No Jab certificate, no salary in Punjab

Chandigarh: The Punjab Government on Wednesday has imposed a ‘No Jab No Salary’ policy for government employees to promote vaccination amid the Omicron surge.

One can be fully vaccinated or have taken a single dose, but they will have to upload the certificates on the Punjab government’s job portal if they want their salary.

The government order, however, does not mention what it intends to do about employees who aren’t vaccinated yet.

The vaccination certificates have to be uploaded on the Punjab government’s iHRMS website, short for Integrated Human Resource Management System. The software streamlines salary payment and retirement benefit withdrawals.
