Govt Mandates Digital Service Books for Employees
Imagine every government employee has a special book that keeps track of everything that happens during their job, from when they start working to when they retire.
This book has all the important details.
The government wants to make these books digital.
Instead of paper books, they'll use computers to store the information.
This way, it's easier to keep track of everything and find the information quickly.
The new digital books will have all the important dates, promotions, and everything else about an employee's work life.
This change will make it simpler for the government to manage employee records.
Central government departments are instructed to digitize employee service records.
The Personnel Ministry issued the directive to phase out physical service books.
Service books document an employee's entire career history.
The digital format aims to modernize record-keeping processes.
Digital service books will record administrative actions from recruitment to retirement.
