MODEL RECRUITMENT RULES FOR MULTI-SKILLED EMPLOYEES ORDERED BY DOPT

MODEL RECRUITMENT RULES FOR MULTI-SKILLED EMPLOYEES ISSUED BY DOPT

We have been demanding early finalization of Recruitment Rules to enable recruitment of Multi-Skilled Employees in all Deprtments - Now the Model Recruitment Rules is ordered by DOPT and all Departments are asked to finalize the same for each and every Departments.

The upgraded Group 'D' posts inTO Group 'C' will hereafterwords designated as " MULTI TASKING STAFF" - This new designation is more appropriate than Multi-Skilled Employees because the latter indirectly means all other categories of staff or not multi-skilled as like these upgraded Group 'C' posts. The misnomer 'Multi-Skilled Employees' has been corrected by designating as "MULTI TASKING STAFF"

It has been clarified by the DOPT Order that the purpose of Multi Tasking Staff means that one employee performing jobs hitherto perfomed by several Group 'D' Employees.

The Minimum Educational Qualifiction required is fixed as 'Matricultion' or 'ITI' [whereever technical qualification is required].

The Model nature of Duties to be performed by the Multi Tasking Staff has been noted in t annexure - II of the above Model Recruitment Rules which are self explanatory to show that the earlier orders issued by Department of Posts entrusting the duties of DATA ENTRY WORK performed by Postal Assistants / Sorting Assistants was wrong. NFPE and the Staff Side had also demanded higher scale of pay to Multi-Skilled Employees or Postmen staff if they have to be extracted with Data Entry Work. Now the recent orders of DOPT makes the position very clear that the Multi Tasking Staff are to perform duties other than Data Entry Operations.

LAST DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF MEMBERSHIP DECLARATIONS IS 26.04.2010 [MONDAY]

Dear Comrades!

There is no change in the Reverification schedule. All Group Leaders are requested to get ready all the Membership Declaration forms to submit the Membership list by the Divisional / Branch Secretary well in time on 26.04.2010 to the Divisional Head.

Do not believe in rumours as the re-verification process is not stayed. A Writ Petition was once again filed by one of the Bhartiya Unions in Honourable High Court of Madras and an interim injunction is granted for the trade union facilities of P3 NFPE; P3 FNPO; and IRM&ASRM Union. Due to this Interim injunction the Department had cancelled the trade union facilities of the above three unions. But the Re-verification process is continuing and there is no change in the date of submission of Membership Declarations to the Divisional Head. Please go ahead and file all the Membership Declaration Forms with 5 copies of membership lists with the signatures of Divisional / Branch Secratary in each page.

P3 NFPE and P3 FNPO have filed their counter affidavits in the Honourable High Court of Madras and the above case is coming up for hearing on Monday the 26th April. We have information that the Department had already prepared the brief and based upon that the Government Advocate also is expected to place the stand of the Government clearly in the Court on Monday. Our Advocate will also argue our case. All efforts are on for arguing against continuation of the interim injunction.

The entire rank and file are informed that we are taking all efforts to overcome the situation created by the Bhartiya Union with regard to the cancellation of trade union facilities of P3. NFPE as a Federation also has decided to implead in the said case to defend the positions of the Federation and its affiliates.

However all are once again requested to concentrate on the job at hand and complete the task of submission and subsequent verification of membership most successfully. We are confident that the Bhartiya Unions would be shown their position by the Postal Employees after the ongoing verification.

ENSURE OUR SUCCESS - BE ALERT - SUBMIT ON 26.04.2010 - VICTORY IS OURS

Divnl.Secretary, PIII.
