Is attendance compulsory for CG employees on the implementation day (01.01.2016) of the 7th CPC recommendations

Is attendance compulsory for Central Government employees on the implementation day (01.01.2016) of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations?

Central Government employees are wondering if there will be any consequences of taking leave on January 1, 2016, the date of implementation of the 7th Pay Commission report.

The recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission regarding the salaries and perks for the Central Government employees will come into effect from January 1, 2016 onwards. Many are curious to find out the connection between the date of implementation of 7th CPC and reporting to work on the day.

Normally, the date of joining work, date of getting the promotion, date of receiving the increments, transfer date, and retirement dates are very important for a Central Government employee. In the average service period of a Central Government employee, he/she is likely to witness two or three Pay Commissions. Keeping this in mind, it would be better to not absent oneself on January 1, 2016.

“All Central Government employees are advised to report to work on January 1, 2016 (Friday).”

“This is especially so for those who are on long leave. It will help them avoid a lot of problems in future.”

“If 01.01.2016 is announced as a holiday, it will be better to report to work the next day.”

If the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are going to be implemented from 01.01.2016 onwards, then the employees will have to come to work that day to accept these recommendations. If he/she is absent on the day, then the day they return to work will be treated as the day they had accepted the new recommendations.

If an employee not to report on the date of implementation, this could delay the benefits of the 7th Pay Commission. This could also cause financial losses too due to pay revision as per the recommendations of new pay commission.

According to existing rules, in order to qualify for the annual increment, an employee has completed 6 months or more in the revised pay structure, as on 1st July. A delay of even a single day could deny you an increment, as per the rule.

It is not easy to calculate the date of promotion for Central Government employees. Normally, promotions are granted with retrospective effect. Let us assume that the promotion was given with effect from 01.01.2016. Not reporting to work on that day could cause a number of problems.

Since the government rules are bound to be changed arbitrarily, one can never be sure of the kind of troubles it could cause them. Therefore, it is better to go to work on 01.01.2016.

The recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission were implemented on 01.01.2006, a Sunday. Therefore, the next day was taken as the assumption date. One might remember that the government had issued another order to avoid the confusions that resulted due to this. (Click to view the order)

Even those who are on long leave for any particular reason are advised to report to work on January 1, 2016 at least and then continue with their leave. This will help them avoid a lot of problems.

CHANGE OF CLOSED HOLIDAY FOR "MILAD - E - NABI" FROM 23.12.2015 TO 24.12.2015

CHANGE OF CLOSED HOLIDAY FOR "MILAD - E - NABI" FROM 23.12.2015 TO 24.12.2015 - ORDER ISSUED BY CGEWCC, TAMILNADU

ACCORDING TO 7TH CPC REPORT, NET INCREASE IS ACTUALLY VARIES FROM 1% TO 4 %

Confederation Of Central Government Employees And Workers Karnataka State

Wage hike and trade union action 

Comrades ,

The 7th CPC has cheated the 35 lakhs Central Government Employees and 50 lakhs pensioners, by announcing meagre 14.29% wage hike, in actual term of increase for serving employees after deduction of Income tax, enhanced subscription of CGEIS,licence fee, CGHS etc the net increase is actually varies from 1% to 4 % increase.

The similar situation was existing for central Government employees during the 5th CPC , as the 5th CPC had recommended 20% wage hike after strike notice was served then the Third Front Government agreed to provide 40% wage hike, recently the 6th CPC had provided 54% wage hike.This is lowest wage hike by any pay commission.

The Central Government Employees are having 10 years wage revision against the basic principle of 5 years wage revision adopted by all other Government agency such as Banks Employees, PSU employees etc. The bank employees were initially offered around 10% wage hike , after sustained trade union action they got 15% wage hike from with effect from 1st November 2012. Cumulatively it works out to more than 35 % wage hike for 10 years. The AP and Telangana state government employees got recently 40 % wage hike the pay commission of AP had also adopted Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms and fixed at Rs 13,000/- minimum wage as on 1st July 2013 , if we calculate the minimum wage on this basis for the Central Government Employees the minimum wage works out to Rs 25,000/- and fitment formula of 3.57 .

