NIC Punjab State Unit has developed a software to assist the Pay Anomalies Committee for sorting out the anomalies in Pay scales after the revision of pay scales by the Government of Punjab. The software, being extensively used by the committee has helped in comparing the Pay scales of a particular post in various Departments considering the details like eligible qualification, Feeder post, Promotional Post, Pay scales approved by previous pay commissions. The software has provision for recording expectations of the employees for each post and comments of the departments. Two different posts within the same department can also be compared so as to assist resolving of Intra-departmental anomalies.
Using this software, Government of Punjab has gathered information about sanctioned posts and their pay scales along with related fields for all the departments. This database on Pay scales will be put on State Government Intranet.
The software has been developed in GUI environment. The data entry module is developed using Visual Foxpro (Windows 95/98) as well as foxplus (SCO Unix in multiuser environment). The generalized query has been prepared in visual basic 5.0 with UDB as well as SQL Servers as backend.
