Hi,
I had joined a company on March 26th and left on the 20th of November. In the offer letter, they stated that the Variable would be paid in 2 parts: 1st - from April to September, and the payment would be made on the 15th of December only if you were still an employee of the company on that date. The Variable constitutes a significant part of my CTC. I worked there for the entire 8 months (from April to November) and resigned because they did not have any further projects in hand. They always mentioned that it was risky to be on the bench and released me within one day. I observed a case where they terminated someone without notice but provided him with the full notice period amount and full variable before the 15th of December. Can I file a complaint in the consumer court against them to claim my 8 months' variable?
Thank you.

when you are aware of variable fact, then had to wait for getting it, or had to clear discussion about the benefit before resignation, after resignation there is least hope of getting any help in law
The Company Settlement Team has just sent me an email with F&F Calculations which doesn't include my Variable part (No mention of Variable). However, I personally contacted its HR, and he told me that it is not included because I left the company before the 15th of December.

Hi,
First of all, there is no consumer court involved in an employer-employee relationship. Besides this, the variable part is a very common practice and is paid only if the employee is in service at the end of 1 year of joining or package appraisal.

Dear Madam,
First of all, do not accept your FNF. Write to the top person of the organization, pointing out that you left the organization at their instance and against your will because of a lack of projects, and you were put on the bench. Therefore, you are entitled to the variant pay, and your FNF must include it.
Also, point out that your colleague who was asked to leave before the 15th of December was paid variable pay. They cannot amend the rule in an unjust manner. If it does not get settled at that level, then the appropriate authority will be the Labor Commissioner to lodge your complaint, and the Consumer Court will not have jurisdiction to handle your matter.
