Child Care Leave (CCL) in respect of Railway Employees- clarification.

The Railway Board issued recently clarification on  the Child Care Leave -CCL, 

No.E(P&A)f-2008/CPC/LE-8, Dt:12.12.2008

Please refer to Board's letter of even number dated 23.10.2008 wherein child care leave for a period of two years was introduced for female Railway servants ad regards procedure for grant of child care leave, the following clarifications are issued:-

1. CCL cannot be demanded as a matter er of right.  Under no circumstances can any employee proceed on CCL with prior proper approval of the leave by the leave sanctioning authority.

2. The leave is to be treated like the Earned Leave and sanctioned as such.

3. Consequently, Saturdays, Sundays, Gazetted holidays etc., falling during the period of leave would also count for CCL, as in the case of earned leave at her credit.

4. CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leaveat her credit.

5. CCL sanctioned prior to 18-11-2008 shall be treated as CCL and shall be deducted from the Child Care Leave account of the Railway employee concerned. No adjustment against any other kind of leave shall be made in this regard. The Child Care Leave sanctioned for the period beyond 18-11-2008 shall be regulated as in terms of para (iv) above.

Are you read thee above clarifications issued by Railway Board?. What is Your openion on it.  Is it helpful to the female railway servents , definately not.  Why beacuse the clause No. iv in above matter clearly mentioned that CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave at her Credit.  What is the use of CCL when the employee have the LAP in her credit. that means the govt. says no women employee have the LAP in her credit.  It is not possible to Maintain zero balance in her credit. beacuse the women employees are regular workers naturally they don't take much leave in their service, only few women employees take so may leaves. 

           The CCL not helpful to much employees but it is helpful to the few employees their LAP leave credit zero.
