The finance department on Friday decided to adopt the Punjab government letter dated August 22 for UT employees and those working on deputation from the state of Punjab.

The letter states that in all such cases where there is an anomaly, the pay of such senior employees shall be stepped up to the level of the pay of junior employees. The junior and senior employees should belong to the same cadre.

The letter further stipulates, “Before the implementation of the re-revised pay scales in 2011, the senior had been drawing pay equal to or more than the pay of the junior. The anomaly should be directly a result of the re-revised pay scale in 2011.”

The next increment of a senior shall be admissible on the same date as that of his junior, with respect to whom he has got his pay increased. The benefit of pay increase can be allowed to the senior employees for the second time, if the anomaly has again arisen with reference to the pay of the same junior.
