EMAIL From NFPE, Palakkad to NFPE CHQ

An email from our NFPE, Palakkad to CHQ to declare the Saturday as holiday is refurnished below

Presently, almost all central govt departments are having five day week  with 7 hours  work per day, except in postal department where it is still six days a week and eight hours  a day. The logic behind putting postal employees into this kind of arduous working hours might be based on the nature of indispensability of a proper communication system and affordable small savings financial services . In the present day market enthused options and choices  , it is worth reviewing the working hours prevalent in postal operative offices.

1.     With  the heavy work and new projects implementations, the employees in postal operative offices  are forced to sit late at offices beyond already lengthy stipulated office hours., This  in effect , reduces the time to be spent with their dear and near thereby  affecting  their  smooth family environment.

2.    Each employee has to find time for many family and social obligations such as paying utility bills, availing govt services as a citizen ,social functions etc. The lengthy daily schedule makes a postal employee either insincere towards his work by finding time for the aforesaid compulsions out of duty hours, or apathetic to the general aspects of duty bound citizenry. It is quite doubtful whether even the successive pay commissions have studied this aspect  with due consideration and in the right perspective.

3.    Setting an optimum working hours  in a department is essential  for the targeted  productivity and profitability.

4.    Unfortunately the reduced working hours for the postal department has never suggested by our administrative offices sometimes for the reason that  already the officials there enjoy five day week .

5.    Recently  the government has declared the 2^nd and 4^th Saturdays of every month as public holiday for banks in India accepting the long pending demand from the workers.

In view of the above aspects, we would like to put forward the demand of declaring 2^nd and 4^th Saturdays as closed holidays for all  postal operative offices. Moreover, Considering the  lengthy eight hours  daily work, the no. of casual leaves to be enhanced from the present,  trivial eight in numbers to twelve,  restoring the status quo ante before 5^th pay commission implementation.
