INTRO&>CTION

Electricity is an integral utility in modern society and became a supreme prime

need to get a common needs of human society which links to everything from a

human's subconscious fear of the dark to the practical need for working

illumination in an industrialized world. The entire world essentially runs on

electricity, in one form or another. Electricity is not only ingrained in modern life,

it is also critical for its continued existence, as electricity is the main source of

power produced world-wide.

reation of Electricity !tate "oards, entral #ublic !ector $nits, enactment of

special rules and laws are but few examples of the thrust given by entral and

!tate %overnments in the country to this life-line sector.

&ver the years the power sector in the country has under gone sea-change. The

electricity ct ())* and the regulatory regime under which the sector has to

operate, has made the sector more complex. Especially for the !tate owned

utilities it has become a challenging task to render the service, striking a balance

between the universal service obligation and commercial viability duly heeding

to the %overnment ob+ectives and policies. ll this has a direct bearing on the

nature of work of the employees of the sector.

s such the nature of work, duties and responsibilities, service conditions and

level of productivity of power sector are dierent from that of %overnment. The

Electrical Engineers work in a charged atmosphere and prone to Electrical

ccidents, which may be fatal some times. The work involves fullest attention,

sharp and focused approach with full operational knowledge. The work also

involves task completion approach rather than time based approach. The

engineers are the prime movers for this sector. Thus the pay structure of power

sector employees was de-linked from !tate %overnment employees pay

structure. The %overnment, erstwhile #!E" and its successor entities have

held the view so far.

Allowances$

2t is observed that during every pay revision the allowances arepostponed stating that they will be considered in due course. Aowever when theallowances are raised later, again the management is slipping away stating thatthe Gnancial matter will be taken up only in #. Thus, so far management hasnot taken any serious view on any of the allowances. This time #!E" EngineersM
