The information obtained from the sample was analysed descriptively and percentages were used in summarizing these findings in tables. Explanations from open ended questions were used in justifying the findings. Through interview and questionnaire methods, it was observed that employees are highly influenced by salary package. Other benefits such as job satisfaction, job security, supervision, lack of employees’ participation, motivation, family issues and poor working environment are there but not so much influential compared to salary.
