No regular pay scale for contractual posts: CAT

No regular pay scale for contractual posts: CAT

The subsequent merger of a contractual post into a regular establishment of a government department will not entitle an employee to claim a regular pay scale, the Central Administrative Tribunal has held.
The Tribunal was hearing a matter of an ex-armyman Jai Ram Solanki, appointed on contractual basis, who demanded the regular pay scale associated with Office Superintendent after the regular establishment of MCD took over the post in 2001.
"The appointment was purely on contractual basis for a particular project with certain stipulations which included payment of a fixed remuneration. Thus, claim for a regular pay scale would not be tenable. Again, even the subsequent merger of the post in the regular establishment of the MCD would not give him any such right," it said.
