| Hi Folks |
 |
“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” This is enshrined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Amongst several rights, today the right to not only seek and receive information but also the right not to receive |
| unnecessary and intrusive information seems to be equally important, as we observe December 10th as World Human Rights Day. |
| Well, this brings us to our own Lexspeak. While we have received some encouraging feedback from some of you over the last 3 years, a few have requested for ‘unsubscribe’ too. Readers’ Speak is a section we will introduce in our Resource Centre in sharadasc.com where you will find readers speak about Lexspeak. Rights and Responsibilities go hand in hand. We respect and honour your right to your space and time and shall discharge our responsibility to make Lexspeak worth it. As Robert Ingersoll said “Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.” |

| 3 media reports about the Employee Provident Fund Scheme – one is a change in PF Rules, that is against worker’s interests, another is the introduction of electronic Pass Book System which gives real time account details to employees and third is a change in the base amount qualifying for PF deductions which now includes a lot more components of salary resulting in lesser take home pay for employees. We are yet to lay our hands on the source notification / circular.
However, the latest breaking news is government is likely to put on hold implementation of the clubbing of allowances with basic wages for computing PF contribution.Status quo is maintained. |
