Is attendance
compulsory for Central Government employees on the implementation day
(01.01.2016) of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations?
Central
Government employees are wondering if there will be any consequences of
taking leave on January 1, 2016, the date of implementation of the 7th
Pay Commission report.
The
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission regarding the salaries and
perks for the Central Government employees will come into effect from
January 1, 2016 onwards. Many are curious to find out the connection
between the date of implementation of 7th CPC and reporting to work on
the day.
Normally, the
date of joining work, date of getting the promotion, date of receiving
the increments, transfer date, and retirement dates are very important
for a Central Government employee. In the average service period of a
Central Government employee, he/she is likely to witness two or three
Pay Commissions. Keeping this in mind, it would be better to not absent
oneself on January 1, 2016.
“All Central Government employees are advised to report to work on January 1, 2016 (Friday).”
“This is especially so for those who are on long leave. It will help them avoid a lot of problems in future.”
“If 01.01.2016 is announced as a holiday, it will be better to report to work the next day.”
If the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission are going to be implemented
from 01.01.2016 onwards, then the employees will have to come to work
that day to accept these recommendations. If he/she is absent on the
day, then the day they return to work will be treated as the day they
had accepted the new recommendations.
If an employee
not to report on the date of implementation, this could delay the
benefits of the 7th Pay Commission. This could also cause financial
losses too due to pay revision as per the recommendations of new pay
commission.
According to
existing rules, in order to qualify for the annual increment, an
employee has completed 6 months or more in the revised pay structure, as
on 1st July. A delay of even a single day could deny you an increment,
as per the rule.
It is not easy
to calculate the date of promotion for Central Government employees.
Normally, promotions are granted with retrospective effect. Let us
assume that the promotion was given with effect from 01.01.2016. Not
reporting to work on that day could cause a number of problems.
Since the
government rules are bound to be changed arbitrarily, one can never be
sure of the kind of troubles it could cause them. Therefore, it is
better to go to work on 01.01.2016.
The
recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission were implemented on
01.01.2006, a Sunday. Therefore, the next day was taken as the
assumption date. One might remember that the government had issued
another order to avoid the confusions that resulted due to this. (Click to view the order)
Even those who
are on long leave for any particular reason are advised to report to
work on January 1, 2016 at least and then continue with their leave.
This will help them avoid a lot of problems.
