Employees already serving as officers on the effective date of the revised pay structure did not receive the revised workmen's scale or intervening arrears, and their fitment amount offset that disadvantage. Employees placed in the officers' grade later received those workmen's-scale benefits before placement. Extending the same fitment amount to them would create a double advantage and reverse discrimination against senior officers. Paragraph 5.3 of the office memorandum is therefore valid. en-us Fri, 23 Aug 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 11 Aug 2026 14:53:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=470845 Differential pay fixation for Junior Foremen placed in the officers' grade before and after 1 January 1987 is consistent with Article 14 because the two groups were not similarly situated.
