Letter sent to IBA

DELAY IN 10TH BIPARTITE WAGE REVISION - NEGOTIATIONS

We acknowledge receipt of your letter No. HR & IR/UFBU/XBPS-4/465 dated 8th August 2014.

As advised earlier, it is desirable to take forward the negotiations in the interest of everyone to create a better atmosphere and avoid unpleasantness. It is quite natural that the negotiation process contains agreements/disagreements and warrants reasonable efforts for arriving at a consensus on the areas of disagreements. For the purpose, the negotiations need to continue considering the interests of everyone concerned towards expeditious settlement.

The process of negotiation was similar even in the earlier bipartite negotiations, where consensus was arrived at and finally was reached subsequent to reconciliation of differences through negotiations. It will not be out of place to mention here that even the Negotiating Committee of IBA has not offered the increase in wages to the tune of 11% pay slip components at one stroke but in stages during the course of negotiations

Hence, we request you to immediately resume the wage negotiations without any further delay, so as to exchange our views and explore the possibility of reconciling the difference and arriving at a consensus by taking a balanced view to ensure expeditious settlement of Tenth Bipartite Wage Revision.

Please treat the matter as EXTREMELY URGENT and we shall be glad to have your immediate response in this regard. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this communication and advise us the position

TRANSFER OF FEMALE EMPLOYEES IN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

MINIMISING THEIR HARDSHIP

Communication received from Government of India to all Banks

To

           

Chairman,

SBI/CMDs of all Public Sector Banks including IDBI and SBI Associates

Subject: Transfer of female employees in Public Sector Banks-minimizing their hardship.

Sir,

It has been brought to the notice of this Department that female employees of Public Sector Banks (PSBs), married or unmarried, when placed/transferred away from their husbands or parents, as the case may be, to distant locations face a genuine hardship and develop a feeling of insecurity. Keeping this in view, it has been decided:

  i.      To accommodate as far as possible placement/transfer of married female employee, on her request, at a place where her husband is stationed or as near as possible to that place or vice versa; and

   ii.    To accommodate as far as possible placement/transfer of unmarried female employee, on her request, at a place where her parents, are stationed or as near as possible to that place.

PSBs are, therefore, advised to frame a policy on the subject with the approval of their Board suitably incorporating the above and take immediate action for implementation and compliance. Pending requests may also be considered under these guidelines. A line of confirmation may be sent to this Department immediately after adoption of the policy by the Board of the Bank.

This issues with the approval of Secretary (Financial Services).

                                                                                                                

Yours faithfully,

Sd/-

(Manish Kumar)

Under Secretary to the Government of India
