Central government employees should not be allowed to earn annual increments if they fail to meet performance criterion, the Seventh Central Pay Commission has recommended even as it sought upgradation of performance benchmark to \u201cvery good\u201d from \u201cgood\u201d level.<\/p>\n
It has also recommended introduction of the Performance Related Pay (PRP) for all categories of central government employees.<\/p>\n
There is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in the hierarchy happen as a matter of course. The perception is that grant of Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP), although subject to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for granted, the panel said.

\u201cThis Commission believes that employees who do not meet the laid down performance criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments. The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service. \u201cThis will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees. However, since this is not a penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving withholding increments will not be applicable in such cases. This will be treated as an efficiency bar,\u201d it said in the report submitted to the government. Additionally, for such employees there could be an option to leave service on similar terms and conditions as prescribed for voluntary retirement, the panel said. – See more at: https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/india\/india-news-india\/no-annual-increment-for-non-performing-employees-7th-pay-commission\/#sthash.smv1VRnv.dpuf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
