Temporary recruitment of 962 office assistants for 481 upazila parishads, out of a total of 487 upazilas, received the final approval from the local government division.
The local government division sent letters describing the terms and conditions of recruiting the new staff to all the upazilas across the country last week.
The letter, signed by division’s Deputy Secretary Sabur Hossain, also said six newly formed upazilas would not be allowed to recruit the new staff. The new upazilas are – Bijoynagar of Brahminbaria, Kalukhali of Rajbari, Rangabali of Patuakhali, Taltoli of Barguna, Tarakanda of Mymensingh, and Naldanga of Natore.
The ministry officials said further approval would be needed for the new upazilas to recruit office assistants.
According to the letter and ministry officials, the new staff would be recruited temporarily against 962 approved revenue posts in 481 upazilas. Each of the upazilas would get two office aides.
This appointment of the temporary office aides would be cancelled once the permanent recruitment of the new staff was completed.
The office help would be recruited following the salary structure of the national pay scale, 2009.
The upazila parishads were instructed to recruit the new staff within six months of the approval.
