ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION - scheme restored
The Rajasthan government on Thursday decided to restore the assured career
scheme of the previous time frame and amend the rules for deduction of housing
allowance and maternity leave for its employees, who were given the benefit of the
Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations this past month.
The State government, in its orders of September 12, had extended the first,
second and third assured career progression on completion of 10, 20 and 30 years
respectively of service. The previous time frame for assured career progression
was 9, 18 and 27 years.
An official release here on Thursday stated that the State government had
reconsidered its decision and decided to restore the original time frame of 9, 18
and 27 years for giving selection scale of salary under assured career progression
to the employees. The release pointed out that the Central government was still giving
the facility on completion of 10, 20 and 30 years of service.
The release said the State government had also decided to carry out the revised
deduction from the salary of employees staying in government accommodation
from September 1 instead of January 1 this year. The salary hike for the employees
has been brought into effect from September 1. The State government had earlier
decided to make the deduction of housing allowance from January 1 because the
employees were to be paid the salary arrears from that date. The release said
difference for the period between January 1 and August 31 would not be charged
from the employees.In another decision benefiting women employees,
the State government has enhanced the maternity leave — sanctioned to them
twice during their service period — from 135 days to 180 days.
The decision will be applicable to the employees presently availing themselves
of the leave as well.The release said the Rajasthan Service Rules would be amended
shortly for implementing these decisions.
