Kohima, January 31 (DIPR): The Government of Nagaland, Personnel & Administrative Reforms Department, has issued an office memorandum with regard to counting of contract/adhoc period for retirement.
The OM issued by Commissioner & Secretary, P&AR, Amardeep Bhatia stated that a number of cases have come to notice of the government, wherein service benefits in the form of increment, leave accumulation, etc for adhoc/contract period of appointment of government servants have been carried forward on their subsequent regular appointment to the same or other post through the Nagaland Public service commission or Departmental Selection Boards even without formal regularization of the contract/adhoc service.
It is, therefore, clarified, that for the purpose of calculation of length of service under Nagaland Retirement from Public Employment (Second Amendment) Act, 2009, such adhoc/contract period will be considered as ‘deemed regularized’ and counted towards the length of public service of the employee.
This office memorandum is issued in continuation of the Department’s earlier Office memorandum of even number dated 26/11/2009, dated 15/02/2010 and dated 11/10/2011, and specifically in clarification of point 2 in O.M dated 11/10/2011.
