To which employees is State Pay Commission applicable?
The recommendations of the State Pay Commission are applicable to all employees under the State Government. This includes employees of various government departments of the state, state police, staff of state government-run institutions and pensioners of the state government.
Commission decides salary, allowances and pension
The main function of the State Pay Commission is to give recommendations on issues related to pay scale, allowances and pension of government employees. The Commission prepares its report keeping in mind the current economic condition of the employees, inflation and cost of living.
It will become an example for other states also
The announcement of formation of 8th State Pay Commission by Assam is being considered an example for other states also. Generally, states constitute their commission only after the pay commission of the central government. By taking this step, Assam has forced other states to think as well.
