I am currently working in Food Corporation of India which is a CPSE fully owned by the Government of India. Here are some of the perks that I think makes this organisation amazingly good for the employees welfare -
- Working Hours - In an era where CEOs talking of 70 hours of work a week and Infact there are organisations where 10–11 hours a day is the new normal, we get to work for 7.5 hours a day after which you can pursue your hobby or spend time with the family and friends.
- Leaves - We get 17 Gazetted Holidays, 2 RH, 20HPL/10 Medical, 8 Casual Leave and 30 Earned Leave. Also if worked on a holiday we get compensatory leave which needs to be redeemed within 3 months. Amongst these leaves, EL and HPL accumulate every year and ELs are also encashable during the service and at the time of retirement (maximum 300).
- Medical facility - We get full coverage of treatment expenses of self and dependent family members for taking medical treatment from non-empanelled hospitals at CGHS rates. But if getting treatment from empanelled hospitals then there is full reimbursement of expenses as well as facility of cashless treatment and payments afterwards.
- Salary on Time - We get timely salary in between 25 to 31st of the month and it never crossed the deadline of 31st even for once. This is one of the best things because in many state government jobs salary gets accrued for months which makes it difficult for the employees to even pay for basic needs without taking loans.
There are many cons as well. That's an story for another day.
