All
Air India employees will get their salaries for September and October before
Diwali (November 13) and the productivity-linked incentive (PLI) for two months
by month-end.
The airline “will make up-to-date payment of PLI for all
licensed category employees [who include crew members and engineers] for May
and June. A directive to this effect has been given by Civil Aviation Minister
Ajit Singh,” an official statement issued here said.
The PLI for the non-licensed category would also be paid by
November-end.
Air India would incur an expenditure of Rs. 230 crore on
salaries, Rs. 200 crore on PLI the licensed category and Rs. 60 crore on PLI to
non-licensed employees.
Mr. Singh recently asked the AI management to make all efforts
in future for up-to-date payment of salary, in the backdrop of eight unions
threatening to wear black badges and hold rallies and gate meetings.
Earlier, AI pilots had gone on a 58-day strike over career
progression from May 7. PLI was abolished with effect from July this year after
the government implemented the Dharmadhikari panel recommendations on
integrating the staffers of erstwhile Air India and Indian Airlines.
