Special thanks to Mr. Zahid Khan for sending the copy of the Notification Incentive Allowance by Finance Department Punjab Government.
I need a Notification issued by the Punjab Finance Department for upgrading the post of Project Assistant of Local Government Department. And the Local Government was issued a Notification in November 2019 in this regards.
Does this incentive allowance apply to the contract employees of the program or only for regular ones…?
The is not clarified in the Notification.
Whether this allowance is admissible to persons who are on deputation to authorities and autonomous Bodies?
As soon as i get further clarification I shall share.
