Around 25,000 contractual employees of the Punjab government, who have completed 10 years of service, will be regularised by the Aam Aadmi Party government, as the Punjab Council of Ministers accepted the report on regularisation of employees on Monday.The first set of contractual employees to be regularised will be from the Education department, from today onwards.
While 8,000 contractual employees working in the Education department stand to benefit, 6,000 more in the Health department would be regularised. Employees in the Transport and Power departments will also benefit. The employees to be regularised will get basic pay for first three years of service, as per a previous policy of the Punjab government. This policy will be a one-time policy, said top government officials. This means that only those employees who have completed 10 years of service will be regularised.Each department will bring out a separate policy for regularisation of its contractual employees, and will have a separate special cadre.
