Last week, 25,000 PVC staff were told throughout the company that they would receive 2.5 percent of salaries into force since July, just less than 3 percent increase in most employees last year.

It is said that the audit associates were affected by the transfer program last week lasting about 10 minutes.
PVC said, “We always keep the form of our business under review to respond to variable customer requirements, attribute and new opportunities rates.
“Occasionally we will need to reduce the roles as a consequence – such decisions are never taken lightly. We continue to invest in our people, including salary, promotions, bonuses and training.”
