Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) has exempted construction companies hailing from categories C-2 to C-6 from hiring the services of apprentice engineers putting an end to a complaint of the construction companies that hiring of apprentice engineers is an extra financial burden on them.
Exemption was given in the Governing Body meeting of the Pakistan Engineering Council recently, after a long struggle by the Construction Association of Pakistan (CAP), which reviewed the issue being faced by the construction industry due to the condition and its financial impact on companies. The governing body meeting approved to give exemption to C-2 to C-6 categories construction companies.
The Chairman Constructors Association of Pakistan (CAP) Engr Sikandar Hayat Khattak congratulated the Association members in a statement issued here Tuesday. He said that the PEC Governing Body has also approved that the companies in C-A category would hire 3 engineers, C-B will hire 2 engineers and C-1 Category Company will acquire services of only one engineer.
On the issue of demand of higher salaries, CAP chairman said that the Apprentice Engineers will be Rs 20,000/- per Month. If any engineer demand higher, that may be reported to Chairman PEC with the name and PEC number for taking necessary action, he added. "If any constructor doesn't fined apprentice engineers in the market, he may write to the PEC about their projects and demand the Apprentice Engineers for appointment and inform CAP office for facilitation," he added.
