A NOINO delegation consisting of Shri Ganesh Kamath, GS; Shri Manish Patankar, Shri Dattaraj Prabhukhanolkar, & Shri Suryakant Gawde met Managing Director Shri Sushobhan Sarker today, i.e. 13th April 2012 on the pending issues. The meeting was a brief one.
Before discussing the specific issues we talked on the general issues. We said that we expected transparency, impartiality & prompt sharing of information on all issues concerning the employees. We also talked about the experiences of evasive replies on our queries from the concerned authorities. We also brought to his notice the problem of perennial late sitting by the officers which was damaging the fabric of family, particularly in the case of lady officers. We urged the management to take serious note of this issue.
Shri Sarker assured to look into the matter. He confirmed that the removal of condition of compulsory 15 days leave on encashment of PL while in service was approved by the Board of Directors, which was however, subject to the approval of the Government. The following issues were then raised by us:-
1. Statutory audit in some branches of Thane:- We brought to the notice of the management that the officers after toiling hard day & night during closing were again asked to face statutory audit on 14th April(Holiday ) & 15th April(Sunday). We urged MD to postpone the audit as this may prove to be the last straw on the camel’s back. MD assured to look into the matter.
2. Transfers/Promotions/Postings: - When we reiterated our demand for minimum displacement of officers, particularly after the last year’s experience regarding the posting of ADM’s outside the Zone; MD seemed positive in this matter. We also insisted that a) while posting or in transfers the factors of distance from the home division; accessibility by train/road etc should be considered instead of just change of Zone. B) Hard areas of postings should be identified & relaxation of norms in re-transfer to home division should be allowed in these areas.
3. One more pension option: - MD did not seem positive in this matter.
4. Housing loan: - We reiterated our demand of bringing back the portfolio to LIC HPF. MD was not positive in this matter. We also reiterated our demand for a Group Insurance scheme for Housing loan. We also pointed out again that LIC HFL is asking the employees to pay back the entire outstanding loan in case flat goes for redevelopment. MD has noted both points.
5. Recruitment in Class III.
6. Arrogant & biased attitude of Srinagar SDM.
7. Revision in lease accommodation rent.
MD assured to look into the above matters.
Thereafter, we submitted a copy each of memoranda/letters of the following issues:-
- Demand for sabbatical leave for women employees---letter dated 17.3.2012 to ED(P).
- Modification in scheme of re-imbursement of medical expenses in cases of High Cost/protracted treatment---letter dated 27.3.2012 to MD Shri Thomas Mathew T.
- Anomaly in Fixation after Computer Increment--- letter dated 20.8.2011 to Ed(P).
- Modification in leave rules—regarding a) Intervening holidays between CL not to be taken into account as leave. B) Provision of availing PL to be reduced to minimum of 6 days instead of 7 days. C) Minimum 15 days of availing leave while seeking encashment of PL in a block of two years not to be compulsory.(now this has been accepted) D) HRA to be a part of ‘Salary’ while calculating amount for encashment of PL during service. Letter submitted to ED (P) on 26.11.2010.
- Letter dated 15.3.2012 on examples from 4 Zones regarding increase in EMI even after accounting of subsidy after transfer of Housing loan portfolio to HFL.
Since the meeting was brief, MD accepted all the memoranda & assured to look into all the issues. He also assured to meet at a later date to discuss the pending issues at length. NOINO assures all employees that it would continue to follow-up all the pending matters doggedly.
