REPRESENTATION ON AEBAS FOR GROUP B OFFICERS

     Kolkatta.                     (Kind attention: - Member/Per,O.F.Board) 

                        Sub: Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System(AEBAS)-reg

 R/Sir,

                       The Central Executive Committee of this Association appreciates for the initiation taken by OFB for introduction of Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) which is being followed by all the Central Government Departments. Before implementation AEBAS in factories in full-fledged manner, clarification on working Hour and Compensatory Off and timing of work as mentioned below may kindly Clarified.

1. After 4^th CPC, DOP&T issued an order (No- 13/11/86.JCA Dated-7^th Nov. 1986 ) regarding working hours of all the Central government Department in which it is stated that working hour of all the Ministries and Department should be weekly 40 Hours which is neither  being followed in Ordnance Factories nor clarified by OFB till date. This may kindly be clarified from at the earliest.

2.  Before implementation of AEBAS, DOP&T issued an order (13/2/2014-JCA Dated-5^th November 2014) regarding Posting of Information relating to Working Hours etc. on"Indian Government Websites." But OFB has not yet posted the working Hours of its Organization. Without posting the working Hour for Gazetted Officers, implementation of AEBAS in Ordnance Factories defines Logic which should be clarified from the concerned Authorities at the earliest.

3. As per S.R.O 182, JWMs are Classified as Group ‘B’ (Gazetted) Ministerial Cadre which clearly mentioned that the nature of Job of JWM is predominantly clerical and the working hour at par with all other ministerial cadre in Central Government Department is weekly 40 Hrs. with 30 minutes Lunch Break  which is not being followed in Ordnance factories. This may kindly be clarified from the concerned Authorities at the earliest.

4. It is brought to your kind notice that, the appointment method for all the Group B Gazetted (JWMs) and all the Group A Officers(AWM and above) are same in Ordnance Factory Organisation whereas the Working Hour differ in Factories and OFB which may kindly clarify according to rule and uniform working Hour or compensatory Off may kindly Granted.

                                                                                             

5.  As per DOP&T Order(11013/9/2014-ESTT(A-III) Dated-21^st November 2014 for AEBAS System ( Contained in DOP&T O.M. No: 28034/8/75- Estt-A dated 04-07-1975; No:28034/10/75-Estt-A dated 27-08-1975; No: 28034/3/82 —Estt-A dated 05-03-1982) half—a-day's Casual  Leave should be debited for each day of late attendance, but late attendance  up to an hour, on not more than two occasions in a month, and for justifiable          reasons may be condoned by the competent authority. In addition to          debiting Casual Leave (or Earned Leave, when no CL is available).    Disciplinary action may also be taken against government servants who are habitually late. Early leaving is also to be treated in the same manner as late coming. Without clarifying the working Hour in Ordnance Factories, the above order cannot be followed and it may lead for many complication.

6. Group ‘B’ Gazetted Officers are used to perform duties like Orderly Officers, Night Duty Officers and In charges in Different Shifts in Different timing which should be Compensated Accordingly in AEBAS System. Regarding these duties it may kindly be clarified.

7. In AEBAS, there is no provision for Shift timing but JWMs are detailed in Shifts which should be clarified or JWMs should not be detailed in any shift in Factories.

8. In AEBAS, Leave and attendance has to be booked in personal ID which requires Internet Facility for all the JWMs. Therefore it is requested to provide Computer and Internet to all the JWMs.

         Therefore, the Central Executive committee of this Association requests your kind clarification on the above points from the concern authorities for full-fledged implementation of Aadhar Enabled Bio-Metric Attendance System in all the Factories.

          Thanking you,
