Anomaly in recruitment

Dear Sir,

I am working in ONGC as Technical Assistant Grade-III Geophysics (Surface) (A2 Level) since 2008. Asking Qualification for the post is Postgraduate Degree in Physics or Geophysics. Pay Scale is 12000- 27000. Promotion for Class-III employees in ONGC is after every 6 years irrespective of qualification. Let me elaborate-

A2 level 12000-27000

A3 level 13500-31000

A4 level 15000-35000

E0 level (Officer Cateory) 20600-46500

It takes 18 years to reach E0 level from A2 level.

But my point- There is a Memorandum of Understanding between Management of ONGC and Recognised Unions, signed in 19 August 2004 approved by the Executive Committee of ONGC. According to that MOU Postgraduates of Physics, Geophysics, Chemistry, LLb and Engineering Graduates are to inducted at A4 level.

We were not aware about the MOU during our joining. But after collecting and reading the MOU, when we approached the Management they are denying to implement it to us. They said that you agreed to the terms and conditions to the post of A2 level. We are very demoralised sir. It is a huge degradation.

So please guide me what can we do. Can we go for legal assistance? will it be fruitful?

Regards

Anuraag

The language is " Will Be Recruited"..............................hence management is at fault.....

Usually there are GRC,IC,Works Committee .........................and there might be a Director on Board from worker's side.......They are duty bound to respond to you.

Represent to them in writing under proper acknowledgement and seek time bound response in writing.

If you are unable to handle on your own seek advice of Labor Law Consultant/Service matters lawyer.....

Respected Sir, What is the validity of MOU. Can a MOU prevail R&P Policy. Is it necessary that MOU should be registered with Labour Commissioner ? Regards, Jitendra H Patil
