They say recruitment rules favour the new entrants
Senior social security assistants of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) are worried about losing promotion opportunities, even after serving the institution for several years, due to recruitment rules favouring the new entrants.
Several senior social security assistants working in Karnataka and other States have written to the Central Provident Fund Commissioner in New Delhi to address the issue and provide them with justice.
The employees recruited as social security assistants in the organisation get a chance to become section supervisors or head clerks after they clear the departmental competitive examination. However, the organisation did not conduct the examination to fill the vacancies created between 1993 and 2017, denying the employees opportunities for promotion.
