Now, 20-day earned leave every year for central govt employees a must
The
Centre has decided that all its permanent employees must take at least 20 days
of earned
leave every year, instead of hoarding them
up
for encashment at the time of retirement.
The
government-run banks have already begun to send their employees on a block of
ten days leave from late 2018. The measure, announced in several banks in
October, had surprised the employees.
It’s
now time for the other central
government employees to face a new leave ethic. The move is meant to
improve the health of the employees, so they judiciously mix leisure with work.
Central
government employees have generous leave allowances. They are entitled to a block of
30 days paid leave each year (for defence employees it is 60 days). This is in
addition to their ten casual leave and 19 notified holidays every year.
However, few employees use their earned leave, and add their one or two days of
leave to the weekends for a long break. Casual leaves cannot be accumulated. Read
