MANAGEMENT SERVICES WING

Management of Surplus Pool

In terms of Section 11(2) of the Civil Servants Act, 1973, the services of civil servants can be terminated on abolition of posts. However, the government, on human consideration, decided not to terminate the services of employees declared surplus by the Ministries/Divisions/Departments. They are enlisted in the Surplus Pool of Establishment Division for absorption against vacant posts in other Ministries/Divisions/Departments. The surplus pool is functioning since 1993. The surplus employees are dealt in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Establishment Division on 9^th October, 2001 (with the approval of the then Chief Executive) and directive of the then Prime Minister circulated by the Establishment Division in April, 2003. Policies & Procedures for management of surplus pool are linked here.
