The National Assembly has approved a resolution seeking increase in the basic salary of government employees in the upcoming federal budget. This is very good news for government employees for they have been struggling to meet their basic needs and any increase in their pay structure would give them a boost.
The resolution was moved by a Minister of PML-N and was approved by all political parties. This was a very necessary step and the government employees will be much heartened by the fact that the government is taking their welfare into account.
With the necessities of life getting out of reach and inflation driving up costs government employees barely make do with their salaries. An increase in their basic pay will motivate them to work harder and perform better. And if the government also introduces an incentive plan for the above average employees and those who are diligent workers they may work even harder. The government machinery will not be able to run without the government employees and so they must be provided with a conducive work environment and better pay packages.
