The Haryana Government has revised the wage rates for its part-time and daily wage employees. The increased rates will be effective from January 1, 2025.

A notification in this regard has been issued by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi.

Two salary slabs have been created as per the revised rates. Under the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam, if the monthly salary of a part-time or daily wage employee is Rs 19,900, then his daily wage has been fixed at Rs 765, and hourly wage at Rs 96. If an employee works one hour a day in a month, he will get a salary of Rs 2487 per month.

Similarly, if the salary of an employee has been fixed at Rs 24,100 by the Nigam, then his daily wage has been fixed at Rs 927 while per hour at Rs 116. If an employee works for one hour per day in a month, he will get a salary of Rs 3012 per month.

The government has also issued a notification amending the Haryana Civil Services (Leaves) Rules, 2016 to provide compensatory leave for Group-C and Group D government regular employees.

Under the amended rule, if employees perform official duty on a notified holiday, they will be entitled to compensatory leave within a month. This leave can also be taken along with related holidays and station leave. However, under no circumstances the total leave period will exceed 16 days. If an employee applies for compensatory leave within a period of one month and the sanctioning authority rejects the request, then the leave can be availed within the next 15 days, otherwise the leave will be considered expired. Also, compensatory leave will not be provided if financial incentive has been provided or proposed for the same day.

The government has also issued a notification amending the Haryana Civil Services (Leaves) Rules, 2016. According to the notification, now all regular women employees will get 25 casual leaves per calendar year.

In addition, regular women employees appointed before 30 June in a calendar year will now get 25 casual leaves instead of 20 while male employees will get 10 casual leaves. Women employees appointed between 30th June and 30th September will get 12 casual leaves while male employees will get 5 casual leaves. At the same time, women employees appointed after 30th September will get 6 casual leaves while male employees will get 2 casual leaves. Apart from this, women employees appointed after 30th November will get 3 casual leaves while male employees will get one casual leave.

In addition, male employees will get 10 days casual leave during 10 years of service, 15 days casual leave for more than 10 years but less than 20 years of service and 20 days casual leave after 20 years of service. The government employee will be entitled to take this increased leave from the calendar year in which he completes 10 or 20 years of service. Apart from this, if an employee dies during service, the family of the deceased employee will either be able to take rent allowance for two years or keep government accommodation for two years on payment of normal licence fee. If the government accommodation is voluntarily surrendered by the family of the deceased government employee before two years, then rent allowance will not be available for the remaining period.

The state government has also decided to extend the contract period of employees working in departments, boards and corporations under Outsourcing Policy Part-2 by one month. Now the contract of these employees will remain effective till July 31, 2025
