KUCHING: Government contract officers who apply to be permanent staff in the civil service should be given “weightage” by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Chief Secretary Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said this was especially so for those who had fulfilled service scheme conditions, served more than one year, achieved a good performance level of more than 85% and were recommended by their department heads.
“Do not treat them the same as fresh applicants (for government jobs),” he said when closing the 11th conference of the PSC and Education Service Commission at Damai Puri Resort in Santubong near here yesterday.
Mohd Sidek was responding to a request by Cuepacs to absorb some 45,000 contract officers as permanent staff in the civil service.
Komen
Sepatutnya SPA tidak pandang sebelah mata terhadap kakitangan kontrak di jabatan-jabatan kerajaan. Ada di kalangan mereka yang sudah bekerja beberapa tahun dan amat berpengalaman dalam bidang tugas mereka namun langsung tidak diperdulikan. Ada yang ditamatkan perkhidmatan selepas habis kontrak dan ini kadang-kadang merugikan jabatan yang terpaksa melatih kakitangan baru untuk menjalankan tugas yang sama.
Saya setuju dengan pandangan KSN supaya kakitangan kontrak diberi peluang untuk mendapat jawatan tetap dalam kerajaan tapi perlulah berdasarkan penilaian dan sokongan yang baik dari jabatan yang mereka bekerja.
