‘PTCL’s VSS scheme voluntary’

ISLAMABAD: The Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) offered by the PTCL is purely voluntary in nature and does not force any employee to leave the company.

Minister for Information Technology and Telecom Dr. Abdullalh Riar stated this while reiterating that the decision of Cabinet Committee on Privatisation and PTCL Board of Directors is very clear in this regard.

The Minister emphasized that the government is fully cognisant of PTCL’s employees concerns regarding the scheme, and the aim of VSS is to offer an attractive scheme to employees and at the same time, to help improve its operational efficiency.

Accordingly, he said that the scheme would offer attractive package to the employees and it would be ensured that the PTCL management inculcates confidence amongst the employees regarding the benefits of the scheme and its voluntary nature. He further said that the PTCL employees would be guided through workshops on safe and secure investment opportunities.