Comrades let us fight united under the NJCA banner to achieve a decent wage hike, the 7th CPC has erred in the calculation of minimum wage for the Central Government Employees it has fixed at Rs 18000/ against the staff side demand of Rs 26,000/-. while calculating the minimum wage as per Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms the 7th CPC has taken wrong prices of the essential items for example the price of one kg of pulses as Rs 97.84 against the market price of Rs 180/- , similarly the price of one kg of rice and wheat as Rs 25.93 against the market price of Rs 50/- & Rs 40, and 7th CPC has modified the Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms. The 7th CPC has taken 125% DA into consideration, at present the DA is likely to cross 125% , the prices of essential commodity including rice and pulses are showing increase in last month and further rise due to floods and draught in many states.

Overall the 7th CPC has erred in calculation of minimum wage for the Central Government Employees there by denying the correct fitment formula and right wage hike. Comrade it is time to mobilize, educate and prepare for trade union action. Like bank employees we should also get right wage agreement.

Comradely yours

முக்கியமாக அஞ்சல் பகுதிக்கு மறுக்கப்பட்ட  அம்சங்கள் :- 

Postal Assistant/Sorting Assistant

11.8.23  They have demanded enhancement of minimum educational qualifications for Direct

Recruits for Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants from Class XII to Graduation and the entry

grade pay from GP 2400 to GP 4200. Lower Selection Grade (LSG) and Higher Selection

Grade (HSG) II and I, which are promotional posts in this cadre, have accordingly been sought

to be placed in higher levels. 

Analysis and Recommendations

11.8.24 The Commission is of the view that there is no justification for the upgrade sought. 

Postman Cadre

11.8.28 The existing hierarchy of Postmen Cadre is as follows: Post Grade Pay Entry Level Qualification and Method of Filling Postman 2000 Class X: 50 percent by DR 50 percent by promotion from MTS  MTS 1800 Class X or ITI  They have demanded that the grade pay of Postman may be enhanced from GP 2000 to GP 2800. 

Analysis and Recommendations

11.8.29 The Commission has noted that VI CPC had consciously recommended upgradation 

of the Postman in Department of Posts and the analogous post of Mail Guard in Railway Mail

Service to their present level. The Commission has noted the entry level qualifications

prescribed (Class X or ITI for MTS) as also the work content, and is of the view that there is no justification for further raising the entry grade pay of Postman. 

Post Office (PO) and Rail Mail Service (RMS) Accountants

11.8.30 There are demands for creation of a separate cadre for the accountants of this cadre 

and placing them at par with organised accounts cadres.

11.8.31 The Commission is, however, of the view that the proposal is in the nature of cadre  restructuring, which is not in its ambit. 

Rail Mail Service (RMS) Mail Guard

11.8.32 The hierarchy of RMS Mail Guard is as follows: 

Post Grade Pay Entry level Qualification and Method of Filling Sorting Assistant 2400

50 percent DR with Class XII 50 percent through LDCE from Postman (three yrs of service)

and MTS (five yrs of service) Mail Guard 2000 Class X for Direct Recruits (50 percent DR,

50 percent by promotion, 25 percent from MTS and 25 percent from GDS) MTS 1800 Class X or ITI Higher GP 2400 has been demanded for Mail Guards. Demands have also been received for

merger of the cadres of Mail Guard with Sorting Assistants in GP 2400. 

Analysis and Recommendations

11.8.33 The Commission has noted that mail guards are posted in Transit Mail Offices and 

Transit Sections (Trains) and their duties and responsibilities are considered arduous in nature.

It is also noted that the VI CPC had consciously established relativity between Mail Guard, 

Postman and Constables of Central Police Organizations. As no modification in the grade pay of Postman is recommended, the Mail Guard shall also be placed in same pay level. 

Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS)

11.8.36 They have demanded higher GP 2000 for MTS-domestic posts and GP 2400 for MTS-

foreign posts, stating that the two job profiles require greater skills as compared to MTS of

other departments. Higher educational qualification for entry into MTS-foreign posts has also

been proposed. 

