Provincial EST v/s Federal SST in FGEI
It is highly recommended to read the post to the end, as based on this same post, I will outline the detailed and in-depth analysis and comparison to both scales (EST vs. SST jobs 2021) so that people can easily make up their minds on their professional teaching career within the public sector.
Initially, I will express my opinion in favor of the Federal SST, and later I will outline and highlight my positive views on the Provincial EST.
How the Federal SST is better than Provincial EST?
To identify the detailed and in-depth analysis concerning a better choice between Federal SST Jobs Vs Provincial EST Jobs 2021, below are the details which will clearly show that the Federal SST is better than Provincial EST.
The following are the major points concerning the same agenda.
Scale:
Provincial Government as per the service EST scale is 15 whereas in the case of Federal Government SST scale, it is 17, thus indicating that the Federal SST is better than Provincial EST.
Salary structure:
In Provincial Government the initial or starting salary as per the EST is around 28000 PKR whereas in Federal Government the initial or starting salary as per SST is around 45000 PKR. So bearing in mind, the salary structure in the Federal SST is better than Provincial EST.
Transfer or Posting during Jobs:
In the Provincial Government as per the EST criteria service which is based on three-year contract and followed by the permanent status, the employee can never add or calculate the previous three years of contract service within the permanent service, however, in the Federal SST service criteria 2021, from the very first day of the job start, the duration served is counted along with the permanent service. Therefore, it is evident that the Federal SST is better than the Provincial EST.
Time scale:
An employee can have the opportunity of climbing the career ladder in the next scale, after the completion of his or her 5 years within the service as per the criteria of the Federal SST as in comparison to the Provincial Government EST where there is no time scale available in the Provincial EST for the promotion time frame.
Therefore, Federal Government SST Job 2021 is better than the Provincial Government EST in regards to time frame promotion opportunities.
Accommodation Hiring Allowance:
In the Federal Government SST, an employee can attain Accommodation Hiring Allowance which is up to 25000 PKR per month whereas, in the Provincial Government EST, such kind of facility and concept are not in place.
Status:
As an employee of the Federal SST due to the service scale i.e. 17, considers as an officer whereas in the case of Provincial EST, an employee cannot attain such a status because of the service scale i.e. 15 as per the criteria.
How the Provincial EST is better than Federal SST?
The following will outline how the provincial EST is better than Federal SST. Below are the mentioned points which are in favor of the Provincial Government EST Jobs 2021.
Away from Home:
An employee of the Provincial Government EST throughout his or her service career delivers his or her services in the nearest stations. Whereas However, those who are in the Federal SST need to travel across Pakistan including the deprived areas such as Khuzdar, Sibbi, and Skardu.
Therefore by keeping this factor in perspective, it is easy to understand that Provincial Government EST is a better choice than the Federal Government SST.
Food and Accommodation issues:
Being an employee in the Provincial EST provided the facility of working nearest to home for service stations. That’s the reason why there is no issue regarding food and accommodation. On the other hand, an employee in the Federal Government SST needs to face issues concerning food and accommodation because of frequent commuting, far away service stations, and bearing own responsibilities regarding food and accommodation.
Better facilitation in the Provincial Government EST:
An employee in the Provincial Government EST 2021 enjoys maximum facilitation concerning the facilities provided as compared to the Federal Government SST. The facilities offer to the employee in the Provincial Government EST include online holidays, online retirement, online transfer and postings. Nevertheless in the Federal Government SST, employees cannot access such kinds of facilities throughout his or her service career.
Transfer or Posting:
An employee in the Provincial Government EST can easily apply online for transfer or posting, and ultimately can attain the direct transfer or post from one place to another by applying online as compared to an employee in Federal Government SST whereby the transfer of the posting is not an easy and smooth process for those employees.
Working Environment:
Employees in the Provincial Government EST normally offer their services within the flexible working environment even in case of any mistakes made by an employee and has scope to be eliminated or rectified by the cooperation.
Contrarily, the employees of the Federal Government SST have to adhere to the strict rules and regulations stated by the FGEI, and in case of any breaches of rules or set standards, regulations; the employees in the Federal SST can face serious consequences.
Promotion:
Although there are some rules as per the Provincial EST and Federal SST concerning the promotion, it is a fact that the promotion in the Provincial Government EST is quite easy compared to the Federal Government SST.
The promotion opportunity in the Federal Government SST normally stays pending for years unlike the Provincial Government EST which made it a better choice than the Federal Government SST.
M. Phil Allowance:
An employee in the Provincial Government EST in regards to M.Phil holder. Or M.S is eligible to have an additional Allowance of 5000 PKR; however, an employee in the Federal Government SST is only eligible to acquire a 2500 PKR allowance only in case the employee is an M.Phil holder. There is no concept of additional allowance for the employee who is M.S degree holder in Federal Government SST.
Conclusion:
In a nutshell, I did my best deliver to outline in-depth compare, and analyze the services provided by the Provincial Government EST and the Federal Government SST Jobs 2021.
