As per The PTI report, the Goa government has announced a one-time financial incentive aimed at recognising long-term service in the private sector, as part of its Labour Day initiatives.
Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said the state will provide a one-time incentive of ₹15,000 to individuals who have completed over 20 years of service in private sector jobs.
The announcement was made during a Labour Day event, where select employees were also felicitated for their long-standing contributions.
Eligible beneficiaries include workers who have completed at least two decades of continuous service in private employment.
Applications for the incentive can be submitted either by employers or by the workers themselves through the Labour Welfare Department, along with proof of service.
The Chief Minister also encouraged job seekers to consider opportunities in the private sector, highlighting that such roles can offer competitive compensation and growth prospects compared to traditional preferences for government jobs.
Highlighting the role of workers, the government acknowledged their contribution to infrastructure development and economic progress.
Officials noted that around 1.4 lakh labourers are currently registered under the state’s Labour Welfare framework, making them potential beneficiaries of welfare schemes.
The government has urged private companies to ensure that their workforce is registered with the Labour Welfare Department, which would help extend the benefits of welfare initiatives to a larger number of workers.
The initiative reflects Goa’s effort to recognise long-term private sector employment while promoting broader participation in labour welfare schemes.
