The Haryana Government has decided to provide home peon facility to the All India Service (IAS) Officers, Judicial Officers and Heads of Departments working for the state of Haryana.
Similarly, all Haryana Civil Services (HCS) Officers working for the State of Haryana, who exercise the magisterial powers by virtue of their posting would also be given this facility, a spokesperson of the State Government said.
These officers would be allowed to engage a home peon at their own level at the statutory minimum wages for unskilled labour as fixed by the State Government from time-to-time. They may inform their DDO regarding the engagement of home peon, including the name and address of the person so engaged, along with the bank account details of the person.
The reimbursement of the remuneration given to the home peon, to the extent of minimum wages for unskilled labour fixed by the Government from time to time, will be made to the eligible officers by the DDO on submission of a self-certificate in this behalf.
Once an officer avails the services of home peon, they would not be entitled to use the services of any other Class IV employee of the Government at their residence, added the spokesperson.
