Anna University — Smit college - pending salary

Address:	Sri Muthukumaran Institute of Technology, Chikkarayapuram, Mangadu, Chennai - 600 069
Website:	www.smit.edu.in

Myself Thiyagarajan was working as a Placement Officer in Sri
Muthukumaran Institute of Technology from 06.08.2016 to 31.06.2021.

With heavy heart, am writing this mail. No other institutions will treat their employees so granted like SMIT. They have treated employees like their slaves. We were thrown out or came out because of the highly controversial partiality treatment shown to us.

Im writing to this mail to seek help from Anna University & AICTE to take necessary actions against the Management of SMIT and to release my pending salaries.

As mentioned I was working as a Placement officer in Sri Muthukumaran Institute of Technology from 06.08.2021 to 31.06.2021, is almost a 5 years journey. My 5 years journey with SMIT rounds the table with lot o[censored]ntold painful paths. Which I want to share it here.
Here are the list of points I want to make

1. INTERNAL INVIGILATOR PAYMENTS NOT PAID: I have done many exam internal invigilation duties and Project Internal Examiner for MBA students. I haven’t received the payment yet. They are holding the payment for past 2 years. I don’t know for what reason they are holding it. I want these payments to be released as well.

2. SERVICE CERTIFICATE PARTIALITY: I was working as a Placement Officer during my entire career. In my offer letter my designation mentioned as Placement Officer Only. ID card provided also for the same JOB ROLE. But When I relieved from SMIT, I got my work experience certificate as Assistant Professor in MBA department.

3. MBA FACULTY SHORTAGE - Due to MBA faculty shortage, they have asked me to take classes for MBA students in the year 2017 for only one semester. I also agreed and took the class. From 2017 each semester I was given with 2 subjects. I ashamed to inform that only 3-4 staffs was there for more 150+ MBA students from 2017 to 2021. But during ANNA UNIVERSIT & AICTE inspection they have hired one day/ Two day staffs. Due to less number staffs, I was given additional subjects that added more burden to Placement Officer role.

4. 2019 JOBFAIR HR TRAVEL BILLS NOT CLEARED: During 2019 Jobfair was conducted in SMIT college premises, 24 companies were participated from Chennai and Coimbatore regions, I Have booked the cabs for HRs from various companies. I was asked to pay those bills and claim later. I have paid 7400 rs for CAB rental. Submitted the bills for the same to accounts department. But it’s been more than 3 years and I dint receive the payment till now after several attempts.

5. SUMMER VACATION DENIED – I was working in SMIT for close 5 years but I was denied Summer Vacation or any other Vacation (15 days – odd semester vacation & 15 days – even semester vacation – total 30 days). When every other staffs given the summer vacation, I was denied Vacation leaves stating various reasons and workloads.

6. JOB GUARANTEE FOR REJOINING: During 2018 May, 5 months’ salary was not given, when we staff put-together asked for our salaries. Immediately we all are got fired. I was also fired just for asking my salary. 2 months I was jobless and after that I got a job in KSRM College, Kadapa, AP with good salary package. When I came back to SMIT for getting my educational documents and services certificates. They asked me to rejoin with the assurance of Job security. I have rejoined SMIT with one condition for giving me job security. But within next 2 years once again I have to move out because of their ill treatment.

7. ILL TREATMENT OF STAFF AND SHOWING PARTIALITY – SMIT has ill treatment runs through its veins. During my 5 years I have faced lot of ill treatment and partiality. There was increment and other benefits to only particular staffs. In my 5 years tenure I never saw any increment in my salary.

8. UNJUSTIFIED LOSS OF PAYS – During my tenure, I was forced to face loss of pays, loss of pay for unwanted reasons. I have faces more than 10 times loss of pays for various reasons. Not only me, many other staffs faced the same issue.

9. PENDING SALARIES: During corona lockdown we are paid only half salary and we were assured by our management that our full salaries will be paid after lockdown. But till date we haven’t received our salary. But during that time we were forced to collect college fees fully from our students by phone call. My pending salaries details for your reference.
