The Public Administration Reform Commission has recommended forming a permanent pay commission to facilitate the annual increase in salaries for government employees.
On Wednesday (February 5), the commission's chairman, Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury, submitted the report to Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus. Later, the Chief Adviser's press wing released the report.
The report suggested that the Ministry of Finance could analyze the inflation and cost-of-living index provided by Bangladesh Bank to determine the annual increment of the basic salary.
However, the annual salary increase should not exceed 5%.
For this purpose, the Public Administration Reform Commission has recommended the formation of a permanent pay commission.
Additionally, it has been recommended that government employees be allowed to retire voluntarily with full pension and all other retirement benefits after 15 years of service. The commission has also proposed abolishing the provisions for mandatory retirement or being placed on special duty (OSD).
