Double Work Allowance Rule : The Benefits Of Doing Double Work : The state government may also temporarily appoint a government employee to serve in two independent posts at a time as caretaker.
In such cases, the salary of that employee will be governed as follows : –
- No benefit will be payable in the event of the post being subordinate to the post held by the employee.
- If the post is equivalent or inferior (but not a subordinate position), then the working allowance from 30 days to 60 days is 1.5% of the envisaged salary. If this happens for more than 60 days, then caretaker allowance is payable at 3% of the envisaged salary.
- Envisaged Salary : This is the sum of basic pay and grade pay in band pay.
- In the event of holding a higher post, if the government employee has the qualification to hold a higher post, otherwise holds seniority in regular promotion / casual promotion, then he will get the salary of higher post. Otherwise, 30% to 60 days will get 1.5% of the envisaged salary and 3% of the envisaged salary if it is more than 60 days.
- Holds a higher post but does not fulfill the above conditions, then the employee will be given a maximum of 1.5% of his salary for work beyond 30 days. Work load allowance will not be allowed for more than 6 months. Pre and post public holidays will also be included to calculate the period of work allowance. This allowance will be approved by the appointing officer. (Appendix ix-ii), (F1 (5) Finance Rules / 96 dated 12.09.2008)
