The Union Minister for Chemicals & Fertilizers Ramvilas Paswan announced on Saturday that revised pay scales according to Justice Mohan Commiittee recommendations on 5th Pay Commission would be applicable to Hindustan Antibiotics employees from 17 Jan 2009.The arrears from 1997 would be given in instalments in due course of time and the timetable for arrears distribution would be discussed with the HAL Employees Unions. Every employee will also get Rs 1000 as bonus in the new year.
Paswan was speaking at the inauguration of the new Cephalosporin plant of HAL in Pimpri today. The HAL Union General Secretary Shri Pataskar said that employees were working on the same salary since 1992 and badly needed the pay hike. Mahatma's wife Smt Kasturba Gandhi died in Pune after she could not get the required medicines after which Nehru in 1954 had announced setting up of Hindustan Antibiotics. Selling such cos and not turning them around was wrong as was done during Arun Shourie's time.
The plant has been set up at a cost of Rs 20.17 crores in a record 9 months time and will enable the company to manufacture the new generation antibiotic for the domestic & international market. The immediate application of new pay scales would increase the salaries of employees by roughly 25 percent and the benefits would be in the range of Rs 1500-8000 depending on the level of the employees.
