5 days working week soon for CG Employees
While the government employees in Maharashtra have threatened to go on strike due to the non-implementation of the 7th Pay Commission, the government on the other hand is considering a five day working week. The employees have been demanding a five day working week with Saturday and Sunday as holidays.
The Chief Minister’s office is understood to have given the nod for a five day working week. The clause however is that the employees would have to put in an extra 30 minutes of work between Monday and Friday.
Currently, state government employees work six days every alternative week. They have been pressing for a five-day week for over a decade but it has always been turned down citing workload and inconvenience to the public as reasons. In the past, the government had suggested that employees work that extra half an hour for five days but the employees’ unions had rejected it. But this time, they have accepted the proposal.
