Minimum Wages Fitment Formula and Wage Hike

By

Comrades,

There are number of unwanted articles on minimum wage, fitment formula and wage hike on many websites which are not true and create confusion among the Central Government Employees. This type of the articles also give wrong impressions and give wrong signals to the Government, these articles are written without having basic knowledge of the price rise and minimum wage calculation.

The minimum wage calculation is given below. Hence it is requested to go through the below calculation of minimum wages, as the 7th CPC has indicated the use of using Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms for calculation of minimum wages. The rates are taken from Government shops. The rates to be taken up by the 7th CPC may vary only marginally.

We should actually wait for the 7th CPC to give its report and then we should react and staff side JCM shall take necessary steps in this regard. Let us stop all such unwanted gossips of minimum wage, fitment formula and wage hike. The model minimum wage calculated using Dr. Aykroyd formula and 15th ILO norms as on 1st July 2015 is given below.

tem Per Month Average  Amount

Rice  (fine) & Wheat atta 42.75 40 1710

Minimum pay for unskilled worker in the erstwhile Group “D” 18547.5
Add 25% for Group “C” ( as proposed by 6th CPC ) 4636.875
Total 23184.375
Add 6% more prices from 1st July  2015 to 1st Jan 2016 1391.04
Total amount Rs 24575/-

Minimum pay for skilled worker in Group “C” Say Rs 25,000/-

Fitment formula = Rs 25000/7000 = 3.5

The main goal is to educate the Central Government Employees and prepare for the struggle path in case the important demands expected of the 7th CPC are not met.

A) Minimum wage of Rs 25,000/- as per Government prices.
B) Fitment formula of 3.5
C) Wage hike of more than 60%.
D) Proper pay scales with proper increment rate.
E) Proper promotion policy and proper allowances.
F) Wage revision from 1/1/2014.

DA as likely on 1st Jan 2016 is likely at 125%.

After 7th CPC implementation it will DA will be zero %

Existing Basic Minimum wage is Rs 7000/- as on 1/1/06

Add 125% DA as on 1/1/2016 =Rs 8750/-

Total existing Minimum Wage as on 1/1/2016 is Rs 15750/-

If the Minimum wage is fixed at Rs 25,000/-
Net Increase shall be Rs 9250/-

Net Increase should be 60%.

Comradely yours

(P.S.Prasad)

Shiva Gopal Mishra
Secretary

Joint Consultative Machinery
For Central Government Employees

No. Dated 11.09.2015

To,

Justice Shri Ashok Kumar Mathur,
Chairman,
Seventh Central Pay Commission,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub: Parity between Past and Future Pensioners

While urging for parity in Pension; for past and future pensioners before the Seventh Central Pay Commission, Staff Side, National Council/JCIM vide Chapter-IV, Para 4.1 submitted as follow:-

“The Government have recently announced that “One Pension’ shall be implemented in respect of Armed Forces so that the glaring disparity between the persons of equivalent rank and status do not draw vastly unequal pensions if they retire at different-point of time is undone. Already there is a complete parity in pension among the Judges of Supreme Court, High Court and the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, irrespective of the date of their retirement” Now the Government of India has accepted the demand for ‘One Rank One Pension’ in respect of Armed forces.

The detailed justification for the same has already been submitted in our aforesaid Memorandum, as well as during our Oral Evidence before the Central Pay Commission.

The Civilian employees of Central Government have been waiting anxiously for implementation of the same equally for them and hope that the Seventh Central Pay Commission would administer Justice by recommending “One Rank One Pension’ to all other past and future pensioners irrespective of their date of retirement and remove the injustice done to them so long.

Yours faithfully,

New Delhi, dated 31.08.2015

General Managers
All Indian Railways/Production Units
(As per Standard List)

Sub: COMPREHENSIVE TRANSFER POLICY FOR RAILWAY OFFICERS

1. The transfer policy for Railway Officers has been reviewed by the Ministry of Railways. In supersession of all existing instructions, Ministry of Railways have now decided to formulate a Comprehensive Transfer Policy for Railway Officers. The salient features of the Comprehensive Transfer Policy are given in the succeeding paragraphs:

(i) Ordinarily a Group ‘A’ officer will not be transferred out of his allotted Zone/Unit till Selection Grade.

On empanelment to Group ‘A’, there may be inter-Zonal transfer of a Group ‘B’ officer with residual service of more than 3 years.

(ii) Officers, will be considered for posting to Railway Board/RDSO/CTIs/PUs/Other Units in’administrative interest after completion of minimum of 5 years in allotted zone.

(iii) No request for transfer will be considered till completion of 5 years in assigned zone.

(iv) Transfers and postings will be done against clear vacancy of a sanctioned post. The present policy of posting officers to the Eastern Region on return from deputation abroad will continue to be followed.

(v) Posting in Railway Board/CTl/RDSO/RRB is tenure posting having maximum tenure of 5 years and not a deputation post. Hence, normal procedure for inter Railway/Unit transfers be followed.

(vi) A cooling off period of minimum 3 years between two tenures in Railway Board/RDSO will be required.

(vii) Normally, minimum tenure on a particular post at a time will be 2 years and maximum tenure will be 5 years. For sensitive posts, maximum tenure will be 4 years. Minimum tenure will not be applicable for Junior Scale/Senior Scale officers of Group A. However, in administrative exigencies, relaxation may be granted by cadre controlling officer.

