TVS Motor Company Announces Salary Cuts For Employees

TVS Motor Company is one of the first two-wheeler brands in India to announce salary cuts for employees in the face of the current COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown. The lockdown has forced a near total halt in manufacturing and production, as well as retail sales of all automotive brands. According to a statement by TVS, the company has decided to adopt a pay cut for all its employees starting from the month of May 2020 till October 2020. This is seen as a result of the significant fall in the company's sales numbers due to the countrywide lockdown.

There will be no salary deduction at the workmen level. However, there will be 5 per cent salary reduction at the junior executive level and about 15 per cent to 20 per cent at the senior management level. It was heartening to see employees coming forward and offering to take salary reduction voluntarily."
