Municipal Sena demands frozen pay scale for employees
NASHIK:
The Municipal Sena has demanded that the government guidelines of
frozen pay scale be implemented for employees who have completed 12
years and that class IV employees be promoted as class III after 12
years.
Chairman of the Municipal Sena, Shivaji Sahane proposed to the municipal commissioner that those employees who have not been promoted after 12 years due to some reason be given the frozen pay scale. He has also demanded that class IV employees be promoted to class III after 12 years of service even if they do not have the basic qualification.
We have also asked for frozen pay scale to security guards who have not been promoted because they haven't passed Std X like some of the fire brigade staff. The municipal commissioner has formally approved the proposals and agreed to forward it to the government," said Sahane.
They have also asked for the medical allowance of employees to be raised from Rs 1,000 to 2,500. Municipal commissioner Sanjay Khandare said the decision will be taken after considering the financial status of the NMC.
Sahane added that the NMC contribute an equal amount for the employee's welfare fund. The municipal commissioner said the NMC would contribute if the proposal is approved. "If an employee is sick, he gets maximum Rs 25,000 from this fund. We have demanded Rs 50,000 and the cheque will go directly to the hospital. We also asked for a mediclaim policy from the employee's welfare fund for the employee, his wife and two children below 18 years of age," he said. The commissioner agreed to discuss the issue with some insurance companies. "As per government guidelines, whenever there is a 50% vacancy, posts will be filled up by direct recruitment and another 50% through promotion," said Sahane.
The commissioner gave his approval. The Municipal Sena said for extra work, drivers be paid Rs 125 per hour rat8her than Rs 40, sanitary employees be provided with uniforms and shoes every year rather than every two years, and retired employees get dues cleared on the day of retirement.
