...ent or regular employees but not for contractual or temporary employees like us. Usually the regular staffs get benefits like CL, EL, LTC, Medical etc along with the 7th pay scheduled with DA and other allowances in salary that makes satisfactory financial supports with significantly job security. But, we the daily basis contractual employees get only the basic wages according to the approved labour rate of CLC for 26 or 29 or 30 days basis in a month. No any other benefits like CL, Medical not provided to us. We fill quit separated from regular employees accordingly to their behavior, whereas having good educational qualification and communication skills. Because of not having Govt. secured job and not conscious about to avail Govt job sectors. Sometimes lots of working pressure have to handle and done with direction of higher officials without any good appreciations afterall receive only regrets. There are no any option for any kind of promotion. Salary hike only on basis of labour rates by CLC accordingly.
