It has also been decided that no Casual Leave (C.L) for absence either in the 1st haft of the day or in the 2nd half or for the whole day nor any other leave shall be granted to the employee concerned on 26th November, 2020.
Further, it has been decided that absence of concerned employees on 26th November, 2020 will be treated as 'dies non' unless such absence is covered by the following grounds:
(a) Hospitalisation of the employees
(b) Bereavement in the family
(c) Employees who had been on Child Care Leave (C.C.L), Maternity Leave, Medical Leave (M.L) and Earned Leave sanctioned prior to the 26th November, 2020.
