Maharashtra Issues Guidelines For Employees

  • All government offices will be permitted to operate with 15% strength or minimum 15 members, whichever is more, the state govt said
  • The state government said that come 8 June, all private offices can operate with up to 10% strength as per requirement, with remaining persons working from home

After announcing several guidelines and relaxations amid the extension of lockdown in the state till 30 June, 2020, Maharashtra government laid out certain specific guidelines for its employees working in public and private offices, which will open in a phased manner.

In its ‘Mission Begin Again’ guidelines in accordance to the Centre’s Unlock plan 1.0, the state said that in phase 1, which will commence from 3 June, all government offices will be permitted to operate with 15% strength or minimum 15 members, whichever is more. The state government said that come 8 June, all private offices can operate with up to 10% strength as per requirement, with remaining persons working from home.

“All employees and visitors at the government offices will be screened by a thermal scanner before entering the premises. All employees will have to wear a 3-ply or surgical mask while working in the office all the time,” said the state government in its order.

“Windows of the offices will be kept open throughout the day for ventilation. The employee would have to maintain three feet distance from other employees while working,” it added.

In other instructions, the government said: “Employees are advised not to touch their nose, eye and mouth to avoid infection. The lift buttons shall be sanitised thrice in a day with sodium hypochlorite.”

“All other office equipment like printer, scanner, computer, etc shall be sanitised with an alcohol-based sanitiser,” it added.

Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Saturday announced that the lockdown will continue in containment zones till 30 June and only essential activities will be allowed in those areas.

Meanwhile, with 2,940 new Covid-19 cases getting reported in Maharashtra in the last 24 hours, the state’s virus count reached 65,168 on Saturday.

With 99 more deaths reported in the last 24 hours, the state’s death toll stood at 2,197, said the state’s health department.

1,084 Covid-19 patients recovered in Maharashtra on Saturday, taking total number of discharged patients to 28,081. Maharashtra is the hardest-hit state by the pandemic in India.

BSNL to claim “recoupment of leave encashment” related to the DoT period.

BSNL to claim “recoupment of leave encashment” related to the DoT period.

When the DoT recruited employees were absorbed in BSNL, the leave earned during their DoT service was also carried forward. Hence, when the employees absorbed from the DoT retired, the leave encashment for the portion of the leave earned during the DoT service, should have been paid by the DoT. However, this did not happen. The entire Leave Encashment amount was paid by the BSNL. At that time itself, the unions and associations raised this issue and claimed settlement by the DoT. However, it was not accepted by the DoT. The BSNL Management also did not pursue this issue with the government. But, now, the BSNL Management has decided to claim recoupement of whatever amount it has paid to the employees, as Leave Encashment, for the leave accumulated as on 01.10.2000. BSNLEU, strongly supports this move being taken the BSNL Management. The Union, together with the AUAB, will take the needful action to settle this issue.

NTPC accelerates Learning & Development Opportunities for 19000 Employees and their family members during the Lockdown period

The Maharatna collaborates with World Bank, ‘Art of Living’ and other external entities via L&D sessions

Certifications offered on successful completion of training

NTPC, India’s largest power producer and the Central PSU under Ministry of Power, has offered learning opportunities to its 19,000-plus employees and their family members. To meet the requirements of the lockdown imposed due to COVID 19 pandemic, NTPC Learning and Development (L&D) strategy has been customised for enriching employees through intensive digitisation and online training, enabling them to avail these services from anywhere.

Moreover, company has collaborated with the World Bank to offer its staff an opportunity to be part of a rigorous online technical course, attending virtual classes, giving assessments and, eventually, obtaining certifications.

Power Management Institute – NTPC’s apex L&D centre – has conducted 250-plus training sessions in diverse disciplines ranging from technical, functional, health and safety. Besides, NTPC’s Regional Learning and Development Centres located in power plant projects have created almost 100-plus online learning opportunities.

The Maharatnais determined to keep nurturing its staff via continuous learning sessions while simultaneously revamping and customising methodologies for specialised scenarios. The company realises the need for upskilling even during crises. Therefore, another unique collaboration – the ‘45-Day Learning Challenge’ – offers its staff thorough learning for 45 days in varied disciplines such as Technical, Finance and HR, earning them certifications once completed from home.

There are other collaborations too with external agencies providing state-of-the-art sessions. A holistic wellness programme is being continuously run in association with the ‘Art of Living’. Employees and family members of all ages can participate, helping them stay strong and focused during these turbulent times. Similarly, a special six-month initiative, ‘Snehal 2.0’, based on counselling services via EAP (Employee Assistance Programmes) has been extended to employees’ family members. Available round-the-clock, the EAP service is confidential and offered to select users only.

Likewise, classes are being held on power plant essentials such as Turbine, Boiler, Water Chemistry, Renewable Energy and other significant O&M (Operations & Maintenance) areas through in-house as well as guest faculties. The new learning methodologies include connecting via online forums, webinars, an internally-developed mobile application ‘Samvaad’ as well as leveraging the Internet and its internal learning portal.

EPFO released Rs 868 crore pension along with Rs 105 crore arrear on account of restoration of commuted value of pension.

On the recommendation of Central Board of Trustees (EPFO), the Government of India accepted one of the long standing demands of workers to allow restoration of commuted value of pension after 15 years. Earlier there was no provision for restoration of commuted pension and the pensioners continued to receive reduced pension on account of commutation lifelong.This is a historical step for the benefit of pensioners under EPS-95.

EPFO has more than 65 lakhs pensioners catered through its 135 regional offices. EPFO officers and staff battled all odds during this Covid-19 lockdown period and processed pension payment for May,2020 to ensure credit of pension in the bank account of pensioners on schedule.
