Due to the global pandemic, many companies are facing financial decline, and in order to sustain their business, they have to plan different ways to survive. Just like how employees get bonuses and incentives during the success of the company, they are also likely to get a low salary or reduction in pay.

The relation between an employer and an employee is a legal link and a mutual reliance. So, the need of the hour requires both the parties to cooperate with each other and sustain the business and employment.

Here is a mail consent template to be used as a salary reduction agreement stating an agreement between a company and its employees.
