Underpayment Rectification refers to the process of identifying, correcting, and compensating for instances where employees have received less payment than they were legally or contractually entitled to. This includes adjusting historical payroll records, calculating the correct amount owed including any applicable interest or penalties, and issuing back payments to affected employees. The process often involves reviewing pay records, time sheets, and employment agreements to ensure compliance with labor laws, minimum wage requirements, overtime regulations, and contractual obligations.
Imagine discovering that your bank has been giving you less interest than promised – that’s how employees feel when they’re underpaid. Underpayment rectification is basically fixing payroll mistakes that shortchanged employees. It’s like realizing you’ve been getting ₹90 when you should have been getting ₹100 – and then making it right.
