We are thankful to Railway Board for issuing instructions in the matter of treatment of absence during COVID-19 epidemic lockdown.

Many of the employees have had to remain away from their work, subsequent to the lockdown, whose absence is pending regularization. Many of the employees were forced to remain under quarantine due to various situations, which can be classified broadly as follows:-

(i) An employee was asked to remain in quarantine on return from outstation duty.
(ii) An employee remained in quarantine due to Central/ State Government instructions.
(iii) An employee was advised by Railway Medical Authority to remain in quarantine.
(iv) An employee who chose to remain in quarantine as a precaution.
(v) An employee who worked from home due to co-morbidity or underlying medical conditions as per Central/ State Government instructions.
(vi) An employee stayed at home as a precautionary measure and later found to be COVID-19 positive.

It is, therefore, requested that, necessary instructions for treating absence of an employee during aforementioned situations, as “Special Casual Leave”, may kindly be issued at the earliest. Orders issued for maximum 30 days “Special Casual Leave” should also be cancelled as these being granted in special circumstances of COVID-19 epidemic where lockdown had been for more than four months and all sorts of transport had not been under operation.

Sub: Treating the period of absence due to COVID-19 as “Special Casual Leave” – Reg.

Sir,

A number of COVID-19 cases among the Central Government employees are being reported every day. The staff are subjected to man to man transmission of the Corona virus during the course of performing duty or otherwise. COVID-19 Positive Central Government Employees are sent to either Home or Hospital Isolation and those come in contact are quarantined for 14 days. It is reported that, in these cases; the employees are being asked to apply for their own leave, which is not justified.

It may not be out of the context to mention here that, there has been a provision of Quarantine Leave in case of highly infectious diseases, This is a new disease and highly infectious with rapid transmission from man to man.

It is therefore requested to kindly cause necessary instructions to all Central Government

Departments to Grant Special Casual Leave or Quarantine leave as the case may be.

Hoping for a positive action,

With regards,
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,

Sub: Provision for granting Special Casual Leave for the Woman employees (45 years of age and above) working in the Central Government Organizations – reg.

The Government of India is aware that with the increased efficiency levels among women in every walk of life, more importantly in the Government sector, a good number of female candidates has been joining services in various organizations of the Central Government in different capacities at all levels ranging from Group ‘C’ to Group ‘A’. While many of them have been performing duties efficiently, their physiological condition changes when they reach certain age which is a natural phenomenon. Federation desires to bring to your kind notice that there is need to consider granting Special Casual Leave for the Women employees of 45 years age and above working in the Central Government services due to the reason that they face hormonal imbalances at the menopause stage which hampers the physical and mental health of women. Therefore provision for granting Special Casual Leave for those Woman employees of 45 years age and above including those who undergo Hysterectomy Operation needs to be considered.

Also check: 7th Pay Commission Leave Rules

NFIR, therefore, requests the Cabinet Secretary to kindly intervene and get the matter examined for making provision for granting Special Casual Leave to the Woman employees of Central Government services in the above mentioned situations.

Subject: Grant of Special Casual Leave for the Purpose of Blood Donation – Reg.

The undersigned is directed to refer to the provisions of this Department’s O.M. dated 8.10.1956, which for grant of Special Casual Leave to a Government servant who donates blood on that day.

In this regard, it is noted that presently this rule applies only to whole blood donation and does not cover apheresis donation. It is felt that rule should cover apheresis donation as well since it will have the added advantage of getting blood components like platelets, plasma etc.

In view of the above, it has now been decided that Special Casual Leave may be granted for blood donation or for apheresis (blood components such as red cells, plasma, platelets etc.) donation at licensed Blood Banks on a working day (for that day only) up to a maximum of 4 times in a year on submission of valid proof of donation.
