DADU: The Sindh University administration has warned that it will withhold salaries of the employees who will not get inoculated against coronavirus as per guidelines of Sindh government after the already announced deadline is over.
The university had advised all employees to get vaccinated before the deadline after receiving directives from chief minister regarding vaccination for all employees of the university.
The university had nominated Dr Farhan Zeb Khaskheli as focal person for the vaccination centre established on the campus to facilitate employees, many of whom, including faculty members and officers, had got themselves vaccinated while some had still not complied with the instructions, said SU spokesperson.
He said that SU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Mohammad Siddique Kalhoro had advised all the employees who had not yet had their jab to get vaccinated by the deadline and submit their vaccination cards to heads of their departments so that their monthly salaries for July 2021 might be released.
He said the heads of various sections and departments would submit a report through a prescribed pro forma to the focal person after the stipulated date for vaccination was over.
The focal person would submit the report to the VC and then it would be sent to chief secretary after his approval in compliance with the chief minister’s orders, he said.
The spokesperson clarified that the unvaccinated employees’ salaries for the month of July would be withheld in light of the chief minister’s directives if they were not able to get inoculated against the coronavirus in due course of time.
He said the vaccination centre would be working on Sunday as well, hence all the remaining employees were advised to make themselves and others safe by ensuring timely vaccination.
