Subject:
Probation/Confirmation of Direct Recruit Postal Assistant/Sorting Assistant in
Department of Posts- reg.
Madam/Sir,
References have been received from Circles
seeking guidance on such cases where Direct Recruit Postal Assistants/Sorting
Assistants failed to successfully pass the mandatory induction training.
2.
In this connection attention is invited to Directorate's letter No. 37-
47/2010-SPB-I dated 16.04.2015 which provides that a. If any Direct Recruit
PAs/SAs (on probation) is unable to clear the tests in the first attempt,
he/she may be given two more chances to pass the tests. These three chances
(including first chance during training) may be held/conducted within the two
year mandatory probation period. In the interregnum, such PA/SA may be posted
temporarily to a Post Office/RMS office against a non-sensitive post. b. Before
the third chance is given to a PA/SA, who has failed in two attempts, he/she
may be given a written warning to the effect that his/her failure in mandatory
test does not justify his/her confirmation in the service and that, unless
he/she showed substantial, improvement within a specified period and clears the
test, the issue of terminating him from service will be considered. c. If any
PA/SA is still unable to clear the Tests in three attempts within two years,
the probation period in his/her case will be extended by six months during
which time he/she shall have to mandatorily pass the tests. For such PAs/SAs,
whose probation period has been extended by six months due to failure to pass
the tests, a qualifying test will also be introduced which will be in addition
to the existing tests. The modalities of such qualifying test will be
prepared/finalized by the Training Division of the Postal Directorate. d. In
case he/she passes the required tests and qualifying test and has also
acted/performed satisfactorily during the entire period of probation including
extension also, he/she may be declared to have successfully completed probation
period and may be confirmed in service by the DCC. e. If a PA/SA again fails in
the tests and/or does not pass the qualifying test, the services of such
temporary Direct Recruit PA/SA shall be terminated.
3. It
is once again reiterated that before the third chance is given to a PA/SA, who
has failed in two attempts, he/she may be given a written warning to the effect
that his/her failure in mandatory test does not justify his/her confirmation in
the service and that, unless he/she showed substantial improvement within a
specified period and clears the test, the issue of terminating him/her from
service will be considered. Further, if a PA/SA again fails in the tests and/or
does not pass the qualifying test, the services of such temporary Direct
Recruit PA/SA shall be terminated.
4. are requested to take action on the above
subject as per the provisions of aforesaid letter No. 37-47/2010-SPB-I dated
16.04.2015.
