Misconduct against women staff must be dealt with sternly: HC

Mumbai, Oct 4 () Any misconduct against women employees must be dealt with most sternly, the Bombay High Court today said and asked organisations to draw up a list of "dos and dont's" for male employees over conduct towards female staff.

A division bench headed by Justice V M Kanade referred to a judgement of the US Supreme Court and cited that "sexual misconduct cannot be viewed in a vacuum" and that employers and organisations must identify the "underlying threat of violence" in such conduct against women.

The observations were made by the high court while hearing a petition filed by a central government employee seeking action against her superior over allegations of sexual harassment.

The bench today noted that organisations must treat all complaints of sexual harassment seriously and without bias and that it was also necessary to provide safeguards and assistance to female employees.

"In the past, such behaviour would be ignored and terms as part of the work culture. It was even said that men had said or done things inadvertently. But now all organisations must change with the changing times. Any misconduct against women employees must be dealt with most sternly," the court said.

The woman approached the high court after the internal committee at her workplace ruled that while the incidents she had reported against her superior did show that she had been inconvenienced and harassed, the same did not amount to sexual harassment.

The internal committee had penalised and demoted the superior. However, the woman sought harsher punishment for her superior.

The court today denied to increase the punishment and said it need not interfere with the committee's decision.

According to the woman, between 2011 and 2013, her superior made several sexual advances at her and when she began to openly spurn his advances, he resorted to threatening her professional growth and career, insulting and humiliating her in front of other employees, and isolating her by asking others not to talk to her

7th CPC : New Allowances from August ?

Following News has been published by Sen Times, a popular website for Central Govt. employees.

“Fatter allowances are likely to be implemented with effect from August 1, 2016,” sources in Finance Ministry familiar with the matter said today morning asking not be named.

“The arrears of hike in basic pay is usually only paid. No arrears for allowances is paid, as per usual practice, the allowances is paid from the date of starting payment of salaries on the recommendation of the new pay commission, the 7th Pay Commission recommendations has been started from August. Hence the government will implement higher allowance from August 2016 and the government is considering this angle,” the sources said.

The government has paid its employees arrears arising from implementation of the 7th Pay Commission recommendations in one go in August salaries. The basic pay hike has been madeeffective from January 1, 2016.

“The FM is likely to approve the proposal of committee on allowances which will stick to the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations on allowances like glue and the higher allowances will be implemented with prospective effect from August 2016,” the sources confirmed.

However, the central government employees unions demanded for implementation of the allowances with retrospective effect from January 2016.

The hike in allowances is likely to happen by October 31, the sources told The Sen Times.

Meeting with the Chairman GDS Committee

The Chairman, GDS committee covened a meeting by inviting Federations for discussing issues of GDS in the wake of post approval of the recommendations of VII CPC. We submitted a Memorandum to the GDS Committee demanding regularization of GDS as departmental employees and we have given enough justification for regularization. Notwithstanding our earlier Memorandum, we have submitted our views on post approval of the recommendations of VII CPC.

We demanded multiplication factor of 3.25 for GDS while calculating new pay. The Chairman asked for justification for 3.25 factor from the staff side. We replied the following.

1. Central trade Union demands Rs. 18000/- as minimum pay for unskilled labour working in the country. Therefore accepting Rs. 18000/- as minimum pay which was granted by VII CPC is not acceptable.

2. National JCA comprising all Central Govt. Employees Associations / Unions is not accepting minimum pay of Rs. 18000/- fixed by VII CPC to the Central Govt. employees. NJCA is opposing minimum pay of Rs. 18000/- and demanding Rs. 26000/- as minimum pay with enough justification. Therefore our Federation does not accept Rs. 18000/- as minimum pay and 2.57 factor recommended by VII CPC to the GDS.

3)The present day functioning of post office is totally different when compared to earlier. Rural ICT is the slogan of the Govt. now. But for the co-operation of the GDS, the rural ICT is impossible in India Post. Therefore taking into consideration of the changing scenario, such as e-commerce, e-governance, payment bank, the role of GDS is very important. In the world CEO meeting, our Secretary, Dept. of Posts said that future business is lying only with e-commerce. If the Dept. wants success in the e-commerce as in the case of Royal mail, role of GDS is indispensable.

4. The payment Bank will commence functioning from the year 2017. The role of GDS in this regard is inevitable towards success of the payment Bank. Considering the above facts, the GDS pay should be fixed based on the factor 3.25 instead of 2.57 as recommended by the VII CPC.

India Post Payments Bank starts recruitment

India Post Payments Bank, IPPB has started its recruitment drive with the release of the advertisement for the post of the Chief Executive Officer/ Managing Director, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), other CXOs who will be heading its Operations, Risk and Compliance, Finance, HR & Administration and Sales and Marketing Departments. It has also advertised for some contractual positions across multiple Departments. Regular recruitment for other positions across scale I-VII will also be announced in the coming weeks. IPPB has also called for deputations from Public Sector Banks for some corporate HQ positions and will shortly be seeking deputations from banks, post office & other Government Departments for its branch locations. IPPB plans to recruit about 3,500 professionals in the coming months. Details are available on the India Post website. 

IPPB will be headquartered in New Delhi and plans to launch 650 branches across the country by the next year. The India Post Payments Bank will leverage the widespread reach and the trust that the Post office enjoys in the minds of the citizen to truly drive financial inclusion. 

With all 1.54 lakh Post offices, including 1.39 lakh rural post offices as its access points and 650 Payments bank branches in district Headquarter locations, it will be the most accessible bank in the world in terms of reach. It will deploy state of the art technology to make banking both simple and convinient to its customers. IPPB calls upon dedicated and committed professionals who would want to be part of the journey to create a national financial architecture which will connect every citizen with the financial services that they need to access. 

It may be recalled that the India Post Payments Bank Limited has received the Certificate of Incorporation from the Registrar of Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs on 17th August, 2016 under the Companies Act 2013. This would be the first PSU under the Department of Posts. This has happened in the wake of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Independence Day address, raising the expectations of the people from the soon to be set up India Post Payments Bank. With this move the Department of Posts has cleared an important milestone on this journey. 

The Department of Posts is expected to complete the roll out of its branches all over the country by September 2017. This could be the fastest roll out for a bank anywhere in the world.
