No.
PF-Covid-19/2020 Dated: 10th April, 2020
To
The Secretary,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan ,
New
Delhi-110 001
Sub: Request to ensure full
wages to all the staff for the period of lock down
irrespective of their attending the
offices or otherwise.
Sir,
The nationwide
lock down has been imposed by Central Government from 23.03.2020 to 14.4.2020
due to Covid-19 outbreak. There is every possibility that the Lockdown may be
further extended.
Usually absentee statement for Salary drawal will be
prepared by 20th of each month and, accordingly, the Pay & Allowance
for March 2020 was drawn based on the absentee statement prepared before the
lockdown commencement. After 23.03.2020, several developments have taken
place in the functioning of Post offices. While some Post Offices was ordered
to work with skeletal staff to provide basic postal services to the public on
the pretext of essential services, on the other hand, many post
offices remained closed with none attending.
From 23.03.2020
itself, several officials did not turn up to office due to curfew imposed in
several states. So now it is high time that the department has to
regularize the absence from 23.03.2020 in order to ensure timely drawal of Pay
& Allowances for April 2020.
Though roaster
is being maintained, it is learnt that several Divisional Heads have prepared
list of officials who were absent as “No Report”. Now in the
absentee statement to be prepared on 20.04.2020, all the officials who were
absent will be marked as “No Report” and a huge Pay cut will be imposed.
.
Hence it is
high time that Directorate issue suitable clarificatory orders to regularize
the absence of officials during the lockdown period and ensure due salary. Our
Federation shall insist upon treating the period of absence as duty as
inability of the staff attending duty is beyond their control like non-plying
of bus, train services etc., and the area of their residence was choked with
Coronavirus threat.
If the period
of absence is not treated as period spent on duty at this time, the fear
of Pay Cut will loom large on the face of the employees more than the fear
of Corona infection and they will be subjected to avoidable mental stress.
Therefore, you
requested to kindly cause necessary instructions to the concerned so that no
wage cut is inflicted upon the staff for non-attending duty which may certainly
derail the managing of their family at this critical juncture.
With regards,
Yours
Sincerely,
(R N Parashar)
Secretary General
