Matching of Online attendance absentee with ERP leave for salary deduction

Details

Published Date

AIGETOA Kerala placed its strong resentment against the unilateral overhaul of procedures without taking into account of field realities where by the online attendance absentee is matched with ERP leave and subsequent direction of salary deduction. Aim of implementation of any system should be in overall benefit of BSNL and its employees. The order itself is contradicting in nature where the liability for entry of leave is differed from the leave availed employee. The non-uniformity in working days and the disparity of working atmosphere of employees who works in administrative office versus those in field, rotation of post transfers also needed to be addressed properly before any such decisions otherwise the employees will be demoralized further. There no mentioning of corporate office approval/guidelines for enacting such system of salary deduction. Denial of salary through any order without corporate office direction that too when the employee is being forced to wait for weeks together to get even his or her regular salary is not acceptable for this association.
