Practical task.

Due to the financial crisis, the management of Company ” A +” has ordered a temporary reduction of wages for all employees by 30%. Workers were warned, the payment of reduced wages was planned to be paid after the period of 2 months from the warning date. However, some workers with high wages were furious, because the decision made, in their view, didn’t take into account  job function, responsibility and other things, made no sense to work better in case everyone would receive the same wage.

The employer did not agree and expressed the intention to release anyone who would oppose such a decision.

 Indeed, some workers who disagreed with the employer’s decision were fired after 2 months.

However, there was not enough money to provide a full payment with the redundant workers and to pay the salaries to the remaining workers. The director of the company suggested to the employees to take office equipment, which were in the office. The opinions of the employees were divided. A few weeks later, the situation did not improve. Those workers who refused to take the equipment immediately agreed to the offer, but the equipment was over.

The director apologized and wished all the best to all workers; wish them to find another good job soon.

Employees ask for legal advice.