Analysis and Recommendations

11.8.37 The Commission is of the view that given the minimum entry level qualification of 

Class X, and the job content of MTS-domestic posts, the existing entry GP 1800 appears to be

appropriate. In so far as MTS-foreign posts are concerned, it is noted that they have, as Packers

of Foreign Posts, been treated as skilled workers and accordingly, in the wake of a judgement

of the High Court of Delhi, they were provided GP 1900. No upgrade is considered necessary for either MTS-domestic or MTS-foreign posts. 

Gramin Dak Sewaks

11.8.48 A demand has been made before the Commission for treating Gramin Dak Sewaks 

(GDS) as civil servants at par with other regular employees for all purposes.

Analysis and Recommendations

11.8.49 The Commission has carefully considered the demand and noted the following: 

a. GDS are Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in rural

areas. 

b. As per the RRs, the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post is

Class X. 

c. GDS are required to be on duty only for 4-5 hours a day under the terms and conditions

of their service. 

d. The GDS are remunerated with Time Related Continuity Allowance (TRCA) on the

pattern of pay scales for regular government employees, plus DA on pro-rata basis. 

e. A GDS must have other means of income independent of his remuneration as a GDS,

to sustain himself and his family. 

11.8.50 Government of India has so far held that the GDS is outside the Civil Service of the

Union and shall not claim to be at par with the Central Government employees. The Supreme

Court judgment also states that GDS are only holders of civil posts but not civilian employees.

The Commission endorses this view and therefore has no recommendation with regard to GDS. 

Separation of Cadres

11.8.51 System Administrators and Marketing Executives have demanded creation of separate 

cadres with higher pay scales. Presently incumbents of these posts are drawn from the cadre of

Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistant Cadre. 

11.8.52 The V and the VI CPC have also dealt with this issue and have not recommended

separation of cadres. The Commission also does not see any rationale for creating separate cadres. 

Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP)

5.1.44 Although a number of demands were received for increasing the frequency of MACP as well as to enhance the financial benefit accruing out of it, this Commission feels that the

inherent issues in the existing pay structure owing to which there was widespread resentment have been set right by way of rationalisation of pay levels, abolition of pay band and grade pay and introduction of a matrix based open pay structure. Hence, there is no justification for increasing the frequency of MACP and it will continue to be administered at 10, 20 and 30 years as before. In the new Pay matrix, the employees will move to the immediate next level.

BENCH MARK FOR MACP AND PROMOTIONS:-

5.1.45 There is, however, one significant aspect where this Commission feels that a change is

required. This is with regard to the benchmark for performance appraisal for MACP as well as

for regular promotion. The Commission recommends that this benchmark, in the interest of improving performance level, be enhanced from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good.’ In addition, introduction of more stringent criteria such as clearing of departmental examinations or mandatory training before grant of MACP can also be considered by the government. 

என்ன  கொடுமை  இது  ! அடிமைச்  சந்தையா  ?

NON PERFORMER  என்று யார் வேண்டுமானாலும் எப்படி  வேண்டுமானாலும்  முடிவு செய்ய முடியுமே  ! இதற்கு  MECHANISM  எதுவும் கிடையாதே !

Withholding Annual Increments of Non-performers 

after 20 Years

5.1.46 There is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in the 

hierarchy happen as a matter of course. The perception is that grant of MACP, although subject

to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for granted. 

This Commission believes that employees who do not meet the laid down performance criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments. The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.

This will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees. However, since this is

not a penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving withholding increments

will not be applicable in such cases. This will be treated as an “efficiency bar”. Additionally,for such employees there could be an option to leave service on similar terms and conditions as prescribed for voluntary retirement.

HRA :

8.7.15 Considering all these factors, and in line with our general policy of rationalizing the 

percentage based allowances by a factor of 0.8, the Commission recommends that HRA

should be rationalized to 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the Basic Pay for Class 

X, Y and Z cities respectively. However, the Commission also recognizes that with the current

formulation, once the new pay levels are implemented, the compensation towards HRA will

remain unchanged until such time as the pay and allowances are next revised. Going by the

historical trend this event is likely to be a decade away. Some representations have been

received stating that towards the later part of the ten year period the HRA compensation falls

considerably short of the requirement. Having regard to this, the Commission also

recommends that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27 percent, 18 percent and 9 percent

when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to 30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent

when DA crosses 100 percent.
