According to the details, the FBR has issued an official notification outlining the formation of two sub-groups for the set purpose following a consultative meeting focused on the ‘Restructuring and Revitalization of PRAL’. The first sub-group’s mandate is to assess PRAL’s existing workforce comprehensively.
This evaluation includes analysing the current workforce structure, including skill sets, roles, and responsibilities. The sub-group will identify areas where right-sizing of the workforce is necessary and provide recommendations. Moreover, it will pinpoint any overstaffing or understaffing concerns and align the workforce with PRAL’s strategic objectives.
The second sub-group has been tasked with reviewing PRAL’s revenue and expenditure. This assessment will focus on aligning financial allocations with the company’s strategic goals and ensuring fiscal stability. The sub-group will identify expenditures that do not align with PRAL’s designated functions and evaluate the appropriateness of the current pay structure in relation to employees’ roles and responsibilities.
Both sub-groups are also entrusted with the responsibility of suggesting revisions to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the ongoing fiscal year and addressing pending payments under the SLA between PRAL and FBR from the previous year. These recommendations, encompassing all aspects of PRAL’s restructuring, are expected to be submitted to the office of the Chairman FBR within 15 days from the date of this notification, marking a significant step toward enhancing the efficiency and financial health of PRAL.
