Teachers’ unions in Madhya Pradesh have opposed the state government’s plan to link e‑attendance to salary, warning that a software glitch could cut their pay and threatening a statewide boycott by uninstalling the app.
Teachers’ unions in Madhya Pradesh have publicly opposed the state government’s proposal to tie e‑attendance records to salary payments. The unions argue that network and server problems could lead to erroneous attendance entries, risking salary deductions for teachers.
In response, the unions have announced that they will uninstall the e‑attendance app from all teacher devices and are warning of a possible statewide boycott if the policy is implemented without safeguards. The move follows concerns that a single app error could trigger mass salary cuts.
The government had earlier indicated that the new system would streamline payroll and reduce fraud, but teachers fear that technical glitches could disproportionately affect their income. The unions have called for a thorough audit of the software before any linkage is made.
Amar Ujala reported the unions’ stance from Bhopal, noting that the protest could disrupt teaching activities across the state if the boycott materializes.
