ORDER

Sub:-Payment of contractual amount to contractual, casual and outsourced persons of Departments and other organizations of Government of Rajasthan during lockdown period due to COVID-19.

As part of social distancing and isolation measures to contain the spread of COVJD- 19, the State Government had announced State wide lockdown. Instructions were separately issued by Home Department regarding maintenance of essential services in the State.

Due to these measures, there was a likelihood of a number of contractual, casual and outsourced persons being required to stay at home which under normal circumstances would result in deduction in their contractual amount. In order to avoid any undue hardships under the prevailing extraordinary circumstances, it has been decided that any such contractual, casual and outsourced persons, engaged as per applicable rules, in various Departments and other organizations of the State, who were required to stay at home in view of lockdown order due to COVID-19, shall be treated as 'on duty' during such period of absence and the contractual amount would be paid accordingly.

The payment for the period of lockdown would be on the basis of average attendance of the person(s) immediately preceding two months of lockdown.
