Pay Commission's recommendations
From media sources we came to know that the government is not in a position to implement the recommendations of the Pay Commission in one go. It was also learnt that the minimum salary bracket to be recommended by the Pay commission will be 4,500 and the highest bracket will be 45,000. Although it sounds reasonable that our government can not afford provision of additional funds required to implement the pay commission recommendations in one go, I would still request the government to consider implementation of the recommendations fully from the next budget for the government staff working in the lower brackets of the pay scale. For example, the government may consider implementing the recommendations fully from next budget for the group falling in the range of 4,500-6,000 taka salary bracket, as this group could hardly benefit from gradual implementation due to present high living costs.
