Hi,

 

Will Apprentice Mechanics under training who are in the new training module be considered Unpaid  Holidays as UPH (like artisan staff) or as Holiday as they get the same pay of that of the Supervisor with GP of either 4200 or 4600.

 

If treating them as artisan staff during the training period is there any post in IR which provides a GP of 4200 & 4600 during the training period??

Dear Sir,

My dad is a railway employee and he is getting retired in 2013. Unfortunately he got a transfer and because of his medical condition(High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and Arthritis) its not possible for him to continue with the job, so he wants to apply for VRS and use his medical leaves during this 3 months of notice period.

For trainees LAP 16 and LHAP 20 are written in rules but you are saying that trainees only get 10 days CL only Why?

Are there any more type of leaves which can take by trainees?

LEAVE FOR TRAINEES: Trainees are eligible for 10 days CL + 16 days LAP + 20 days LHAP in a year. Female trainees are eligible for maternity leave for 135 days, if she has less than 2 surviving child. In the case of male trainee,he is eligible for paternity leave for 15 days,provided, he has less than 2 surviving child.

These are no explicit rule either permitting or prohibiting this combination.

Rule 508 of Establishment Code:

"Combination of holidays with leave.�(1) When the date immediately preceding the day on which a railway servant�s leave begins or immediately following the day on which his leave expires is a holiday or one of a series of holidays, the railway servant may leave his station at the close of the day before, or return to it on the day following such holidays "

So all depends on the interpretation.
