Remuneration

Hi all.  If a company is going through difficult financial times, and want to cut employees salaries, benefits etc.  If the employees do not agree, then retrenchment will follow.  What happens if the employee does not agree to the cut in remuneration?  What form of consultation should take place?Kind regards.

Sean Bowes replied to Des Squire's discussion Should we become involved with employees personal problems?
"Hi Des I feel that employees should tell us when they have personal problems so that we are aware of it to provide support and understanding if their work performance drops. I am not saying that employers must solve the problems, because sometimes…"

Sean Bowes commented on Gail Dawson's blog post Smoke breaks taken by Office Employees
"This is good input, as in our company there are numerous complaints of smokers taking extra time off.  I agree that if smokers get 20 minutes a day, then so should non-smokers.  However, it would be much more beneficial to a company…"

"Hi Sean, Sorry I didn't pick this up earlier. If it's a fixed term contract, I would suggest that you would only be reminding the employee that the contract will terminate, and so you're not actually giving notice. Unless of course…"