(viii) Total stay at a stretch at a particular station should not be more than 10 years and the total cumulative stay (in broken spells) should not be more than 15 years. Deputation to PSUS and other Ministries will not be counted for this purpose. This will be implemented in a phased manner.

(ix) In case of IRMS doctors (including Dental Cadre) in Railways, the proposed policy will be as per following guidelines

(a) The transfer of doctors within and outside the zone should be decided by the Railways/Board at appropriate level on case-to-case basis, keeping in view the administrative interest. Total stay at a stretch/cumulative stay (inbroken spells in a particular station) be limited to 15&20 years respectively. However, while issuing such transfer orders the following guidelines should be observed.

(1) Super specialist doctors can only be transferred from one super speciality centre to another super specialty center of same specialities.

(2) Senior specialist of Central Hospital of the Zone or Division should be transferred to another Divisional or Zonal Centre of equal status.

(3) General Duty Medical Officers and Dental Surgeon can be shifted from one such post to equivalent post in other places.

Note : The idea behind these guidelines is that specialist services are not disturbed while keeping the administrative interest in mind.

(x) Transfer of RPF/RPSF personnel will be in terms of Railway Board Standing Order No.102 and 110 issued by DG/RPF. Total stay at a stretch at a particular station should not be more than 10 years and the total cumulative stay (in broken spells) should not be more than 15 years.

(xi) In terms of para 124 of IREC, Vol.1, GMs have full powers to make rules, with regard to non-gazetted Railway Servants. No change is recommended. Maximum tenure on sensitive posts will however be 4 years. In case of non-gazetted Railway employees, no inter railway transfer request will be considered till completion of 5 years of joining Railway.

(xiii) Transfers other than those caused due to promotion, deputation/return from deputation, retirements etc. will be generally issued from January to March. However, in administrative exigencies, transfer orders may be issued as and when required.

(xiv) The controlling officer will ensure that the officer transferred will be relieved within a maximum period of one month.

(xv) A government servant who is also a care giver of disabled child may be exempted from the routine exercise of transfer/rotational transfer subject to administrative constraints as per OM No.42011/3/2014-Estt.(Rs.) dated 6.6.2014

Cabinet approves 6% hike in Dearness Allowance for Central Government Employees

By
igeadmin
-

The Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal to increase dearness allowance to 119 percent from 113 percent, which will potentially benefit over one crore government employees and pensioners.

Earlier in April, the government had hiked DA by 6 percent to 113 percent of their basic pay with effect from January. DA is paid as proportion of the basic pay.

The DA hike will take effect from July 1. As per the agreed formula, the DA rate increase is an average of 12-month consumer price index-industrial workers from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

The hike is in accordance with the accepted formula based on the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission, which will benefit 48 lakh government employees and 55 lakh pensioners.

Last month, the Cabinet had given approval for the extension of the term of the 7th Central Pay Commission by four months up to December 31.

Govt favours discontinuing interview for appointment to various posts

By
igeadmin
-

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh has said that the Union Government is in favour of doing away with the practice of holding interviews for appointment to junior level posts. Presiding over a meeting of Principal Secretaries of General Administration Department (GAD)/Personnel from different States and Union Territories here today, Dr Jitendra Singh said that the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) has initiated a serious exercise for identifying the posts for which interview for selection can be discontinued and a communique in this regard has been sent to various State Governments, State Public Service Commissions and Staff Selection Commission. He said that this follows the suggestion put forward by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi during his Independence Day address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort.

Dr Jitendra Singh said that the government will soon identify all those posts, particularly at junior level like Group III & IV, where an interview is avoidable and will stop this practice. He said, for a post for which an interview is not necessary to determine the capability of a candidate, the provision of interview sometimes leads to scope for manipulation, manoeuvrability and corruption. Therefore, barring such posts where an interview would help in testing special capabilities for a particular assignment, abolition of the provision of interview will not only be in larger public interest but would also offer a level playing field for even those of the candidates who lack resources and come from lower socio-economic strata, he added.

Referring to some of the revolutionary decisions taken by the DoPT during the last 15 months of the present government, Dr Jitendra Singh made a special mention of the introduction of self-attestation of certificates. This, he said, not only eliminated inconvenience caused to the youth for going around to seek attestation of certificates from gazetted officers, etc., but also sent out a reassuring message that the present government has the capacity to trust the youth of this country. Similarly, he also referred to the Pension Department’s plans to finalise Pension Portal which would help in ending the practice of producing life certificates by a pensioner.

Dr Jitendra Singh also informed that a pilot exercise undertaken for three States of Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu had proved successful wherein, for the first time, an Induction training programme was introduced for the newly inducted State-level functionaries and the same practice is now being extended to other States as well. He also referred to a landmark decision by the DoPT to revise and revisit the pattern and syllabus of IAS and other Civil Services Exam to offer a level playing opportunity for aspirants from different streams.

The meeting was attended among others by Secretary, DoPT, Shri Sanjay Kothari, Secretary, Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances, Shri Devendra Chaudhry and Establishment Officer, DoPT, Shri Rajiv Kumar.

Thereafter, if the MoS does not return to duty, the State Government concerned shall initiate proceedings of deemed resignation under rule 7(2) of AIS(Leave) Rules 1955 and forward a complete proposal to the Central Government for effecting deemed resignation within next two months.
