.

Thank you.

It is not immediately possible until such circumstances arise or happen. Still there are chances in case of promotions and salary hikes.

Has the maternity leave benefit been provided to the employee? If yes, then there is no discontinuity in her present employment, so there must not be any requirement for issuing an offer letter.

If the employee has resigned from the services - irrespective of what the reason would be, that is totally an employee's decision - and as per the Legal HR formalities, his full and final settlement has to be done. Now, if the same employee again wants to rejoin the organization, then he has to apply with a fresh candidature, and accordingly, an offer letter has to be generated.

It is better to close the previous history when your ex-employee wants to join you again by performing full and final settlement formalities and preferring to start with a fresh candidature, with a fresh offer letter.

I am working in a Manufacturing unit in the HR Department, and the company wants to revise the Offer letter, including changes in the salary breakdown for the sales team. The salary will remain the same figure, but there will be some variable portions that will be performance-linked. Is it possible for us to proceed with this change?

An offer letter means a letter describing the terms and conditions of employment and is given or offered to a prospective candidate and not to an existing employee. If you need to revise the terms and conditions of employment, you have to give an office order describing the revised terms and conditions of employment. In the case of employees, i.e., workmen category of employees who are covered by the Industrial Disputes Act, any change in the service conditions should be intimated to them before 21 days of such change following section 9A of the said Act. The concerned workers can object to the changes and raise an industrial dispute also.

The revised service conditions on rejoining after maternity leave should not be less favorable to the employee. Moreover, you cannot have a service condition exclusively for those who have joined after a long leave. Similarly, you cannot change a condition of service of an employee who has resigned but is serving the required notice period that will adversely affect his relieving and full and final settlement.

There is nothing wrong in restructuring the salary of the sales team as part of the revision with more amount on variable. But what is to be ensured is that their fixed remuneration should not get reduced by such a restructure. This is because variable pay is an amount that is paid depending upon the fulfillment of certain conditions, say, targets. You can keep the fixed salary untouched and add any amount as variable as part of the increment offered.

A company cannot issue two offer letters to the same employee. However, the management of any company has the sole right to amend, modify, alter, or revise the offer letter. Instead of issuing another offer letter, you can issue a Modification Letter to the Offer letter with reference no. and date (fill up the required details) to employees for whom you want to change the terms and conditions.

The signatory of such communication should be the same person who signed the offer letter (or any higher authority than the signed authority).
