Who can receive a reward for meritorious service under the Act?

Under the PERA Force Laws, the provision for rewarding meritorious service is designed to recognize and encourage exceptional performance among all personnel within the Authority. According to this provision, any employee of the Authority—regardless of their rank, designation, or post—may be considered eligible for such a reward. This inclusiveness ensures that every staff member has equal motivation to perform with dedication, integrity, and efficiency.

The concept of meritorious service under the Act refers to actions or conduct that go above normal duty requirements, such as notable contributions in enforcement operations, outstanding public service, or effective implementation of Authority directives. By allowing rewards to be granted to any employee rather than restricting them to officers, the law promotes fairness and cultivates a performance-driven culture.

This approach aligns with Sectional objectives of the PERA Force Laws, which emphasize accountability, discipline, and merit-based recognition. The reward for meritorious service is thus not merely an incentive—it is a legal acknowledgment of employees’ role in upholding the Authority’s standards. Through this mechanism, the Act ensures morale remains high and efficiency within the Enforcement Stations continues to improve, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the regulatory framework.
