We are running a factory of 500 employees....
Is there any chances to reduce a employee salary which will not effect their ESI and EPFO Contribution.
for Example:- if XYZ salary is 60,000 and if we revised his salary to 50,000 will it be a problem???(there will be no effect in ESI PF Contribution)
please suggest us sir is there any option as per act.

Your query does not specify facts correctly. How can you reduce salary but keep the ESI contributions at earlier levels?
Before affecting change in wage structure 21 days prior notice has to be given to affected employees, The notice has to be given as per the first item of Fourth Schedule (under section 9A) of The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. If you affect changes without giving prior notice & if labour authorities come to know about it, you could be in trouble. After all reducing wages is serious, not many do it.

See the correct legal way is to reduce the employee compensation in proportion to salary and keep the employer contribution as it is, that if you are willing to keep the contribution constant.

Mr Pagepoint,
You cannot reduce salary of workmen. Please read Payment of Wages Act. Reduction of salary is deduction of salary and you can deduct every thing which is allowed as deduction.
How would you like to reduce your own salary? I presume you are in HR.

There is no law preventing reduction of salary, except where it is done to lower or reduce incidence of tax or to force the employee to absorb the same.
However, the salary reduction cannnot be done unilaterally. You need concurrence of the concerned employees. You need to follow the rules laid down in industrial dispute act, standing orders, etc.
