Sub: - Remuneration
to be paid to the GraminDakSevaks engaged as substitutes in short-term
vacancies of Postmen, Mailgaurd and MTS.
Ref: - Directorate’s
Memo No. 7-9/2016-PCC dated 26.04.2017.
Sir,
Your kind attention is drawn to para-3 of
the above referred OM dated 26.04.2017.
Para – 3 – “In
future, GDS who are willing to work as substitute will be paid at the
minimum pay of the respective levels of the Pay Matrix barring other allowances
like HRA, Transport Allowance etc. with effect from 01.01.2016.”
The words, “in
future “appearing at the beginning of the above para creates an
impression that enhanced substitute wage is eligible from date of issue of the
orders only, whereas the words “with effect from
01.01.2016” appearing in the last line of the same para gives an
impression that the revised substitute wage should be paid from 01.01.2016.
As the minimum pay of the Postmen, Mailguard
and MTS is revised with effect from 01.01.2016, the substitutes shall be paid
the revised wages with effect from 01.01.2016 itself on the principle of equal
pay for equal work. But the framing of the para – 3 has created confusion as
the meaning of the whole para is ambiguous. As a result many lower level
authorities had refused to pay revised substitute wages with effect from
01.01.2016.
It is requested to issue necessary
clarification removing the ambiguity appearing in para- 3 of the OM.
Yours
faithfully,
(R. N.
