Sub: Payment
for extra days/hours of work.
Madam,
Kindly refer to the earlier
representation made by the Association to the former Member (P&V) on the
issue.
2. It is submitted with due regards that the officers were
forced to work by two days extra (on holidays) per week in last financial year .They
were also forced to work one hour extra per day in Service Tax in Delhi. Further, they were forced to work
continuously for 3 holidays in the end of the last financial year. It is also well
pertinent to mention that this forced work was taken from them without any
payment of salary for extra work and also with the threat of penal action on
default. It is further submitted that an emergency situation for a few hours or
a day in the year may be understood but nobody can be forced to work without
wages in routine.
3. Not only it, they are also being forced to work on
holidays in the Service Tax in the current financial year further without
payment of any salary for the extra work being taken from them. This seems like
taking forced labour from them.
4. Your kind
attention is also invited to the fact that the working for fixed hours per day
in the Central Govt. offices was started by a Cabinet decision enabling the
government officers to have due time for required rest, relaxation and look
after their families to dispose of their personal/family related obligations.
The Superintendents of Central Excise are already totally demoralized due to
the lack of promotional avenues, working conditions, basic amenities, required
facilities etc. and also non-grant of requisite pay deals.
5. It is also
worth to mention that the officers are being paid for the calculated hours/days
per month. Forcing them to work for extra hours in the week and at least extra
days in the month without paying extra wages is no-way justified and is
unlawful. Such type of practice gives the only message as we are living in an
undemocratic system instead of the greatest democracy of the world meant for
the people, by the people and of the people.
6. It is, therefore, requested that the officers may
kindly be made the due payment for the extra work done in the last financial
year and being done in the current financial year.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
