Salary Hike: The Haryana government has revised the pay structure for part-time and daily-wage employees working in various government departments, boards, corporations, and public sector undertakings in the state. The revised pay structure will be effective January 1, 2025. This means that although the Haryana government is claiming to implement this change today, payments will only be made starting in January.
The government may pay the previous amount as arrears. According to a notification issued by Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, this decision was made following numerous requests from various departments and organizations seeking an increase in the remuneration of these workers. The notification divides districts into three categories, taking into account socio-economic and developmental differences. Within each category, different rates have been set for different levels of workers.
