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.

Now medical refund for retired municipal employees
JAIPUR: Former municipal employees would soon be entitled to medical
reimbursements, as a cabinet sub-committee recommended a corpus fund for
the purpose on Tuesday. The decision would benefit nearly 50,000 former
employees of the 184 municipal bodies in the state. The sub-committee comprising industries minister Rajendra Pareek, health minister AA Khan and transport minister
Brij Kishore Sharma met at the state secretariat to discuss the
long-pending demand along with welfare issues of other government
employees on Tuesday. "Retired municipal employees would start
getting medical reimbursements once the corpus creation is cleared by
the state cabinet, too," Pareek told reporters after the meeting. Rajasthan Municipal Corporation Union
president Girish Dadhich later said, "The sub-committee's
recommendation for the corpus fund is a welcoming step, as around 80% of
the municipal employees, especially the sanitation workers, cannot
afford medical facilities after retirement." Dadhich said there
were nearly 50,000 municipal employees, including around 13,000 retired
ones, in the state. "These employees have been getting pensions since
1987, but facilities like medical reimbursements were denied to them,"
he said. Other employees' issues discussed at the meeting
related to departmental enquiries under Services Rule 16-CCA. "We have
decided to categorise these matters and refer them to a separate
committee," minister Pareek said.
