CHILD CARE LEAVE to Central Government Female Employees


CHILD CARE LEAVE 

Introduction of child care leave in respect of Central Government employees as per recommeded in the sixth Central Pay Commission, women employees having minor children may be granted CCL by an authority competent to grant leave for a maximum period of 730 days during their enitre service for taking care of up to two children, whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like examination, scikness etc. Hence Earned Leave availed specifically for this purpose only should be converted. Child Care Leave shall not be admissible if the child is eighteen years of age or older.

On recommendations of sixth pay commission, the CCL was announced to help women employees to take better care of their children and family. But the privilege backfired to several central government departments being like a hill with applications from women employees for CCL. After consideration of all the views, Dopt declared, 'CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave in her account. Those who have already taken the CCL will either have to return to office or part with their accumulated with Earned Leave'.

In further, Dopt orders said that "CCL cannot be demanded as a matter of right. Under no circumstances can any employee proceed on CCL without prior proper approval of the leave by the leave sanctioning authority. The leave is to be treated like the Earned Leave and sanctioned as such. Consequently, Saturdays, Sundays, Gazetted holidays etc. falling during the period of leave would also count for CCL, as in the case of Earned Leave. CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave at her credit.

and also instrcuted as "CCL may not be granted in more than 3 spells in a calendar year. CCL may not be granted for less than 15 days. CCL should not ordinarily be granted during the probation period except in case of certain extreme situations where the leave sanctioning authority is fully satisfied about the need of Child Care Leave to the probationer. It may also be ensured that the period for which this leave is sanctioned during probation is minimal.

Grant of Child Care Leave - Woman employees cannot demand as a matter of right-Clarification



GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS / RAIL MANTRALAYA 
(RAILWAY BOARD)
No. E(P&A)I-2012/CPC/LE-5
New Delhi, dated 17.12.2012
The General Secretary, NFIR,
3, Chelmsford Road, New Delhi – 110055.

Dear Sir

Sub: Grant of Child Care Leave without any reason.

The undersigned is directed to refer to your letter No. 1/5(f) dated 14.11.2012 and to state that as per the extant instructions contained in Board’s letter dated 23.10.2008 and 12.12.2008, woman railway employees having minor children may be granted Child Care Leave by an authority competent to grant leave for a maximum period of two years (i.e.730 days) during their entire service for taking care of upto two children whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like examination, sickness etc. and that Child Care Leave cannot be demanded as a matter of right.

Therefore, in order to enable the competent authority to decide on the application for CCL, reasons have to be mentioned and this condition cannot be dispensed with. Moreover, DOP&T has issued instructions in this regard which have been adopted in toto for the female railway employees. In the circumstances, Ministry of Railways also cannot unilaterally alter the purpose for which Child Care Leave is introduced to female railway employees.

In light of this, the demand is not feasible for acceptance.

Yours faithfully 
sd/-
for Secretary, Railway Board.

Pending amendment to the Leave Rules, some administrative instructions were issued vide this Department’s Office Memorandum No. 21011/12/79-Allowances, dated the 16th November, 1979 and No. 19011/30/81-Allowances, dated the 13th October, 1981 (not printed).

The transit time thus admissible shall be the actual number of days taken in the journey by sea subject to a maximum of seven days for each journey.
   (iv) Where the outward journey falls in one calendar year and the return journey falls in the succeeding calendar year, the concession shall be counted against the calendar year in which the leave commences. In calculating transit time, holidays falling before or at the end of it shall be excluded while those falling during transit time shall be included.
   (v) A Government servant domiciled in the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar islands or the Union Territory of Lakshadweep and recruited for service in the respective territory, when posted for service on mainland in public interest shall be entitled joining time, once a year, while proceeding to and returning from the Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar islands and Lakshadweep on leave.
