Kingfisher to expedite payment of October salary to employees

October 24, 2012 12:01

Apparently succumbing to pressure from its employees demanding clearance of salary dues, the Kingfisher management today said it would expedite payment of October salary ahead of Christmas and claimed that "most" of them had agreed to resume work from Friday.

In a fresh letter to the striking staffers, airline CEO Sanjay Aggarwal said, "We have received several requests asking for status of salary for the duration of partial lock-out period and asking for salary in December 2012 to be paid one week earlier than December 31, 2012. I am pleased to confirm that as a goodwill gesture, the company will pay full October salary to all employees and we commit to paying the same prior to Christmas, 2012."
