FEW SUGGESTIONS ON THE COMPOSITION OF THE 7th PAY COMMISSION:
i) Commission should be headed by a Retired or serving Judge of the Supreme Court;
ii) One of the Members of the Commission should be from Indian Revenue Service.
iii) Commission should have an expert on Job Evaluation as member;
iv) It should be assisted by a Consultative Body of AG, Indian Revenue, Ex-Defence and Railway Personnel to project the special conditions prevailing there in – being the largest employers.
Further the Sixth Pay Commission in paragraph 2.5.8 of its report recommended introduction of a new performance based pecuniary benefit, over and above the regular salary, for the Central Government employees. The Government of India accepted the recommendations and decided that the detailed guidelines will be issued by the nodal ministry. Performance-Related incentive will be payable taking into account the performance of the organisation and employee during the period under consideration. It is based on the principle of differential reward for differential performance. Then, it had also suggested the introduction of performance related incentive scheme (PRIS) in the government under which employees would be given pecuniary remuneration over and above the pay, replacing the ad hoc bonus scheme. The cabinet secretariat has developed result framework document. It is required to be confirmed by 7th CPC again.
