QUALIFYING SERVICE FOR PROMOTION

Eligibility for promotion : - It is necessary to fix suitable standards for promotion from one grade to another, including minimum length of service in the lower grade. As far as possible, the minimum length of service in the lower grade prescribed as a condition for promotion to the higher grade should not markedly be different from that prescribed by other Departments for promotion to similar grades involving the same nature of duties and responsibilities. 

The qualifying service for promotion from one grade to another is necessary so that there is no premature promotion or undue jump in pay and also to ensure that the officer has sufficient opportunity to demonstrate his competence/potential for holding the higher post. The period of qualifying service varies from post to post depending upon the scale of pay and the experience, required for manning the higher post. Broadly, the following qualifying service for promotion from one grade to another may be followed:

Employees prefer higher take home salary over other benefits: TimesJobs Survey

According to the latest compensation and benefit survey by online portal TimesJobs.com, rising inflation and increasing cost of living has led employees to re-evaluate priorities on how they are compensated for their work. The survey indicates that most employees, across generations, prefer a higher 'in-hand' pay out compared to other components of the salary, TimesJobs said in a statement. 

According to the survey, 87% employees prefer a customised compensation structure, and organisations should take that into account while designing benefits. 

'In-hand' salary matters more to the junior level employees than the ones at the mid and senior levels. Kishore Sambasivam, director-total rewards, SAP, attributes this trend to the fact that employees at junior levels are typically single and seek ownership. They do not want money locked up in a PF or superannuation benefit. Employees at this level want to plan their investment strategies which may have a higher risk and return profile. 

"Effective management starts by understanding who you are managing. This boils down to knowing the expectation the workers have from the organisation. As indicated by our survey, the future of compensation will be a customised compensation and benefit package to suit the needs of the employee," Vivek Madhukar, COO, TimesJobs.com said in a statement. 

According to the survey, almost 90% of the employees prefer a customised compensation package. Their priority of what is more important to them depends on the stage of their career and their age. 

While salary remains core to all age groups, the baby boomer generation prefers post-retirement benefits (24%) such as PF and gratuity, there is a marked distintion for other perks in the Generation X segment with 29% wanting club memberships, car, and company housing. The youngest Gen Y generation is eager to have it all with an equal balance of about 20% for each benefit - be it medical, post retirement or other perks. But, by and large, salary remains the core consideration for all levels coming in lowest at a considerable 41% for Gen Y and a high of 57% for the boomer generation. 

According to Sambasivam, employees prefer flexibility in their compensation structure. This is dependent on the changing demographic profile, priorities, preferences, risk orientation, individuality and 'live-in-the-present' mindset. Traditionally, companies focused on long-term orientation such as Provident Fund (PF), superannuation, company provided accommodation, Leave Travel Allowance (LTA), and loans. Now, employees prefer more cash-in hand as it gives them the flexibility to spend as per their aspirations and lifestyle. 

"Companies need to be cognizant of the same and modify their compensation structure and philosophies in line with the changing expectations of the workforce", added Sambasivam. 

"A healthy compensation and benefit structure should have a balance between financial and non financial components and should be aligned with the strategic priorities of the organisation," said Raghavendra K, vice president and head, human resource development, Infosys BPO.

RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan hints at bank licence for India Post

          

The RBI governor, who is known for his  candid 

comments, suggested that the ‘Post Bank’ could

 be given a limited banking licence that will be 

able to raise deposits and offer payment and

remittance services.

NEW DELHI: Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan has backed the postal department's demand to set up a bank, even as the finance ministry has tried to block the move.

At the annual day lecture of the Competition Commission of India on Tuesday evening, the RBI governor, who is known for his candid comments, suggested that the 'Post Bank' could be given a limited banking licence that will be able to raise deposits and offer payment and remittance services. There will, however, be restrictions on investments and the entire amount would be have to be parked in government securities.

"...the proposed Post Bank could start as a payment bank, making use of post office outlets to raise deposits and make payments," Rajan said.
