Plane tickets for employees
By linearcross •
I had to ask someone for help, i have been in the company since 2006 and never use my tickets . In my contract , i can take a leave for 30 days in a year( back and forth tickets) , but since 2006 i only took my leaves locally since my family is here. Now, i got a release and transferred to a new company. un fortunately the company policy also has changed stating that only the last ticket will be given in the final settlement. Is this legal, the hr dept just dismissed my case. I was hoping to get at least 3 of my tickets in cash.because i never used them anyway.I have not signed any documents yet until i know for certain that what they did is legal, I was a good employee, how can thay do this to me?
at the time you are supposed to take your vacation. But having waited at the end, a gray area was seen and being exploited by the company. You lost in the HR, go higher until you reached the highest manager you can approach in your company. If nothing happen, then appeal your case to the Labor or Human Rights Ministry!
Contracts are sometimes very hard to understand. Basically, in a written contract, problems arises from those which are actually not specified on the contract itself.
There is a saying that "what you don't know won't hurt you" but it is not true.
Bear in mind that a contract not only binds you with the company. The company is also binded to you. Both ways, you should pay your obligations to each other as per the contract.
The point is, whatever is written in the contract should be followed.
If you haven't used your previous tickets, I am afraid you cannot retreive it anymore, usually that is a case, but in some instances, there might be an exception.
For a more fair and justified advice, I think you should coordinate with the LABOR OFFICE.
my suggestion, take it to the Labour Ministry and Human Rights. if ever, you're the first and they will beg you to stop the case you filed on them. :D hehe.
it happened to our company but with different scenario :)
in our company, they can actually convert the tickets (not used) into cash. that's a lot of money! :)
Yep same here, unless this was mentioned to you that you will either get ticket or cash, but everywhere you have to take your leave and ticket for that year else you will lose it.
you cannot claim tickets for the years passed by.
Was in it your contract that you could get tickets in cash? If not then the answer is no. Normally if you do not avail of a benefit in a year you lose it.
You can take a better advice on that from the Labor Department.
