SUBJECT: PROTECTION OF PAY OF REGULAR EMPLOYEES APPOINTED ON CONTRACT BASIS LATER ON REGULARIZED.
Kindly refer to the subject not above.
2. Para XVIII (6) of the Contract Policy 2004 provides that pay of the employees
who join back to their original substantive post within the period of lien, may be fixed by adding annual increments for the period served as contract employee without any benefit of difference as a result of such refixation. Such inclusion of increments earned during the contract period in the basic pay seems to be the reason that the employee continues his/her service against the substantive post as regular employee.
3. The orders issued by Government of the Punjab , Finance Department Lahore vide letter NoFD.SR-1/11-30/2021 dated 03.09.2021 as well as office of the accountant general Punjab Lahore also Clarified vide letter No. PR-C/Pay & Allowance /2019-20/2120 dated 25.06.2021 that the pay of civil servant Shall be protected upon this regularization against the post which he joins on appointment through proper channel from the substantive post.
4. Only pay of initially recruited employees, upon regularization, is required to be fixed at the initial of the respective pay scale and increments so earned will be added as personal allowance. Government of the Punjab , Finance Department , Lahore vide letter No. also issued clarification for treatment of personal allowance letter on.
5.
