This seems to have been an aspect that has been deliberated at for some time, and there are sufficient plans now to actualize it. At the moment, salaried employment of central government employees is done based on fitment factor and dearness allowance, which features changes every two times within the year. Then there was also Talk about equal Benefit plan. The government seeks to confirm these salary disparities among the employers but across all the categories. As said it seeks to end all gaps Kuya between men and women when it comes to inequality on pay scale. The Ackroyd’s formula stands to fix pay according to the design that is defined for private companies. This will guarantee that everyone work for the same amount of money that ensures that the former scale of Great pay does not dominate. In the words of Finance Ministry officials this new formula is of utmost importance for better appraisal of the overall central government employees remuneration. The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission made major shifts in the new directions to be made in the current Pay Commission’s system. This formula will ensure gradual increments in salaries of the employees to commensurate the inflation and the cost of living so much so that adequate purchasing power and hence greater financial security is provided to the employees.
