Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed on Sunday said that the formation and implementation of a new Pay Commission will be decided by the next elected government.
The interim government will only carry out ongoing reforms to a reasonable stage before handing over a consolidated framework for the incoming administration, he said while talking to reporters after a series of meetings at the Secretariat.
Dr Salehuddin said: “We cannot say much at this stage. Let’s see how far the process moves. The next government is likely to take it forward as the initiative has already been started.”
On July 24, the Council of Advisers formed a new Pay Commission for employees and officials who are under the National Pay Scale to review and recommend a new salary structure for government and autonomous officials and employees. It will assess salaries, allowances, and other benefits of employees across government, semi-government, autonomous bodies, state-owned banks, financial institutions, approved universities, and state-owned industrial enterprises covered by the national pay scale.
The Pay Commission was asked to submit its report in six months.
