Addressing the representatives of SSA employees union, who called on here, he said these contractual employees have been rendering services for the last 19 years but it was the present state government which acknowledged their contribution and gave them regular pay scale besides other benefits.
The pay scale on a par with that of regular employees has been given to those contractual employees who are associated with SSA for five years, he said.
Besides, they have been given annual hike of five per cent.
Apart from this, they would get Dearness Allowance as per government rules, he added.
