EMPHASIZES BETTER COORDINATION AND SIMPLIFICATION OF PROCEDURES FOR REGISTRATION OF WORKERS & DISPOSAL OF COMPLAINTS.
The Federal Ombudsman Mr. Ejaz Ahmad Qureshi has directed Chairman EOBI to take action against the employers who default in getting their workers duly registered and do not send their contribution to the EOBI despite being a requirement under the law. Taking suo motu action on complaints of non-registration of workers by EOBI, the Federal Ombudsman summoned Chairman EOBI and Secretary Overseas Pakistanis for hearing. He asked Chairman EOBI to ensure formulation of a well-structured mechanism to ensure registration of employees by employers under the EOBI Act, 1976 and also to take measures for efficient administration and coordination between EOBI and registrable employers. He called the Chairman EOBI to his office on 9th February, 2022 to inform that poor people were running from pillar to post to get their pension. He asked the Chairman to take extra care in the resolution of grievances of these poor people as they only get Rs.8000/- as pension.
