Also by various wage boards and pay commissions in the country. But this company has been struggling a lot because of a minor problem relating to administration of salary and benefits. The problem is stated hereunder.
The company employed nearly 400 national young graduate and post graduate engineers and 20 expatriate engineers. This employees form the cream of the company’s present human resource. The expatriate employees occupied higher position in all the departments including Human Resource Department. The company’s salary policy and benefit policy were formulated mainly on the basis of the expatriate employee’s desire. The base salary of the company is the same for both the expatriate and national employees. But expatriate receive additional allowances like international market allowance, educational allowance, settling-in allowance, car allowance, housing allowance and entertainment allowance. Thus, expatriate receives nearly 250% more salary than the nationals doing the same job.
The national employees demanded the management to pay equally with that of expatriates immediately. According to them, the pocket frustrates them severely.
