Bank Union has demanded Five Days Banking for all the employees of Banking sector after 11th Bipartite settlement. When Five days working are there in almost all the department like SEBI, RBI, LIC etc why not in banks ?
Union has raised the issues on the various ground like :
1. Five Day week is already available in the international banking system.
2. It is also
available in our country in RBI, Central and State Governments, Public Sector
Undertakings and Private Sector MNCs and IT Sector.
3. Hence, it should be
introduced immediately in the entire banking industry.
The working hours should not exceed 36.5 hours in a week.
4. The daily working
hours should not be more than 6.5 hours in the normal course.
Any working hours, more than 7 hours a day, should be compensated monetarily
to the extent of twice the actual hourly salary in the normal course.
5. This should be
uniform for the Banking Industry as the Govt directs banks to work late or on
holidays often and we follow their directions but compensation varies between
Banks.
6.They should also be made eligible to take weekly off to the extent of additional
hours of duty rendered by them as rest is needed for recuperation.
Officers should be paid for working on holidays/sundays
The Officers who are called upon to work on weekly-off days and holidays, should
be compensated as above and in addition be permitted a compensatory off on a
date convenient to them and such weekly offs be credited to the leave account.
Need to have uniform holidays to the officers in the Grid, as the holidays are
declared by RBI, substantially less no of holiday is extended to the officers
