The implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission will benefit a total of 17,000 employees working with the corporation. Employees of the central and state governments got the pay commission from January 1, 2016. If PMC employees get pay commission, they will also get the arrears from 2016. The PMC will need to bear the arrears’ burden which is more than Rs 500 crore
As per PMC statistics, there are 91 class one; 448 class 2; 4,262 class three; and more than 13,000 class four employees in the municipal corporation.
All parties have agreed to giving the pay commission to employees and approving the resolution unanimously.
