The long pending wage revision talks between the General Insurers' (Public Sector) Association of India (GIPSA) and the various employee unions have begun in a bad taste. The talks were held on Wednesday. The GIPSA, the lobby body for the four government owned multiline non-life insurers and the General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re) made their offer that was expected to be rejected and the unions rejected the same. The wage revision for the public sector general insurance employees was due from August 1, 2017. "The GIPSA offered seven per cent hike on the wage bill (without any wage arrears from 2017) or five per cent wage hike with two per cent of arrears," Sanjay Jha, Secretary Standing committee (General Insurance, All India Insurance Employees Association-AIIEA), told IANS. Jha said the AIIEA and other unions have rejected the 'disappointing' offer. According to him, the Joint Forum of Trade Unions and Associations will hold demonstrations during the lunch recess demanding a respectable wage offer maintaining insurance sector parity. "The financial position of the companies in 2017 was good. There is no reason for the management to make such an offer. Perhaps it is done to delay the wage revision further," said Vijay Sharma, President, National Confederation of General Insurance Officers Association (CONFED) and All India President of New India Assurance Officers Association. Sharma said the employees expect at least a 15 per cent hike offer, similar to what was given to the employees of Life Insurance Corporation of India.

PSU insurance unions angry with the 7% salary hike offer, seek LIC-like hikes

The new fiscal year 2020-21 has started for about 1.14 lakh employees of <keyword id="6368369" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="life-insurance-corporation-of-india">Life Insurance Corporation of India</keyword> (<keyword id="6367143" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="LIC">LIC</keyword>) on a happy note with over 25 per cent hike in their <keyword id="44629" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="pay-packets">pay packets</keyword>, said a top union leader. The Central government on Thursday notified the revised pay packets for <keyword id="532212" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="LIC-EMPLOYEES">LIC employees</keyword>. The wage revision is effective from 1.8.2017. "The employees are happy with the wage revision that has come at a difficult situation. The pay hike for the employees is expected to be over 25 per cent per month," <keyword id="11107200" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="shreekant-mishra">Shreekant Mishra</keyword>, General Secretary, <keyword id="699829" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="All-India-Insurance-Employees-Association">All India Insurance Employees Association</keyword> (AIIEA) told IANS. He said a loading of 15 per cent has been given after 100 per cent neutralization of dearness allowance (DA) at 6,352 points of consumer price index (CPI). An additional Special Allowance ranging between ₹1,500 to ₹13,500 per month has been introduced for all cadres, which shall be reckoned for the purpose of calculation of dearness allowance (DA) but will not count for any other purpose i.e. house rent allowance, city compensatory allowance, privilege leave encashment, gratuity, superannuation benefit and others. Mishra said the overall increase in LIC's total wage bill will be about ₹2,700 crore per year. Mishra also said it will be five day week for LIC employees. "In the first round, the management offered 10 per cent wage hike and it was revised upwards in the second round to 15 per cent. We said the offer does not meet our expectations," Mishra said. According to Mishra, the 15 per cent wage hike offer was made on September 30, 2020 and the first offer of 10 per cent hike was made in March 2019. "We were having regular discussions with the management on the wage revision," Mishra said. The AIIEA had submitted a charter demanding 40 per cent wage hike. In the last wage agreement, the hike given was 25 per cent at average. Mishra said the unions next focus is to conclude wage revision for the employees of the government companies in the general insurance sector. The management of the four government owned general insurance companies are yet to call a meeting of the unions there for wage revision talks, he added.

However, the stock slipped nearly 7% when the market opened for trade on Monday (Jan 17). <div type="image" title="hcl tech share" height="900" width="1200" msid="88944640" hostid="261"></div>The reason for the street’s disappointment was the operating profit margin of 19% which didn’t grow at all, compared to three months earlier, while the revenue grew sharply. Salary hikes and cost of hiring and retaining employees are eating into the profit, according to analysts at Sharekhan, a Mumbai-based broking firm. So much so that the company has cut its operating margin (earnings before interest and taxes) guidance for the full year ending March 2022 to 19% from the earlier estimate of 19-21%. The reason is the sharp jump in attrition, which has more than doubled since the end of March 2021. <div type="image" title="hcl tech attrition" height="900" width="1200" msid="88944657" hostid="261"></div>While the costs are rising, the business is growing too. The management at HCL Tech expects a double digit growth i.e anything above 10%, for the full year ending March 2022. That’s quite encouraging. <div type="image" title="hcl tech reve" height="900" width="1200" msid="88944667" hostid="261"></div>The question is whether this will result in higher profits as well. Analysts at Motilal Oswal believe that all the growth on the topline will trickle down to profit next year onwards. In a report dated Jan 17, Motilal Oswal has increased the earnings estimate for the year ending March 2023 by 2%.
