Transfers on line for public servants by Ananda Kannangara The Public Sector Trade Union Committee (PSTUC), headed by W.H. Piyadasa will meet the transfer boards at the Public Administration Ministry next month to assist them in processing transfers of 2000 State employees for the year 2005. The transfer boards will comprise the Director General of Combined Services Victor Samaraweera and Heads of respective departments under the supervision of Public Administration Minister Amarasiri Dodangoda. PSTUC, Convener W.H. Piyadasa said that they will strictly adhere to the rules and regulations adopted by the transfer boards last year and accordingly, all public servants who completed their services for a period of 10 years or more in the same department will be compulsorily transferred to another department. `It is said that the service of employees who completed more than five years in the same department too will be considered for annual transfers if necessary. "We have come to know that a large number of State employees who had completed more than 15 years in the same department are still attached to the same institutions and this situation has caused injustice to many others," he said. He said transfers are made within the departments which are under the Combined Services and once the transfers were fixed this time, no persons will be allowed to get them cancelled through other ways. The departments such as Health, Agriculture, Agrarian, Railways, Lands, Income Tax and Education are not coming under the combined services. In response to a question Piyadasa said that employees receiving medical treatment for accidents or other major illnesses will not be transferred, considering the medical reports produced by them. |
