Daily Wages Employees Regularization Policy 2021 – Details

As regards the management of the work-charged employees, daily wagers, and contingent paid staff employees currently working with various departments, the following policy provisions are laid down:

The cases where services of work-charged, daily wage and contingent paid employees have already been regularized as civil servants through the wrong interpretation of court judgments MAY be reconsidered in the light of relevant laws under which such judgment was passed.

As the matter involves interpretation of court rulings, the opinion from the Law & Parliamentary Affairs Department would be obtained in each such case. If after proper security of the case, it transpires that the regularization of work-charged services as civil servants was not warranted by Court decisions/orders, fresh orders shall be issued strictly in accordance with the terms directed by Courts.

The cases already decided by the Higher Courts or Labour Courts which have attained finality shall be disposed of accordingly. All those employees who have completed 09 months or more may be considered for the status of permanent workmen in terms of Industries & Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968. They shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits of permanent workmen.

The work-charged, contingent paid, and daily wage workers who possess requisite skillsets/qualifications may be considered for the status of permanent workmen. However, where no bring criteria have been formulated, they may be named in the first instance.
