Dear Dr. Majumdar,
as regards (2), if situation demands, leave sanctioning authority sanctions such leave on the basis of two applications as you said. There should not be any constrain for that.
I have seen from my work experience, that many of the employees who have ‘deposited’ 300 Earned Leave in their Leave Account, takes leave with almost least important reason (mainly for the background reason that the extra 15 days E.L. will lapse in the next six months) by applying for leave maintaining the timeline making the leave counted as ‘authorized’ where as an employee taking leave with a short notice, or without being capable to give prior notice due to emergencies beyond the control of the employee like sudden serious illness of family member(s), such leave is counted as ‘unauthorized’ due to non-compliance with norms. Hence, there is nothing specifically mentioned in rules as regards ‘authorized’ and ‘unauthorized’ leave, I feel, the leave sanctioning authority in the local administration may be liberal towards judging the case.
Dear Mr. Ray,
I agree with you. In fact, in contrary to the actual operation of Leave Rule (taking Leave is not a right) it has become very liberal in relaxation of rule. I have seen few women employees applying for CCL when asked for some additional (!) assignments. Obviously, it can be taken for granted that leave is granted! :p
With regards.
Dear Dr. Majumdar,
This is the problem for which you have to retreat from doing something good. There are always some people who do not know how to use liberty and as a result, the good people suffer.
Regards.
