PAY PARITY CASE

Today I have detailed discussion with my friends in Chandigarh through whom memorandum for pay parity with Hon’ble Minister was submitted in May 2010. The result of discussion reveals that only mounting pressure from all spheres can bring fruitful results. But unfortunately there is hardly any leader in our cadre who may watch our interest above his own and build up pressure with the department. However as per information gathered our pay parity case is still alive and there are full chances of good results for all the cadres in the hierarchy. Now only option with the department is to recommend GP OF Rs.4600/- to IP and 4800/- to ASP and 5400/- to SPOs before submission of file to MOF . Once this file is cleared by our department we will escalate pressure with MOF to accept our genuine demand for which I have received assurance from my friend circle. I am requesting all Circle Secretaries to explore similar possibilities in their field also. Hoping for the best.

Why planning is required!!!!

I received a Superb mail from my friend which is a Good example--why planning is required...* * Read it........* One Night 4 college students were playing till late night and could not study for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty with grease and dirt. They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tire of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test. So the Dean said they could have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they would be ready by that time. On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test... They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days. The Test consisted of 2 questions with a total of 100 Marks. Q.1. Your Name............................ (2 MARKS)

Q.2. which tire burst? (98 MARKS)

a) Front Left

b) Front Right

c) Back Left d) Back Right.....!!!

Taking a cue from the above strory/example I ,along with my members, am planning to meet top political leader from Chandigarh to discuss our pay scale issue and ask them to pursue my earlier memorandum and take it up at appropriate level.I will update the result of meeting on SUNDAY evening so keep visiting this blog for updates.

IT IS REPORTED FOR THE INFORMATION OF MEMBERS THAT CPMG PUNJAB HAS RIGHTLY HEARD ME ON HONORARIUM ISSUE AND TAKING ACTION ON MY LETTER CALLED APMG(STAFF) TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE UP ISSUE WITH DTE. FOR ENHANCEMENT OF HONORARIUM RATES.

ENHANCEMENT OF HONORARIUM

To The Chief Postmaster General Punjab Circle, Chandigarh-160017 No.CH/IPASP/04 dated at chandigarh the 21/10/2010

Sub: Regarding enhancement of Honorarium for examination duty. Respected Sir, The examination process for recruitment of PA/SA is underway and inspectorial staff has been put on invigilator/supervisory duty. The examination work is an arduous nature of duty and is assigned in addition to one’s own work. Many a times our staff is called on Sundays/holidays but no compensatory off or conveyance charges are given to the staff engaged for the purpose but honorarium of Rs.20/- for single duty and Rs.40/- for full day duty is paid. As such staff shows reluctance to perform duty and have some resentment over the issue.

Sir, you will also agree that amount being paid is very meager and is not sufficient to compensate even the travelling expenses. Moreover, the honorarium fixed three decades back is in vogue and thus needs revision. Whereas, other recruiting commissions such as UPSC/SSC are paying Rs. 350/- per duty to the staff engaged for the purpose. It is therefore requested to kindly take up matter with the Directorate for revision of Honorarium. In the mean time orders may kindly be passed to grant compensatory off and conveyance charges to the staff for the duties so assigned. With regards, Yours faithfully

(Hari Mohan) Circle Secretary IP/ASP association Punjab, Chandigarh-17

Letter from AGS to Sh. Roop Chand

• To Sh. Roop Chand General Secretary, AIAIPASP HQ New Delhi Subject: Regarding Enhancement of honorarium for Supervisor/Invigilator duties. Sir Our CS on my directions and on the demand of association members of Punjab Circle has taken up some issues relating to IPs/ASPs including the subjected one. The matter was taken up long ago but no action seems to have been taken as yet. Relevant portion on the subject is reproduced as under:- “The IP/ASP put on invigilator duty (mostly on Sunday) is being paid Rs.20/- for one duty subject to maximum of Rs.40/- per day. Whereas the conveyance charges are always more than amount being paid left aside other issues like Sunday duty etc. I request you to take this issue with Directorate to enhance the honorarium equal to, as paid by Staff Selection Commission to the officials engaged for such duties. In case it cannot be enhanced, Directorate should do away with this honorarium as paying Rs.20-40 for invigilator duty is just a joke with IP/ASP.” It is apparent that this item is genuine one and can be considered without interference of any Ministry. Moreover, the Honorarium rates fixed, may be, three decades back are still in vogue , whereas the Invigilators appointed by the Recruiting Commissions are being paid Rs. 500/- per shift per day per examination. Now it is demanded as under:- Designation / Sundays & Holidays /Working Days Supervising Officer /1000 / 750 Invigilator / 750 / 500 Stenographer / 500 / 400 Postal Assistant / 500 / 400 Drivers / 400 / 300 Multi Skilled Employees /300 / 250 The rates should be fixed irrespective of its durations. The rates are very genuine in view of the facts that no TA/DA is being paid for the duty so assigned and no compensatory off is given in lieu of the duty performed on the Holidays. Please take up the matter with Dte expeditiously along with other demands as asked by CS in his letter addressed to you. It will better if copy of letter addressed by you to Directorate is reflected on your BLOGs please. राजिंदर कुमार जोशी Asstt General Secretary & Asstt Supdt Posts West Sub Division Chandigarh – 160017.
