The financial losses the absenting workers have suffered in the form of PF, gratuity, pension, bonus, maternity benefits etc apart from wage loss & fringe benefits as a result of absenteeism were elaborately explained to these workers with examples jointly by management, ABITA & ACMS.
It is expected that the workshop will positively influence the workers to be more regular in work. Similar workshops were held in the recent past at Maud, Desam and Greenwood tea estates. Given the ill effects of absenteeism on the tea gardens and workforce, ABITA will continue to organise these awareness workshops in other estates in Brahmaputra valley in collaboration with ACMS.
