HYDERABAD: Despite varsities directing technical colleges to clear salary dues, faculty said that most colleges are yet to pay their pending salaries or even start paying them full salaries.
They said that even now college managements are paying hardly 50% of salaries and are continuing to implement no work, no pay policy.
“The situation has not changed since the last year. We are still getting only 50% salaries. In fact, some are paid less than 50% of their salary,” said Telangana Technical Institutions Employees Association president, V Balakrishna Reddy. He added that the managements have not yet paid salary dues from last year.
The association said that managements are not using the services of all faculty members for online classes. “Only those who are taking online classes are being paid part of their salaries while the remaining are paid nothing,” Balakrishna added. When it comes to newly joined staff, TTIEA members informed that they are being told beforehand that they will only be paid a token amount — Rs 5000 to Rs 10, 000 — until colleges physically reopen. Only after colleges resume physical classes, will they be paid their full salary, they added.
