The Haryana Government has decided to allow Child Care Leave (CCL) to women Government employees to take care of their children at the time of need whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like examination, sickness, etc.
While disclosing this today, the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda said that CCL might be granted for a maximum period of two years (i.e. 730 days) during the entire service to a women government employee for taking care of her two eldest surviving children below the age of 18 years only.
CCL would not be debited against the leave account but would be admissible when the concerned women government employee has no earned leave at her credit. The leave account of CCL would be maintained in a proforma and kept in the service book of the concerned employee, he added.
The Chief Minister said that the leave salary as admissible while on earned leave would also be admissible during the period of CCL up to 730 days. The nature of CCL would be like the earned leave, therefore, Saturdays, Sundays and Gazetted holidays, etc. falling during the period of leave would also be counted for CCL, as in case of earned leave. It might be availed of in more than one spell.
Mr. Hooda said that CCL might also be allowed to women government employee for the third year as ‘Leave not Due’ (without production of medical certificate) or it might be combined with leave of the kind due and admissible provided no Earned Leave should be in her credit at that time and leave salary during the third year would be the same as admissible while on ‘Leave not due” or leave of the kind due, as the case may be. No CCL would be admissble for third or next child irrespective of his age.
CCL might be sanctioned by the authority competent under the rules to grant earned leave to the concerned women government employee, he added.
