Punjab Newsline, Shimla-

The State Government has taken yet another major decision in the interest of its employees. Under the new provision, Class-IV employees who were regularized after 15th May 2003, will now be granted one year of regular service benefit, for every five years of daily wage service, for the purpose of pension calculation. Accordingly, a maximum of two years of regular service benefit will be counted for employees having ten years or more of daily wage service.

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu while presiding over a high-level meeting announced this decision. He said that this move would particularly benefit those Class-IV employees who were earlier deprived of pension benefits at the time of their retirement due to having less than ten years of regular service.
