Chandigarh, June 26 :
Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini here today approved amendments to the Haryana Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 2016, introducing provisions for granting Compensatory Leave to regular Group C and Group D employees.
As per the amendment, a new Rule 77A has been inserted, which provides that regular Group C and Group D employees will be entitled to compensatory leave if they perform official duties on a notified holiday. This compensatory leave must be availed within one month of the duty performed, failing which it will lapse.
The leave can be taken in conjunction with connected holidays and station leave; however, the total leave spell shall not exceed 16 days under any circumstances. If an employee applies for compensatory leave within the one-month period and the sanctioning authority refuses the request, the leave can be availed within next 15 days; otherwise, the leave shall deemed to be lapsed.
In addition, compensatory leave will not be granted if a financial incentive has been or is proposed to be provided for the same day.
