33 EXIT POLICY
• Exit policy refers to the policy regarding the retrenchment of
the surplus manpower resulting from restructuring of industrial
units or the workers becoming unemployed by the closure of
sick units. The exit policy in its wider context covers the policy
for the compensation for the employees who leave the
organisation and the measures for their rehabilitation also.
NEED FOR THE EXIT POLICY
• Surplus manpower is a major problem of many
industrial units in India.
1. Surplus manpower increases costs which becomes a
major drawback in to days correct competitive market.
2. Many unviable risk units both in public and private
sector to be closed. Otherwise, they society has to
been the cost of the same.
3. Technology is converting industry from labour
intensive to capital intensive.
EXTENT OF OVERMANNING
• The overmanning has two dimensions, viz., the surplus
even with the existing technology employed by the
enterprises and the surplus that will emerge if the
existing technology is replaced by modem technology.
A study by Mrityunjaya Athreya, conducted in 1987,
revealed that the Steel Authority of India (SAIL) had a
surplus of 80,000 workers.
At least 50 per cent of the workers of the State road
transport undertakings were estimated to be surplus.
The same may be true of state electricity boards.
The figures given above give some indication of the
extent of the alarming overmanning of the Indian
economy.
VRS AND GOLDEN HANDSHAKE
• A popular method to trim the manpower is the
voluntary retirement scheme (VRS). Under the VRS,
employees who have attained forty years of age or
ten years of service would seek voluntary retirement.
The minimum benefits under this scheme would be
forty five days emoluments for each completed year
of service before normal date of retirement or the
monthly emoluments at the time of retirement
multiplied by the remaining months of service before
the normal date of service, whichever is less. The
benefits would be in addition to the amount that has
accrued to the Provident Fund as per the rules or to
the Gratuity fund whichever is applicable.
