KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — Cuepacs will send a paper to the Public Service Department (JSD) proposing that the maximum salary of civil servants be raised to incorporate five more increments.
Its president, Omar Osman, said Cuepacs expects to discuss the matter with the PSD next month after the talks were postponed this month, as PSD director-general Tan Sri Ismail Adam had gone on the Haj pilgrimage.
“Forty-five per cent of the civil servants are on their maximum pay. We fear this will adversely impact their quality and productivity,” he told reporters after opening a seminar for assistant health officers and a biennial delegate’s conference of the health inspectors union, here.
Omar also said that Cuepacs would ask Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to look into the welfare of government contract workers so that there were no more terminations of service next year.
The congress was disappointed that many government agencies had terminated the contracts of employees, particularly those who had served for between five and 15 years. — Bernama
