Casual Civil Employees in the Army to be Made Permanent


Sri Lanka Army’s Directorate of Civil Administration, on a directive given by the Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Daya Ratnayake, has taken steps to absorb a total of about 3000 civil employees in the Army into the permanent cadre to be in line with the budget proposals - 2015, submitted by the President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Under the scheme, those civil employees who have joined before 28 April 2014 on casual or contract basis and completed a 180-day period of satisfactory service in the Sri Lanka Army, are thus entitled to receive job permanence, in accordance with the administrative circular No 25/2014 of the Ministry of Public Administration, issued on 12 Nov 2014.

Interviews to this effect are now in progress at the Colombo head office of the Directorate of Civil Administration, branch offices in Jaffna, Kilinochchi, Mullaittivu, Anuradhapura, Minneriya and Diyatalawa until 21 Dec 2014 under separate interview boards, chaired by Mr Gamini Mahagamage, Director, Directorate of Civil Administration.
