New Delhi: Employees facing disciplinary proceedings or having adverse annual confidential report should not be given additional charge of any government post, the Centre said on Thursday.
Besides, the employees are not entitled for additional pay for holding additional charge of the posts in public sector undertakings, autonomous bodies, etc, it said.
The instructions comes following a review of Financial Rules (FR) 49--regarding combination of appointments--done by Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) with a view to ensure that the norms are applied in public interest.
"No person who is facing a disciplinary proceeding or is otherwise not suitable (for example who has an adverse entry in a recent Annual Performance Appraisal Report) should be given the additional charge," it said.
