JAMMU, Dec 15: Taking serious note of the reports that the salaries of a large number of employees, who have not registered themselves with the Jammu and Kashmir Human Resource Management System (JKHRM), the government on Thursday sought explanation within a week’s time from Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs).
“Why a sizable number of employees was paid salary for October despite them not registering themselves with the JKHRM?’, the government asked in a circular.
“In order to streamline the Human Resource Management System across various Departments of Jammu and Kashmir, the General Administration Department vide Circular No 35JK (GAD) of 2022 dated 12 October 2022 and Circular No 40-JK (GAD) of2022 dated 28.10.2022 advised all the employees to register themselves on JKHRM portal and to forward the service details to the concerned DDOs for verification/updation,” read a circular.
“Further, it was also impressed upon all the DDOs that the salary for the month of October 2022 shall be disbursed in favour of those employees only who have registered themselves/updated their service details on the designated portal and the concerned DDOs have verified the same,” it said.
“However, it has been observed that many DDOs have disbursed the salary of a sizeable number of employees without verification of their service details which has been viewed seriously by the authorities,” it said.
Reasons for not adhering to instructions may be furnished within a week, the circular read further.
“It is also impressed upon all the DDOs to ensure the registration/ verification of the service details of employees under their control within a period of one week and updation of the same on the JKHRMS portal,” it stated. Notable on October 12 the Government ordered the implementation of JKHRMS and asked employees to register themselves for drawing the salary for the month of October.
“In order to provide an integrated platform for various employee-related services like maintenance of service book vis-à-vis service record of the employees in digital format, postings and promotions, the Government intends to launch Jammu & Kashmir Human Resource Management System (JKHRMS) in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir,” read a circular issued by Secretary GAD Dr Piyush Singla.
“Besides, the information related to service, the portal will be a unified platform for access to salary slip, GP fund, Income Tax statement, SLI subscription etc. JKHRMS, a web based solution, would also provide an easy access to other employee related services like Employees Performance Monitoring (EPM) System and Property Returns System (PRS) on a single platform,” it read, adding, “The service related information i.e. Basic Information, Initial appointment/loining, qualification, contact, posting, promotion details etc. of all the employees working in UT of J&K, already captured under Centralized Personnel Information System (CPIS), has been integrated with the proposed JKHRMS. |
