Thiruvananthapuram: The Finance Department directed the heads of government departments to terminate employees who continue on long leave without permission. This was directed as the leave without pay (LWOP) was reduced from 20 years to five years.
The Finance Department issued the guidelines in this regard. The curbing of LWOP is valid from November 5, 2020. Those who apply for leave after this date will not be allowed leave for more than five years. Those who fail to report for duty after five years will be terminated.
Currently, LWOP was allowed upto 20 years for five years at one phase. The LWOP was allotted for engaging in better job in native place or abroad, or staying with partner. The employees have to apply for extending leave after each phase.
With the new directive, the applications filed after November 5, 2020 for extending leave will be rejected. They also will be terminated if they do not report for duty after the leave ends.
It has been directed that those who applied for extending leave before the law came into force should be allotted only based on eligibility. If they have signed contract with employer, they have to apply along with copy of the contract.
The finance department’s approval and department head’s recommendations are required for allotting leave. Curbing LWOP was a suggestion put forward by the expert committee headed by former chief secretary Dr K M Abraham for reducing expenses.
