Non-Practice Allowance is an incentive and compensation to officers for the loss of earnings they forego while actively practicing in the medical facilities and that is the rationale behind including the same in our CBA as a negotiable item.
NPA was one of the allowances that were put in place to address discrimination and demotivation, and for SRC to release retrogressive guidelines and advice to our employers with a view to abolish doctors’ contractual earnings and remuneration unilaterally through a non-consultative means is unacceptable!
We reject and oppose the said guidelines and policies for their repugnant, non-considerate ill intention. Abolishing the said allowances shall remain the severest infringement and threat to employment rights and breach of employment contracts.
