What is fitment factor?

Fitment factor is the number by which the old basic salary of the employees is multiplied to determine the new salary. According to reports, employee organizations are demanding fitment factor from 3.00 to 3.50. If fitment factor of 3.25 applies. So there can be a good increase in the basic salary of the employees.
