The lockdown has impacted many businesses and some have shut due to financial crunch. Aviation industry is the most affected due to the lockdown and now Spicejet has decided to go back to their structure of paying the employees according to their working hours.
As per a report, on Sunday the airlines sent an email to its employees stating that India is currently going through one of the worst Covid-19 outbreaks in the world and passenger traffic has fallen to under 10% of pre-Covid levels.
The mail read, “Much like last year, the second wave of Covid-19 has hit the Indian aviation industry the hardest, but this time the impact has been much more severe especially on our industry. During this second wave the passenger traffic has fallen to less than 10% as compared to the pre-Covid levels.”
Announcing salary cuts, the airline mentioned, “Under these extreme and unavoidable circumstances which we are currently enduring, the company is reverting to the structure where employees will be paid according to the work hours contributed while maintaining basic thresholds.” However, salaries of the lowest grade employees will not be deducted, it added.
