Discipline and Compliance Regarding the Use of Uniforms
147. What are the consequences for Group 'C' and 'D' employees who fail to wear their supplied uniforms while on duty, and what administrative measures have been recommended to ensure compliance?
According to Office Memorandum No. 1/3/88-JCA dated 01.04.1992, the Ministry of Personnel, P.G. and Pensions has stipulated that specified categories of Group 'C' and 'D' employees, such as Peons, Daftries, and Staff Car Drivers, are required to report to duty in proper and clean uniforms. The failure of an employee to do so is strictly treated as a breach of discipline. To enforce this, the memorandum suggests that Departments introduce a periodic "parade" system and designate an Inspecting Officer to monitor compliance and initiate disciplinary action when necessary.
Ministries and Departments should take proactive steps to address the common issue of employees not wearing uniforms. This includes consulting with staff associations to advise their members on the importance of following uniform regulations and discussing the matter in Office Councils. Ministries were also directed to review their current position and report back on the actions taken to ensure staff attend their duties in the prescribed attire.
