Punjab government employees won’t get their salary if they don’t give their vaccination certificate, the state government said in a statement today. One can be fully vaccinated or have taken a single dose, but they will have to upload the certificates on the Punjab government’s job portal if they want their salary.
The Union health ministry on Wednesday morning said the Omicron infection tally has reached 213 across the country. However, out of the total Omicron positive cases, 90 have been discharged. So far 15 states have reported Omicron cases, said the ministry. At 57, Delhi has the highest cases of Omicron infection followed by Maharashtra with 54 cases, said the ministry report.
- The vaccination certificates have to be uploaded on the Punjab government’s HRMS website.
- The pay is credited automatically only to the account of an employee’s designated bank account.
- The country has so far reported over 210 cases of Omicron variant infection.
The government order, however, does not mention what it intends to do about employees who aren’t vaccinated. Punjab’s rather strict policy to push people to vaccinate themselves comes at a time when there are big concerns over the Omicron strain of coronavirus, known to be highly transmissible. The vaccination certificates have to be uploaded on the Punjab government’s HRMS website, short for Integrated Human Resource Management System. The software streamlines salary payment and retirement benefit withdrawals.

The pay is credited automatically only to the account of an employee’s designated bank account, preventing fraud in salary distribution. The country has so far reported over 210 cases of Omicron variant infection. Ninety people have recovered, the Health Ministry said today. The ministry data updated at 8 am said India reported 6,317 new coronavirus infections. Also, Amid the Omicron threat, the states have been asked to ‘activate war rooms and keep analyzing all trends and surges, no matter how small, and keep taking proactive measures at the district or local level’.
