বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র
To give full effect to the proposals made above, it is necessary to replace the present multitude of classes and different categories of services and their separate career structures by the creation of a classless uniformly graded structure. The basis of the system that is proposed is the establishment of a number of successive grading levels that together will embrace all the jobs in the Service. Each grade will carry a range of pay. The number of grades required can be determined only after a more detailed examination of the existing structure and detailed examination of the structure, it is hardly necessary to point out, is not possible at the moment.
All the jobs now performed by the many different services and classes of services should be filled into the appropriate grade. This will require careful job analysis and evaluation. This should be based on such factors as the “end-results" required, the degree of personnel responsibility involved, the importance attaching to the work and the qualifications and experience needed in the holder to achieve the prescribed results. At the same time the process of job evaluation should take into account the market rate for jobs of similar responsibilities outside the service.
Senior Policy and Management Group
Within this overall structure, there will, of course, continue to be a great variety of groups of staff. At the highest levels of the service, it is useful to distinguish top management, comprising all top posts in all grades from Secretary down to the Deputy Secretary, and including all grades that are equivalent to Deputy Secretary. This may be called the senior policy and management group. In other words all the Class I posts in the Bangladesh Administrative Service (the C. S. P., Central Superior Services, Members of the Provincial Services, Class I after their unification into a single unified grading structure) may be divided into three groups or levels, such as the senior, middle and junior. Each group or level may be divided into three grades and, in all, there will be nine grades in there three levels. The progress of an officer among the grades within each level should be on the basis of proved performance and competence, Promotions from the junior to the middle levels and from the middle to the senior level will be by selection on the basis of demonstrated ability, competence, and honesty. Honesty should be given its due importance, along with other factors. There will be direct recruitment to the junior level. The unified civil service may be divided into the following professional groups- economic administration, industrial administration, agricultural and rural development administrational, social and educational administration, personnel administration, defense administration and internal security, and planning. They will be trained accordingly at the appropriate level. The need for professionalism in the Civil Service is discussed below. Below is attached an illustrative chart of 9 pay scales into which the existing class I scales can conceivably be fitted in. Some examples of the posts which can be filled into the grades are also given, I would like to emphasize that the details in the annexure given only by way of illustration. A more detailed and elaborate examination will be necessary for the purpose of determining the grades as well as the posts to which they should be attached. All the post under the government can, I think, be brought into a framework of 20 to 25 grades. Each grade will carry a range of pay.
