ORDNANCE FACTORIES
RECRUITMENT BOARD A/IR –
DDG Upto 2013-14, around
23000 posts have been sanctioned for Recruitment in Ordnance Factories and as
per the feedback received around 12000 persons have joined already. Recruitment process is in various stages for
10,000 to 11,000 posts. Some Factories
not yet advertised vacancies; some of them are under the investigation due to
some complaints. In the recent Head of
Departments (HOD) meetings (GMs Conference) this was discussed with Secretary
DDP, M of D and Secretary agreed for Centralised Recruitment. So the Ordnance Factories Recruitment Board
will be approved soon to recruit all Group ‘C’ Posts. For Chargeman DR, NADP Ambajhari will take
the responsibility for recruitment.
10.
RECRUITMENT IN NIE
CADRE During 2013-14, 900 posts were sanctioned for
recruitment in various factories.
Further sanction is also being considered and will be issued shortly,
particularly for CMDs, Stenographers etc for sanction.
11. Tradesmen SSK on
completion of 2 years are to be promoted to Skilled. Factories are delaying in conducting Trade
Test and effecting promotions. It was
agreed to the Staff side suggestions to conduct Trade Test before 3 months of
completion of 2 years and the
promotion will be released on time i.e., on completion of 2 years.
12.
30 Days EL FOR IES
WHO HAVE OPTED FOR FACTORIES ACT DDG/A/A
After granting 30 days EL to all industrial
Employees from November, 2006, the Piece Workers are denied the benefit of
availing 30 days EL on the reasons that they have opted leave under Factories
Act. PC of A Fys denied to grant 30 days
EL for Piece Workers as the Factories Act restrict EL only upto 18 days. They said either fresh option is to be allowed
or it will remain in the same status.
The reasons because, for Industrial Employees
in Ordnance Factories TWO set of leave rules are there
(i) Under Factories Act (ii) Departmental Leave
Rules
Whereas in Railways only one Rule is applicable to all
i.e., Departmental Leave Rules, we have therefore agreed to kill theproblem to
agree for retaining/opting for only Departmental leave Rules by which all will
get 30 days EL and can accumulate upto 300 days. Due to this issue, Piece Workers are granted
only 18 days and at the time of retirement they are given @ rate of 18 days per
year. We therefore, agreed to switch
over to Departmental Leave Rules thereby all will get 30 days EL per annum. Proposal has been sent to M of D and
DOP&T for approval. Further we will
try to get the benefit with retrospectively so that those who have paid less on
leave encashment will be granted.
Pensioners will be benefited.
13. DIRECTOR /A/NI
a)
The
issue of stepping up of Pay between Direct Recruitees and pormotees among the
Teaching Staff of Ordnance Factories have been raised. Director/A/NI replied that in respect of PRT,
TGT and PGT wherever the promotees are drawing lesser than the Direct Recruitees,
will be given Stepping up of Pay as was done in Sr.Staff Nurse, Fireman
etc. This will be considered on
receiving the details from the INDWF.
b)
Revival
of abolished posts was taken up with DOP&T but they did not get any
reference. M of D wants matching saving
for releasing of Additional Sanction in NIE Cadre proposal is being worked
out.
