Even though the Punjab government has decided to hike the basic pay of the state government employees and pensioners by 15%, over and above the basic pay as on December 31, 2015, besides restoration of certain allowances, employees and pensioners are still not satisfied with the implementation of the sixth pay commission, as some of the issues still remain unaddressed.
Gurmail Singh Sidhu, state convenor of Sanjha Mulajam Manch Punjab, said the employees’ union is going to convene a meeting to discuss the shortcomings. He said the dearness allowance till December 31, 2015, was 119%. But out of this 119%, the state government has not yet taken any decision about releasing 6% of the dearness allowance.
The state government is mum on regularising the contractual and outsourced employees, implementation of the old pension scheme after January 2004 and ending of the probation period of new employees, he added. Sidhu also said the state government had stated that employees recruited after July 2020 will get the central pay commission.
