THE topic has already got elaborate discussion yet a little confusion remains in “in proportionate to” especially for newly appointed teachers(e.g. the case of my friend who faced the problem)[SORRY IF I’VE MISUNDERSTOOD] so I request for conclusive discussion from everybody including WBXPRESS,Mr BIKU,Mr A.B.PAL.
THANKS TO ALL…
Dear friend,
There is no explanation about it. It is totally depends on leave sanctioning authority.I think you know very well ” in proportionate to” means if you serve 365 days you may enjoy 14 c.l. served 1 month may enjoy14/12=1.16=1C.l,if served 5 month, may enjoy ( 14/12)x5= 5.83=6 C.L like this.
As per 453-SE(PRY) dated. 4.5.1999:-
Casual leave- ” Casual leave for short period may be granted as the discretion of the sanctioning authority to a teacher on full pay for not more than 14 days during a calender year but it shall not entail an absence more then 7 consecutive days at a time, including Sundays and /or holidays, except under very special circumstances to be recorded in written.
Provided that Sundays and/ or holidays preceding, following or intervening any period of casual leave shall not be counted as part of such leave”
I expect now I have reached near you. thank you so much.
He joined on 16.01.2010 i.e. in the academic year May, 2009 to February, 2010 (10 months) for which no of CL = 12 days.
At the end of February the teacher could have enjoyed 1 day CL (calculating on proportionate basis and rounded off to nearest digit i.e. 1.38==1).
So, application for 3 days CL is not granted. Only 1 day could have been considered as CL and 2 days could have been Leave Without Pay. This should be the actual procedure as per existing Govt. rules.
Now it was the responsibility of the Head Teacher concerned to act as per Govt. rule. So, there is no fault of the employee himself. I think there will be no problem in future. Head Teacher should destroy the record of 2 days absence for his own sake.
I stand still with it. New G.O. is not yet published. However, if it comes out it probably would not be applicable for the above mentioned leave period i.e. January 2010. As per existing G.O. 1 day CL & 2 days EOL (Extra Ordinary Leave i.e. Leave without Pay) should be granted.
