An end to the impasse over the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission report for employees is in sight with the Ministers’ Committee, headed by Local Government Minister Brahm Mohindra, giving a final proposal to the employees’ unions. The leaders have sought time to study the offer.
As per the proposal, employees will get an additional increase of Rs 1,000 crore in salaries and allowances over and above Rs 4,692 crore recommended for them by the Sixth Pay Commission headed by Jai Singh Gill. With this, the state exchequer will take an additional hit of Rs 5,692 crore this year, as the commission report will be implemented from July 1 onwards. There are 2.85 lakh employees and 3.07 lakh pensioners in the state.
After a series of meetings between the unions and the committee, comprising Manpreet Singh Badal, OP Soni, Balbir Singh Sidhu and Sadhu Singh Dharamsot, besides Mohindra, the latter assured the protesting employees that the minimum hike in salary that each employee would get is 15 per cent and all allowances given to them would be restored at revised rates. The government said this would mean allowances would double in absolute terms. The unions have sought time till August 8 to study and discuss the proposal.
