CHANDIGARH, FEB 27

The Haryana Government has decided to regularize the services of such daily wage and contractual employees as have completed three years of regular service, and amend the Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme and Grade Pay Structure.
These decisions show that the Chief Minister, Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda, has given to the employees more than the representatives of the Employees Coordination Committee had asked for.
Disclosing this here today, an official spokesman said that leaders of the employees had demanded regularization of the services of daily wage and contractual employees and amendment in the Assured  Career Progression (ACP) Scheme and Grade Pay Structure. Mr Hooda considered their demands sympathetically and conceded more than their demands.
According to the regularization policies of 1993, 1996 and 2003 of the state government, the left-out employees would be regularized as per these policies. Amendment would also be made in the regularization  policy of 2011. Under these policies, employees completing 10 years of service would be regularized taking benefit of the judgment in the cases of State of Karnataka and M.L. Kesari.
Besides, the state government has decided to frame a policy on the pattern of the Punjab Government. The daily wage and contractual employees completing three years of service would be  included in this policy and regularized as per rules and conditions.
Besides, all unskilled employees would be given a minimum of Rs 8,100 as wage per month. Also, the state government would deposit the money of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and Employees  State Insurance of such employees. This would benefit every employee to tune of Rs. 1200 per month.
Besides, employees will get five percent increase in the minimum pay annually. It has also been decided to amend the Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme. Earlier, the benefit of ACP Scheme was given  after completion of 10, 20 and 30 years of service which would now be
given after completion of 8, 16 and 24 years of service.
Similarly, amendment has been made in Grade-Pay of Class III and IV employees under the ACP Scheme. After amendment, the Grade-Pay under the ACP Scheme of these categories would be increased  from Rs 1,650 to Rs 1,800, Rs 1,800 to Rs 1,900 and Rs 1,900 to Rs 2,000.  Similarly, the Grade-Pay under the ACP Scheme would be increased from Rs 3,300 to Rs 3,600, Rs 3,600 to Rs 4,000 and Rs 4,000 to Rs 4,200. This shows that the state government has given more than
 the demands made by the employees.
On implementation of the new ACP Scheme and Grade-Pay structure, for example, a Class-IV employee who used to get Grade-Pay of Rs 1,900 after completion of 30 years of service, would get Grade-Pay Rs 2,000 on  completion of 24 years of service. Similarly, a Class-III employee who used to get Grade-Pay of Rs 3,300 on completion of 30 years of service, would now get Grade-Pay of Rs 3,600 on completion of 24 years of service. About 80 per cent employees of Class III and IV would be benefitted with these two decisions.
Semi-Skilled and skilled employees would be given wage of more than Rs 8,100 and the committee under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Finance, would submit its report within 15 days on any
 other changes. These employees would also be given an increase of five per cent of minimum wage annually.
Also, such daily wage and contractual women employees as were not getting maternity leave and other benefits would also get the benefit.
The committee would also review and submit its report on the issue of  allowances on the pattern of the Central Government, the spokesman added. after completion of 30 years of service, would get Grade-Pay Rs 2,000 on  completion of 24 years of service. Similarly, a Class-III employee
 who used to get Grade-Pay of Rs 3,300 on completion of 30 years of service, would now get Grade-Pay of Rs 3,600 on completion of 24 years of service. About 80 per cent employees of Class III and IV would be benefitted with these two decisions.
Semi-Skilled and skilled employees would be given wage of more than Rs 8,100 and the committee under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Finance, would submit its report within 15 days on any
 other changes. These employees would also be given an increase of five per cent of minimum wage annually.
