Shillong, Nov 10: Meghalaya cabinet on Wednesday decided to give pension benefits to the 3635 ad-hoc employees who were working against sanctioned post but were regularised based on a Supreme Court ruling which stated that employees who were employed before December 31, 2007 on ad hoc basis will be regularised.
Based on the Supreme Court ruling, which allowed the state governments to take a one time decision, decision was taken to regularise the 3635 ad-hoc employees who were working against the sanctioned post.
This one-time decision that has been taken only for this particular case will also include the pension benefits to employees that have retired or have passed away.
