Karnataka: Health department to provide bonus, incentive to EMTs and pilots

Bengaluru: The Health Department will pay experience- and performance-based bonus to the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) and pilots working for the 108 Arogya Kavacha ambulances. 

Two percent bonus will be paid every year while 10% incentive will be paid as a performance bonus.

As the health department is completely taking over the 108 services, the employees who are already employed with the 108 services will be given importance and retained. 

The pilots should have completed SSLC at the minimum and EMTs should be a graduate with BSc nursing with EMT course. The call center positions will be filled on the contract basis, the order said.
