Vice President Dr. Waheed has requested government employees to be more responsible and to provide the best possible service to the citizens. As the greater portion of government revenue is spent on staff salaries, government employees are obliged to render the most faithful service to the citizens who provide the government with the revenue.
Speaking at a press conference held at the President’s Office, Dr. Waheed advised the senior management and employees to make a great effort to work together and to concentrate on working during official hours instead of working overtime.
Dr Waheed said that employees should work overtime only when dealing with urgent matters or in emergencies and that this is the practice in other parts of the world as well. He added that putting in unnecessary overtime would not be beneficial to either the employer or the employee.
Dr. Waheed mentioned that while the changes to the civil service salary framework might have a negative effect on the income of some employees who earn considerable amounts by working overtime, the inclusion of allowances and the new salaries will comparatively increase the income of every civil servant.
When asked by Miadhu Daily of the government’s view regarding the concerns raised by some employees who contend that they would face grave difficulties in cooking for and feeding their children within the one-hour break period, the Vice President stated that he understands that there will be such difficulties and implored the employees to make the best use of their time.
