In the past, there has been dissatisfaction in the administration system because of the high salary of the army police officers who are below the rank of civil servants.
This subject of dignity and salary was admitted to the Committee on Industry and Commerce and Labor and Consumer Affairs under the House of Representatives. Then the committee wrote a similar letter to the Chief Secretary and the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance on 15th Shrawan.
It was instructed to adjust the salary scale for the year 2078/80 according to the order of merit so that the officials who are in the previous order of merit are more and the officials who are in the order of dignity are less.
In the letter written by the committee for the implementation of the decision, it is seen that the salaries of the employees in the previous order of merit have been set low, this has had a negative impact on the chain of command of the employees, there is no situation in which respect is shown according to the protocol and there is a lack of motivation and it has also affected the effective performance. , it is mentioned that the salary scale should be made apart from the other benefits received according to the nature of the group, sub-group.
According to the instructions of the committee, the Ministry of Finance has also approved the new salary proposal in the same way.
