National Desk:
If you are a government employee, this news is for you. The government has formulated a new policy of holidays for employees. Under this, central employees will now get more leave than before. Central employees will now get 42 days of special casual leave for organ donation. The Official Memorandum (OM) issued by the DoPT states that donation of an organ by an employee is a major surgery. This takes time for hospitalization as well as recovery.
A maximum of 42 days special leave should be given to any employee for the purpose of helping any person and promoting organ donation among Central employees. The rules have also been fixed for this. Under the existing rules, a maximum of 30 days of casual leave is sanctioned in a calendar year. The new rules have come into effect from April 25, 2023.
The order will not apply to all employees under the CCS (Leave) Rules, the DoPT said in a memorandum. This rule is being applied to selected employees. It is learned that the new rules related to leave will not apply to railway employees, All India Services employees.
The maximum leave limit for surgery to remove the donor organ and subsequent recovery will be 42 days, the notification issued by the government said. For this, leave will be given only on the recommendation of the registered physician on behalf of the Government. Such leave can be availed one week before hospitalization.
