Worried About Job Security? What Happens to Ad Hoc Staff When Government Takes Over?

Mandeep Saroa
Hello everyone. I want to know if, when the government overtakes a private organization, what the requirements are to become a permanent employee. For example, I am working as a lecturer in a private college on an ad hoc basis. They release us every year and then reconduct the interview annually through advertising in newspapers. I have been working there since 2012. Everyone is saying that the regular employees will become permanent in a government college too.

However, those of us on an ad hoc basis are worried about our job security. Will they expel us and hire new staff, or will they continue with us? We are unsure of the rules. Can you please clarify?

Thanks

When an educational institution is acquired or taken over by the government, it becomes a government institution. Therefore, all existing rules applicable to government educational institutions, including the service rules relating to appointment, probation, confirmation, etc., of the teaching and non-teaching staff, would become automatically applicable.

Government employment is strictly governed by specific rules relating to recruitment, appointment based on cadre strength rules, and communal reservation by rotation. Therefore, it is not necessary to continue the services of contractual or temporary employees appointed earlier by the private management.
