Furthermore, the Weather Allowance shall not be admissible to the employees working in the vacation departments in all categorized Weather Areas except class-IV on duty during the admissible period. Consequent upon above, the admissibility of Hot & Cold Weather Charges and Firewood Allowance shall stand discontinued forthwith.
All Autonomous/Semi-autonomous/Medical Teaching Institutions/Other Institutions and Authorities under Provincial Government shall adopt this notification within their respective organizations with the approval of their Competent Forum within their available resources. This allowance is the amount of money that civil servants, pensioners, and other government officials are entitled to as a part of their salary if they work in regions with extreme climate conditions. In Pakistan, the provincial governments have been tasked with assessing whether salaries should be increased for those working in these areas and how much adjustment would be needed.
