Centre is all set to bring in a Performance Related Incentive System (PRIS) for its employees. The system devised & tested by IIM, Ahemdabad allows any employee to receive cash incentives if s/he gets a performance rating of 70% or more as per Results Framework document. Secretaries / Joint secretaries will receive the incentive based on overall performance of their Departments, while others will be evaluated on individual performance. Around 62 ministries and departments have implemented the system of evaluating the performance. These departments have also installed bio-metric systems to improve punctuality.
The Govt asked various departments to make savings by cutting costs and would allow upto 15% to be paid as incentives. Thus not putting any additional burden on the Govt. finances. The scheme has been approved by a Committee of Secretaries, appointed for the purpose and is likely to be implemented effective 2012-13.
