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
