3.1 BASIC SALARY
A workman holding any post in the company shall draw (as basic pay) the basic pay fixed
for the post and if, there is a time scale, the stage in the time scale at which he is
placed from time to time. A workman on a time scale of pay promoted to a higher scale of
pay, unless the management places him at a still higher stage, shall draw as initial basic
pay on the new scale the higher of the following, viz (a) the minimum of the higher scale
and (b) the stage in the new scale next above the amount arrived at by increasing his
basic pay in the lower scale on the date of promotion by one increment in such lower scale
(this shall be the next increment that would have fallen due to him had he continued in
that scale or, if he had already reached the maximum of that scale, the amount of the last
increment in that scale) whether or not the amount thus obtained is a stage in the new
scale; and, in every such case, his next increment in the new scale shall fall due on
completion of the prescribed period in the new scale from the date of promotion. If a
workman who was not on a time scale of pay, is promoted to a time scale of pay, he shall
draw as his initial basic pay in such scale, such amount as is fixed by the management;
provided, however, that his total monthly salary shall not be reduced by such promotion,
and the date of his first increment in the scale shall fall due on the expiry of the
prescribed period of eligible service in such scale.
If a workman is transferred from one post to another, he shall, during the interval of
duty between the date of his handing over charge of the old post and the date of his
taking over charge of the new post, draw the basic pay of the old or the new post
whichever is less. If such a transfer or promotion is ordered in the case of a workman at
the beginning or during a period of leave, he shall draw the basic pay of the old post
upto the date on which the order for transfer or promotion is issued and thereafter, till
the date on which he takes over charge of the new post, he shall draw the basic pay of the
old or the new post whichever is less.

3.2 INCREMENT
Increment shall depend on efficiency and conduct and will be considered on 1st july of
each year for confirmed workmen. The period of service spent on extra – ordinary
leave will not count for increments. Periods of unauthorised absence or any authorised
absence, other than ESI leave, during which he is not eligible for pay as also periods of
suspension (other than suspension pending enquiry, which is later regularised on the
workman being absolved of the charges) will also not count for increments. Increment has
to be sanctioned by the management before a workman becomes eligible for the same. The
management reserves the right to withhold or delay or refuse any increment, with or
without cumulative effect, if in the opinion of the management there are sufficient
reasons to do so.

3.4 WHEN PAYABLE
The salary of a workman for his service during each month will be paid on or before the
1st working day of the next month and will be paid on that day. However, the management
reserves the right to postpone the payment of the salary to any day not later than the
seventh day of the subsequent month, if it becomes necessary foe any reason to postpone
such payment; provided that a notice to this effect indicating the date on which the
salary would be paid is displayed on the Notice Board prior to the last working day of the
month concerned.
Any unclaimed salary shall be disbursed on a convenient day as decided by the management.
Where the employment of any workman is terminated, the salary due to him shall be paid
before the expiry of the second working day from the day on which his employment is
terminated, subject to the production by the workman, of a clearance certificate issued by
the competent authority nominated by the management in this behalf.
