PAID SUBSTITUTES / CASUAL LABOURERS PAY BASED ON NEW REVISED PAY AND DEARNESS ALLOWANCE – FILE UNDER PROCESS
LGO EXAMINATION IN DECEMBER
GDS COMMITTEE REPORT UNDER CONSIDERATION OF THE GROUP OF SENIOR OFFICERS
NFPE TAKING EFFORTS FOR A UNIFIED ACTION PROGRAMME BY POSTAL JCA.
Dear Comrades!
- NFPE discussed the issue of fixation of revised pay for TBOP and BCR Postmen today with the concerned officers in the Postal Directorate. In many circles the proper fixation of Grade Pay according to the status of TBOP / BCR is yet to be done and arrears drawn as all the Postmen Officials irrespective of their status were uniformly fixed in 2000/- Grade Pay only. The issue was taken up several times by the NFPE and P4 CHQ. It has been decided that instead of waiting for the ACP Scheme orders to be issued by the DOPT, fixation with Grade Pay 2400 and 2800 will be granted as per TBOP and BCR status. This file for approval is under process and orders might be expected early.
2. The matter regarding grant of wages as per the revised pay structure to Paid Substitutes, RRR Candidates, Casual and Contingent was again discussed today by the NFPE. It has been ascertained that the file for issuing orders is still under process. But we came to know that the wages so determined will be computed only on the basis of the Pay, Grade Pay and Dearness Allowance. Other Allowances like HRA. TA etc would not be taken into account for computing wages for these sections as like the orders issued after the 5th Pay Commission. NFPE will take up the issue of non-inclusion of the quantum of HRA and TA seriously after the issue of orders but would wait for the orders to be released first.
3. NFPE and P4 CHQ took up the issue for holding the LGO Examination notified to be held in December 2008 on the basis of the new syllabus instead of old one. The Department did not care to even reply the letters either in affirmative or in negative. The time is running out. Informally we were able to ascertain that the new syllabus cannot be implemented for the December examination. All aspiring LGO officials are requested not to waste time anymore on this matter and may start preparations for the exam under the old syllabus only.
4.The GDS Committee recommendations are being considered by the Department through a Group of Senior Officers. Detailed examination of all the recommendations is reportedly being done by this Group of Officers. The Group of officers is directed to submit its report by 1st week of December 2008. It has been intimated that the representations received from the GDS Union will be looked into by them. AIPEDEU has submitted a Note. NFPE also preferred a Note seeking modifications and also a discussion with the Staff Side before taking a final decision on implementation. A common Charter of Demands will be shortly finalised unitedly by the GDS Unions and Federations.
5. NFPE All India Convention in Guntur will be held on 29.11.2008. Before going to the Convention NFPE will try to hold wide consultations with the GDS unions and the Postal JCA to reach a unified understanding on the Charter of Demands, approach of negotiations with the Department and the future course of action.
