One Day, One Minute, One Rule -– 75
75. What are the key provisions regarding the counting of officiating or broken periods of service for increment purposes for employees promoted on an adhoc and local arrangement basis, as per Order No. 6-5/98/PA (IC)/KW-616 to 652 dated 9-3-2000?
The order, No. 6-5/98/PA (IC)/KW-616 to 652 dated 9-3-2000, addresses the long-pending issue of counting officiating or broken periods of service for increment purposes for officials promoted on a purely adhoc and local arrangement basis.
• When an employee is promoted to a higher post (including adhoc or regular promotion), their pay is normally fixed under FR 22-1(a)-(1).
• If the pay fixed under FR 22-1(a)-(1) is lower than the pay drawn during the last spell of officiation against the same post, the higher pay drawn during that last spell can be allowed.
• The benefit of previous broken period(s) of officiation is admissible only if, on re-promotion, the pay is fixed at the same stage as fixed during the last officiation period.
• If the pay on re-promotion is fixed at a higher stage, the benefit of the previous officiation period(s) will not be admissible.
• In sum and substance, an increment becomes due only if an employee has completed one year of duty at one stage in terms of FR-26.
This clarification was issued with the approval of the Department of Personnel and Training (U.O. No. 141/2000-Estt. Pay- dated 29-2-2000) and the concurrence of Integrated Finance Advice (Dy. No. 125/FA/2000 dated 8-3-2000).
