Sub: Unilateral decision to revise the Order on Child Care Leave (CCL)
Sir,
NFAEE appreciated the recommendation of the 6th CPC as well as its acceptance by the Government of CHILD CARE LEAVE (CCL) for 2 Years to the women employees to take care of their children. The Government orders granting this leave including the Performa to be maintained were promptly issued. All in general and the women employees in particular were happy.
Suddenly the DOPT issued another dated 18.11.2008 in the name of clarification as references have been received from various sections regarding the procedure for grant of this leave etc. In the name of the clarification DoPT added a condition that CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave at her credit.
By virtually canceling its earlier orders of grant of CCL by putting a stringent condition that the CCL is permissible only to those women employees who completely exhausted her EL and no EL is at credit of her leave account. This is very retrograde stand taken by the Government even it is in the name of not allowing disruption of the functioning of offices.
The net effect of this revised order is that no women employee will be able to avail this leave if their EL account becomes ZERO. Thus there is no need for granting the ordered Child Care Leave to women employees anymore! If this is the approach of the Government, the whole central government employees especially women employees show their dissentient/ protest strongly against anti women employees attitude of the Government.
The recommendation by SCPC was all women employees having minor children may be allowed total leave of upto two years (730 days) for taking care of upto 2 children whether for rearing the children or looking after any of their needs like examination, sickness, etc. (para 4.7.5 (ii)). While accepting the said recommendation Government ha snot been modified the said recommendation.
Even if any reference has been made by any department regarding the procedure to be adopted for sanctioning the leave, then the clarification shall be the regarding procedure to be adopted for availing the leave etc. But in the name of clarification how the content of the Office Memorandum can be modified
Under this circumstance we humbly request you to intervene and give necessary instructions to the officer concerned to immediately withdraw the conditions stipulated to grant the CCL.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
(Jayaraj.K.V)
Secretary General
