Dear Mr. Albuquerque,
That is true. But by Indian standards these salaries
are considered reasonable. The others are in Banks,
Oil and Chemical followed by Mining ( in the late
'90s). And do you know what the majority of the
working class get. Per annum 15 days privilege leave
accumulable upto 45 days, upto 9 days Sick leave non
accumulable and 6 days casual leave non accumulable.
There is no guarantee on employment. You are hired or
fired depends on the bosses whims and in small shops
or industrial estate the definition of "whims and
fancies can extend from shopfloor desk or bedrooms"
The going salaray per month is Rs 1500 to Rs 3000. No
annual increments or pay rise. Bonus if given is a
festival gift in cash or kind or never ever. The
Holidays are 5 compulsory plus two with pay. The
working hours 8.30 to 8 p.m. there is a long siesta
for the boss to snooze because in Goa life in these
one two employee establishments comes to a standstill
from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the staff have to flock
around shops, church square alleys gardens until the
boss returns. Now the recent trend is employment on
contract and there are no statutory benefits.
Compared to all this the Govt salaries are lucrative,
because there is No Accountability - your salary
meter runs.
