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.

Kejriwal announces anti-corruption helpline

Kejriwal announces anti-corruption helpline

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday announced a helpline, which he said will help trap government employees who demand bribes.

Mr. Kejriwal told the media that anyone who is asked to pay a bribe by any official in the capital should seek help on 2735 7169.

“This is a helpline number, not a complaint number,” he said.

Once the details of the complainant is taken down, the anti-corruption wing of the Delhi administration will explain how to do a sting operation vis-a-vis the corrupt using the recording device of one’s mobile phone.

“The idea is to inject fear among bribe seekers,” Mr. Kejriwal said. “Now an officer demanding bribe won’t know if you are recording him on your mobile phone or not.”

The vigilance department has deployed a sufficient number of employees for this task, the chief minister said. If necessary, Delhi Police personnel would also chip in, he added.

“Every citizen is now an anti-corruption crusader (in Delhi),” he said.

The helpline would function from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Mr. Kejriwal had announced after taking oath Dec 28 that he would announce a helpline soon to trap bribe takers.

He said the project got delayed as he found the anti-corruption department was badly understaffed.
