New Delhi: Non-performing Central government
employees will not get annual increment if their performance is not up to the
mark, the Centre has said.
The benchmark for performance appraisal for promotion and
financial upgradation has been enhanced to “very good” from “good” level, the
Finance Ministry said in an order notifying implementation of Seventh Central
Pay Commission’s recommendations.
The Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) scheme will
continue to be administered at 10, 20 and 30 years of service as before, the
Ministry said as it “accepted” the pay panel’s recommendations.
The recommendation of “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” has been
“accepted”, it said.
The pay panel had in its report to the Centre said that 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 MACP, although subject to the
employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for
granted. This 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. This will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient
employees,” it had said.
There are
about 50 lakh Central government employees.
