Navigating through cost-cutting in these trying times can be a complex task for employers. It's inspiring to witness many businesses reaching out to us for innovative solutions to retain their workforce while reducing operational expenses, instead of dismissing more employees.
Whether you're an employer or an employee, if you’re looking for financial adjustments or experiencing violations of your employment rights such as delayed wage payments or untimely pension contributions – this article is for you.
How do you navigate this?
Rule one: Uphold at least the minimum standards stipulated by labor laws, including minimum wage and sick leave pay.
Rule two: Always secure employee agreement before initiating any changes.
What if an employee disagrees, or changes are enforced without agreement? It can lead to the tough call for dismissal, or a resignation prompted by such circumstances.
Remember, the 'how' in executing change can distinguish a successful strategy from one that harms your reputation and employee morale.
