The state Finance Department has written to the PF Regional Commissioner's office, requesting comprehensive details of PF and ESI payments for employees working under the contract system in various government departments. This initiative shows the government's commitment to ensuring the welfare of contract employees and verifying that they receive their rightful benefits. The Finance Department is specifically investigating whether agencies are making proper PF and ESI contributions for these employees.
The Finance Department has also directed action against four employees who were found to be drawing two salaries. This move comes amidst ongoing complaints regarding irregularities within the contract services system. Officials from the Finance Department stated that further actions would be taken once the requested details are received from the PF office.
