SALARY HIKE

“Congratulations, your name is in the Computer.”
“Thanks a lot, but it doesn’t matter as my name is there from last 7 years.”
I am talking about the absurd hike in DGH doctors’ salary. I call it absurd because the conditions for the hike are like this:
• If you are doing procedure ‘A’ – the hike is 70%
• If you are doing procedure ‘B’ – the hike is 50%
• But if in your specialty those procedures are not included – there will be no hike.
• Also if you have done procedure ‘A’ even 10 years back and only once in your life – your salary will be increased.
• But even if you are a specialist and have a very good knowledge and experience of that procedure but due to lack of such type of patient, you are unable to do these procedures – there will be no salary hike for you.
One more thing, in DGH there is no automatic salary hike. Doctors have to submit their documents along with the application for salary hike if they want it (it is because some may not want any increase in their salary and our hospital doesn’t want to go against their employees’ will.)
