I raise concern to HR, TL replied my performance is low that why we didn't give you shift allowance. My Manager gave rude reply "Request to stop unnecessary discussions and arguments and dont waste others time which is very precious". what to do now? Shift allowance is not relate to performance I per my understanding.

A.Dear Client,
If the payment of shift allowance does not depend upon your performance as per the offer letter or your contract of employment, then the management cannot deny or withhold the same outrightly which is amounted to unfair labour practice on the part of the employer/Company. To resolve such a discriminatory action and unfair labor practice, you need to file a complaint against the management before the concerned Labour commissioner, if you are not holding the position of Manager/Supervisor but a workman as defined u/s.2(s) of the Industrial Dispute Act failing which you can file an application u/s.33C(2) of the I D Act before the concerned Labour Court claiming dues from your employer. Otherwise, you have to file a civil suit before the Civil Court for appropriate relief in the matter serving a legal notice to the employer. In case you need any legal assistance in this regard, you may contact our legal team with relevant papers.
